Der Hölle Rache - Diana Damrau - Salzburg 2006

The famous (and extremely difficult) second aria of the Queen of the Night of Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte" sung live in the Salzburger Festspiele (August, 2006) by the unbeatable Diana Damrau ^^ (I must make a remark: SHE WAS SINGING WITH LARYNGITIS).

I don't like the dress, but she'd be worth watching even if she was dressed in pink lol Muti was conducting, Pierre Audi was the one with the scenography and Jorge Jara the responsible for the costumes (Blame him, not Diana...)

@lilith89ibz And he is a stupid man, as many men are. It was, perhaps, a stupid thing to say (Ay, a werry stupid thing to say) but I still think that the director is a philistine. Yet, you have outproven me, in a way; and I, for thee, strew white lilies on thy wits.

Excuse my english, fair friend, also!

[Lilith89ibz]

@veritaas Agreed on that. This production takes one of the stereotypes, the children story, to a ridiculous extent. What I find hideous are the costumes, mostly. It does have a couple of interesting ideas (like when the Queen hears the conversation between the Three Ladies, Tamino and Papageno) but even the worst productions have some good ideas. That they suggest the Queen goes from 'good' to 'bad' changing the color of her dress from light to dark green to black is really stupid.

[TheWizardofodd12]

Her acting and voice is beyond great but she looks like a crowned cabbage/broccoli. Why the color green? I mean if it was blue or black it wouldn't be a big deal, but green? Really? Shes the queen of the night not queen of the broccoli!

"I must make a remark: SHE WAS SINGING WITH LARYNGITIS"

I don't believe it!

[beatrizmarin]

Genial, totalmente genial. Su voz e interpretación ¡fuera de serie! Y la puesta ¡increible! El verde petróleo es exactamente una noche mozartiana y mágica. De repollos nada jajaja. Gracias por compartir estas delicias.

Dear GOD, does Damrau even TRY for those high notes?!

@TheWizardofodd12

I know, right!? At least they were consistant and painted the night sky green as well.

[MrHomerum]

Pamina looks older than the queen!

[acuriousaffair]

The costumes are ludicrous. Seems mocking to the beauty of this aria.
