Damrau is THE definitive Queen of the Night! Love the costumes here too.

I've honestly never heard a better version of the "Queen of the Night" Aria, and I've performed in that Opera a half dozen times or so. This blows me away every time I listen to it. The icing on the cake is that Diana Damrau is so freaking sexy I can hardly stand it!

Good choice! Thank you!!

Nice choice! Thank you kindly for the promote, Sir Rasch.

and here's a translation of what she sings (second aria by the Queen Of The Night in The Magic Flute):

Hell's vengeance boils in my heart;
Death and despair, blaze around me!
If Sarastro does not feel death pains because of you,
Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
Disowned be forever,
Forsaken be forever,
Shattered be forever
All the bonds of nature
If Sarastro is not bleached because of you!
Hear, gods of vengeance, hear the mother's oath!

Thank you graciously, Sire!
