Diana Damrau sings Mozart 's "Queen of the Night"

I know it takes incredible talent to do what she does. But I gotta say, I'm not enjoying her voice as much as I'd like. That's why I usually listen to Mezzo Sopranos instead.

I like a little bit of depth in volume. Usually when sopranos sing high notes their volume stays high but they lose that resonance I look for. Hitting high notes like that is incredibly hard, but doesn't automatically make it a pleasant sound, at least according to my personal taste.

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!
