Truly a historical singer for Mozart! I am so glad she is giving a recital in Paris in December, a few days after Natalie Dessay sings in the same theater.
Can't agree more, and that's why i don't understand why some people just don't want to admit that Sutherland's coloratura is more mature than Callas', not that I deny Callas' talent or anything, it's just, like you said, PROGRESS.
la mejor de todas las vocaes del mundo no solo interpretando al Dios de la música Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, si no cualquier pieza, la mejor de todos los tiempos: Maria callas e interpretando la reina de la noche, simplemente es sublime
You have a point, because in DIE ZAUBERFLUTE characters don't know who is really the evil one until maybe the second act. In this aria Queen of the night is talking to her daughter; she can't looks "totally" evil, even when she's trying to convince her to do something evil (kill Sarastro).
Maria Callas nunca ha cantado esta aria. En muchos lugares pone que esa grabación tan conocida es de Maria Callas pero en realidad es de Lucia Popp esa voz. Y considero que Lucia Popp ha sido la mejor cantante de Opera
Primera noticia que tengo de que Maria Callas hubiera cantado la famosa aria de la reina de la noche. Supongo que debería estar en las compilaciones de sus grandes interpretaciones. Ojalá alguien pudiera comentar más al respecto.
She used to be a great Queen of the Night. The recording is of bad quality. She sings correctly. High F´s are of different quality of sound, and the microphone could not take them perfectly. She is a DIVA, perhaps better in Rigoletto. Costumes cannot be evaluated through this video, but are not modern costumes, of course. She has been Semiramide, Violetta, and recentrly, NORMA. Love to her!!!
Bei der Version von den Salzburger Festspielen ab 1978 ist die Arie besser. Die Produktionen ist wahrscheinlich eine der besten Zauberflöten überhaupt, hab noch nichts besseres gefunden. Aber Gruberova ist und bleibt die beste Königin der Nacht.
EXACTLY!! As is Dessay, Deutekom, Moser, etc. While I adore Edita, her Queen is not my favorite. I posted this as a rare and early excerpt or her singing.
does anyone know... When Mozart wrote this, did he have a very talented someone in mind to sing it? Did the TransSiberian Orchestra come up with the piano part that's so signature of their song kind of based on this? very good perfarmance, and anyone who can perform it well enough not to torture people has some talent.
Pues, las arias que he conseguido de la Reina de la Noche que dicen ser por Maria Callas no es verdad. Es decir no es la voz de la Callas. No creo que ella cantara a la Reina de la Noche.
After listening to Damrau, I preffer Gruberova, Queen of the night has to be evil, but a kind of cold and BEAUTIFUL evil, Damrau screams all the time and has no sense of rithm, Damrau doesn't know how to use her expresive tools, she's just thinking about being evil, but i miss an evil more clever, one who can look like an angel SOMETIMES. Damrau high notes sounds almost like folrence foster, evil would sound and look perfect, COLD, and beautiful; just like Gruberova!
My last comments were made 3 months ago so i can tell you that since then i've seen a lot of grube's work. And from some performances like "the bell song" (which requires an amazing skill) Grube was absolutely astonishing (and it was live too) but you have to admit that on one thing i was right: Dessay really has a more obedient voice and she reaches the notes with no delay ...and on top of that, i was just stating my opinion before, so please dont lower your level and insult people like you did
She has gorgeous voice and this is an exquisite rendition of the aria...the only criticism that I have is that the 16th's aren't clean, as jrbrook76 stated previously (and of course that the costume is completely obnoxious lol).
yes, you are absolutely right about this. But don't forget that even though it's hard for a mezzo soprano to reach high notes, gruberova is a coloratura! she OUGHT to reach high notes...all im saying is that i think dessay is better than gruberova...maybe it doesnt depend on their skills at all...maybe its just a fact of having different voices...and i prefer how dessay's voice sounds.
now, im totally sure that at least one person will give this comment a "-" but i got to say this. Gruberova IS a really great singer with great skills but have you listened closely? I mean to me it seems like her voice comes out with difficulty...and some times this makes her even go out of tempo (especially in high notes)and there's almost no vibrato..While Dessay sings this aria with great ease and has a really "obedient" voice and she can reach with ease the most high note in opera, the f6.
It was okay, but have heard better. Doesn't sound like she practiced the intervals in the 16th notes slow enough. The high notes are nicely executed...but some of the 16ths leading into them are sloppy.
Oh please... just get over it. there are billions of people in this world... and someone has to be better or faster or slower or higher or whatever things than others. It is called "no, not everything will be given to one person". BASTA!
Simply one of the best singers of thepast century! Thank You!
Amazing. A definite natural in the art of collortura.
Amazing. A definite natural in the art of coloratura.

RIP LA REGINA PER SEMPRE
Edita : simply the best forever 😢
I love the quality of her voice, its beauty, in this performance.
PHENOMENAL!
I really do love this woman--she gives so much character and musicality to her performances. Brava--!
con ese traje, edita gruberova se parece a Bjork! que produccion mas rara pero que vengativos e intimidantes esos agudos. precioso.
wow what a voice
Can't agree more, and that's why i don't understand why some people just don't want to admit that Sutherland's coloratura is more mature than Callas', not that I deny Callas' talent or anything, it's just, like you said, PROGRESS.
the best ever..I love her voice very very much..
la mejor de todas las vocaes del mundo no solo interpretando al Dios de la música Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, si no cualquier pieza, la mejor de todos los tiempos: Maria callas e interpretando la reina de la noche, simplemente es sublime
Diana Damrau hits this the BEST of anyone I've ever heard try to perform this VERY difficult and amazing aria...
No way :-) Slovak, the one and only Edita Gruberova :-)
こんなに高音なのに、声に無理が無く自然にとても美しく聞こえます。
Echt geil! Wenn ich das singen kann bin ich gut :P xD
Das ist wirklich wundervoll gesungen!
Fantastic!(cyranothe2nd this record is from 1981!May be this lady was one the model of many singers on the scene)
I loveeeeeeeeee!
beautifull.
Mozart wrote this for his sister-in-law Maria Josepha (Weber) Hofer. Those Weber girls sure could sing!
Dont know about TSO.
You have a point, because in DIE ZAUBERFLUTE characters don't know who is really the evil one until maybe the second act. In this aria Queen of the night is talking to her daughter; she can't looks "totally" evil, even when she's trying to convince her to do something evil (kill Sarastro).
The best Ive heard other than Serra I think thats her name. This is fabulous too.
Maria Callas nunca ha cantado esta aria. En muchos lugares pone que esa grabación tan conocida es de Maria Callas pero en realidad es de Lucia Popp esa voz. Y considero que Lucia Popp ha sido la mejor cantante de Opera
well then you need to hear the recording done in the early 60s starring roberta peters as the queen. She is best queen i've heard hands down
yeah the costume is distracting but the voice BRILLIANT! and her DRAMATISM superb!.
Primera noticia que tengo de que Maria Callas hubiera cantado la famosa aria de la reina de la noche. Supongo que debería estar en las compilaciones de sus grandes interpretaciones. Ojalá alguien pudiera comentar más al respecto.
great costume
fantastic tonal clarity... like Popp come alive (even better perhaps)!
Popp and Gruberova both studied with the same teacher in Vienna.
Angela Lansbury...you're right!
She used to be a great Queen of the Night. The recording is of bad quality. She sings correctly. High F´s are of different quality of sound, and the microphone could not take them perfectly. She is a DIVA, perhaps better in Rigoletto. Costumes cannot be evaluated through this video, but are not modern costumes, of course. She has been Semiramide, Violetta, and recentrly, NORMA. Love to her!!!
Lol I like that boy singing The Magic Flute best!
Ok, very competent performance
She looks like a character from Beauty and the Beast where the objects come alive. I'd say she'd be a peice of a wall.
Do you have O Zittre Nicht from the same production too?
Unfortunately no, this was the only excerpt from this production with Edita.
like

unfortunately no. This was all that was on the DVD.
What's the deal with the costume?
She's just awesome!
The one and onyl: Edita Gruberova
Love it.. ahahahahahahahaha!! :D
Let's say the costumer stood to close to the Good Will box.
Truly BITCHIN! :D
i like the costume. It reminds me of something...
and who is the best singer nowadays in ur opinion?
Do you have O zittre nicht?
Sorry, no. I also apologize for the late response.
She looks like theat laddy from 100 dalmations. Crualla Deville.
is she czech?
@Wildepianist the vibrato?
does anyone know...
When Mozart wrote this, did he have a very talented someone in mind to sing it?

very good perfarmance, and anyone who can perform it well enough not to torture people has some talent.
Watch the video again and listen more closely...the quality of the recording is quite poor - no fault of Ms. Gruberovas.
install an add-on of Firefox and you can download it
See pharaohchnaq's vids u'll find it.That lid is awesome I'm so jealous of him.I'm a girl and I never did sing like that!See it!
Pues, las arias que he conseguido de la Reina de la Noche que dicen ser por Maria Callas no es verdad. Es decir no es la voz de la Callas. No creo que ella cantara a la Reina de la Noche.
Does she has an error of coloratura on 1.04?
NO! she's queen Amidala! HAHAHA

I don't like English either, but I can speak it, so why not...
was id EDITAED out?
great job on one of my favortie songs...but i think i have heard her and others sing it a lil better....and the costume? i just finished puking
My last comments were made 3 months ago so i can tell you that since then i've seen a lot of grube's work. And from some performances like "the bell song" (which requires an amazing skill) Grube was absolutely astonishing (and it was live too) but you have to admit that on one thing i was right: Dessay really has a more obedient voice and she reaches the notes with no delay ...and on top of that, i was just stating my opinion before, so please dont lower your level and insult people like you did
Well, thats not that many actually.
It's a good idea but it seems that their costumer was out of their mind at the time.
but she is a good singer.
Si sólo la escuchan esta excelente, pero ya lo he dicho, la actuación de Damrau es muco mas malvada!
te apoyo mikenox53 la mejor interprete de esta aria fue Maria Callas, aunque a esta mujer no le sale nada mal, no se compara...
Каллас не співала цієї арії...
la migliore per me é Luciana Serra...
Diana Damrau is the best I've ever seen on youtube.
She has gorgeous voice and this is an exquisite rendition of the aria...the only criticism that I have is that the 16th's aren't clean, as jrbrook76 stated previously (and of course that the costume is completely obnoxious lol).
plus ou moins...
Edita nem tom kellő képpen kifejezni a csaodálatomat,ahogy kell...
Yep... But she lakes of power and presence. The queen of the night is not a role for her I think.
Better than Lucia Popp?
I think Natalie Dessay's is better-more fluid over the top notes.
yes, you are absolutely right about this. But don't forget that even though it's hard for a mezzo soprano to reach high notes, gruberova is a coloratura! she OUGHT to reach high notes...all im saying is that i think dessay is better than gruberova...maybe it doesnt depend on their skills at all...maybe its just a fact of having different voices...and i prefer how dessay's voice sounds.
what on earth is she wearing??
pues callas era soprano dramatica no?
Nowadays we have maaany great singers...but I prefer Cecilia Bartoli and Juan Diego Flórez ^^
canta mejor tmb XD
now, im totally sure that at least one person will give this comment a "-" but i got to say this. Gruberova IS a really great singer with great skills but have you listened closely?

Actually the highest note in opera is the optional G6 in Massenet's Esclarmonde.
It was okay, but have heard better. Doesn't sound like she practiced the intervals in the 16th notes slow enough. The high notes are nicely executed...but some of the 16ths leading into them are sloppy.
Oh please... just get over it. there are billions of people in this world... and someone has to be better or faster or slower or higher or whatever things than others. It is called "no, not everything will be given to one person". BASTA!
I've seen worse costumes...
I prefer Diana Damrau, either like actress than singer
