This is highly addictive.
I swear that woman's eyes SPARKLE on stage.
Wolfgang A.Mozart would surely stand up in front of this spectacular performance......He would have loved so much this Lady :-)
AND she's a great actress. So rare in the opera! She's the whole package. Kudos, Ms. Damrau.
The best Queen of the night I've ever seen and heard
Am I the only one who thinks O Zitre Nicht is even more beautiful than Der Hölle Rache?
We were allowed to show the rest of the class our favourite music so i choose this
Because shes the best
Wow! she's perfect for this role. What a gorgeous sound. Many singers who take on this role only have the facility and high notes, but the sound can be thin or edgy. She's got a beautiful fat round sound. Glorious!!!
heaven must be an infinite loop of this performance
This is as close to magic as mortals can get.
--R.T. Thomes
I love the way her scheming almost gets the better of her in the coloratura bits, almost betraying her mischief in her glee.
Superb.
her final coloratura was so moving. she was really into her role: crying and laughing hopefully and desperately at the same time. No other coloratura soprano has done like her: getting really into the mood, soul, and meaning of the song
I saw her queen of the night at the met a few years ago and was astounded that it was a better performance than any I've heard. Her voice was clear, perfectly focused and quite powerful! She also manages to sing such ridiculous passages and still stay perfectly wicked, both vocally and dramatically, no mean feat!
I love everything about this production. Damrau simply shines here. She's a fantastic queen. If not the best, one of the absolute best ever! Her outfit is amazing, everything fits perfectly, her makeup,her flawless technique, stunning voice, acting...bravíssima, Diana!
Oh I just love Diana Damrau! I don't know any better soprano opera singer.
+A320fan In this role, nope. Unsurpassable
I keep on going and listening to others that people say are great but I keep on coming back to Damrau, I suppose she is my preferred queen of the night, but I suppose she as also the first one I listened to and you never forget the first
4:24 lol lost her composure there for a sec (simply fantastic acting when you lose your composure AS your character). Marvelous.
She gives a huge '' in your face Mozart. I nailed it!''
this is the best Queen of the Night. didnt realize it until now really...i always look for her singing the part when i want to listen to the arias.
the best Queen of the Night ever!!!
It's really highly unusual to find this level of completeness in an opera singer. If I concentrate in the vocal part, some other voices come to my mind with more strength. But considering the whole performance, this is absolutely superb.
The costume is a masterpiece!!! *_*
The best queen of the night actress.
Plus, truly incredibly singing:-)
Utterly astounding, a seminal operatic performance akin to the legendary Los Angeles concert performance by Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras. Pitch perfect throughout and emoted superbly. I regret never having experienced this in person.
The Queen is a signature role for her. The best Queen of this era and on par with the greatest Queen ever, Edda Moser.
Her physicality is gorgeous. Such bold choices.
A superb actor and singer, Diana Damrau!
Long live the queen!
she is the best...amazing voice.
"Oh, zittre nicht, mein lieber Sohn" ist eben keine reine Bravourarie.
Ist es nicht erstaunlich, wie ausdrucksvoll sie diesen "Weibsteufel" spielt und singt und dabei ein lupenreines Deutsch zeigt? Einfach grandios!
Superb!Fantastic! Damrau, costumes, stage set, everything. Metropolitan Opera NYC.
El video favorito de mi hija de 1 año 6 meses, saludos desde chile.
What a royal entrance! Goosebumps!
Certifié intergalactique! Diana Damrau est le meilleur "Reine de la nuit".
She is absolutely phenomenal; and that high F! :D
She is simply flawless, peerless, unique.
Damrau has an amazing characterization of the Queen Of The Night. I love it!
perfect acting ...wonderful voice !
The costumes and set design are absolutely gorgeous! It really makes it an all-round performance rather than just watching someone sing...And as for Diana Damrau, she's completely mesmerising!
wow, I'm speechless...she's amazing
Her performance is stunning, musically and dramatically. An all-time great.
Simply the best Queen of the night I've heard!!!
Ojala un dia pueda escuchar a Diana en vivo. Seria feliz!
The best ever! Full-bodied voice, interpretation, intonation, inspiration! Yes! Das beste!
Overpowering, mesmerising, unforgettable ! ...... simply the greatest performance I've ever seen and heard .
There's two of us. Here Diana Damrau makes of all the fiorituras mean something. They finally make sense!!
I have the priviledge of owning this DVD. No boring moment. Each singer is a fantastic talent, in their own right. Take nothing away from the other singers. Diana evokes such pity in her first aria (O zitt're Nicht). Her - combining that voice with her acting - is simply breathtaking. She could give many a Hollywood actor a lesson or two!! Her aria Der Holle Rache, is so awe inspiring that I find myself "on her side". Absolutely hypnotic, stupendous from the Queen of the World
Damrau is a magnificent queen of the night, both in singing and acting.
This is the best performance of the Queen of Night I have ever heard. Beautiful, dramatic!
This is beautiful
This aria has the toughest coloratura ever and she sings the hell out of it.
I love both singing this and hearing it sung. It's just a blast of coloratura fun and manipulation. And there is no better Queen I have ever heard than Diana Damrau.
I agree with you !! So many emotions appear through this aria ! and the coloratura is just breathtaking !
ho i brividi!!!!! meravigliosa!!!
her voice makes me cry..mozart and her voice combined..what else could go wrong?
Love the way she hits the 'ja'
Stunning.Best recoded version of all time IMO.
Ah....................This mix is a heaven for me.
E impossibile non innammorarsene ..... Diana simply fantastic.....
Unearthly, magic.
Diana is the one and only Queen of the Night
The best! singing and acting! Chapeau madame Damrau!
oh my god, i looooooooove this woman !!
The best performance!
Glad you like it ^^ The quality should be better, full HD, but youtube was being mean to me and I had to upload the HQ... I will retry the HD, let's see if it works at some point :)
Thank you very much Lilith. I collected the other parts too. "O zittre nicht" is one of my favorit parts. Not only for singing, but also for her great acting during the whole aria. She reached the grade of perfection!
from about 3:13 to 3:30 is heavenly. Seriously. I mean, I love the entire aria (the passage at the end is amazing) and particularly Diana Damrau but that passage really touches my soul...
She is simply perfect! No more, no less!
This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
her final coloratura is so moving. she was like laughing and crying hopefully yet desperately. It brings me to tear whenever I listen to it
this is the best quality video I've seen of this aria
Ach helft, Ach helft! gave me goosebumps
Thanks sister for your helpful knowledge !
This woman, Diana Damrau, is great! Plays the psychotic yet in complete control of perfect vocal technique. BravissimaQ
The best Queen of the Night ever!!
That's really great!
Diana Damrau is perfect
I'd say that they're so different, that they're hard to compare... Both beautiful in their very own way! And her performance is brilliant in both cases, singing as well as acting, so... ;-) Both a real pleasure to watch, time and again!
Absolutely fabulous.
мое самое любимое исполнение этой арии! самая лучшая певица!
You are correct. "O Zittre Nicht" is beautiful and very demanding in it's own right. This role is so hard to sing because the 2 arias are different but very difficult. The coloratura run at the end of "O Zittre Nicht" is to me the most difficult run ever written in opera.
thank you!!!!!!!!
very gooooooood!!!
clap!clap!clap!
Divine Damrau!
Thank you, Lilith89ibz!
I love this!
I've always loved the section from 3:35 - 3:38. It's so funny. You, you, you!
Perfect!
amazing begging and end to this song amazing
You dont even have to understand this to like it
Bravissima!
Amazing! :D
I don't know either, but I have ripped the DVDs in 720p HD, and I actually uploaded some excerpts of interviews in that quality. The file of this video I have in my computer is HD, but I had to make the quality a little worse so youtube wouldn't crash before finishing the upload *sigh*
Expressive facial expression.
:: goosebumps. everytime. ::
Hrm, strange. Not sure where the extra quality would be coming from, as (at least in the US) DVDs are encoded as 720 x 480p (with the 720 referring to vertical resolution, not horizontal). They may be higher in Europe, as I know Europe sdtv is higher, on the order of 520p.
You are welcome ^^ I'm happy you enjoy it so much! I certainly do too.
Opera singers do not use amplification microphones, so she doesn't have one hidden anywhere. The only microphones are the ones recording the sound. There are some on the edge of the stage and some suspended in the air across the theatre. The orchestra is in a pit in front of the stage, that's why you don't see it. You can see what I mean if you check the beginning of this opera, also on my channel.
she is one of my favourite queen *_*
impossible to be surpassed!
Excelente!
@masterclassicalmusic the whole 5:12 is one aria, it's called 'O Zittre Nicht'
it may seem to have two parts, but it is one aria.
Cute
I love her 💜
