Mozart Zauberflöte "Der Hölle Rache" Diana Damrau

Diana Damrau as Queen of the Night performing "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen!" at the "Salzburger Festspiele" 2006

[@anouchka96]

Diana Damrau is not just performing the Queen of the Night: SHE IS the Queen of the Night.

[@luisaguiarsantos]

Simply the best Queen of the Night ever, both in lyrical and dramatic terms.

[@robynnecyndie]

One just believes her anger. Never seen a better performance. Großartig, Frau Damrau. Ich ziehe ehrfürchtig meinen Hut.

[@pianoman5157]

Diese Frau hat ja eine unglaubliche Stimme! Dermaßene Power, Schönheit und Perfektion!!!! Unglaublich gut!! Wieso kannte ihc diesen Namen nicht? Eine der besten klassischen Sängerinnen der Welt!

[@THyperon]

Piano Man Bayern-Power! 😊

[@harrymartini5170]

Die beste Königin der Nacht auf immer und ewig!

[@DrGarri]

I think we would hardly see and hear a better singer in this role, she captivates you from the moment she puts a foot onstage. Another things, she is the nicest person and a great collegue!!! Brava Diana, we all miss you in Frankfurt!

[@wodisi]

Bravo, bravo, bravissimo! Eine fabelhafte Königin der Nacht! Schauspielerisch und sängerisch eine einzigartigartige professionelle Synthese. Herrlich!

[@mercuriuscompany]

Fantastic singer and actress. Incredible how she has complete control of top notes to the extent of gradating lenght and dynamics of pedal top c" and a", not to mention that amazingly perfect f"!!!

[@jjh2456]

Does anyone ever get tired of hearing Damrau's "Der Holle Rache", cause I sure don't.

[@WolligesHangschaf]

Ich kann nur sagen das Diana Damrau eine der besten Königinen ist, ihre stimme ist kraftvoll, und ihre gesten sind sehr glaubwürdig. Sie ist einfach wunderbar! Wir haben das doch schon erlebt das wir in der Zauberflöte waren, viel Geld für die Karte bezahlt haben, und die Königin war zum davonlaufen schlecht war.. Ich gehe nur noch in die Zauberflöte, wenn ich weis wer die Königin gibt, aber wenn Diana Damrau , oder Carol Struder die Königin singen,denn kann es nur perfekt sein!

[@karstengraef8804]

Auch das Schauspiel hat mich sehr beeindruckt.

[@tomaszsadowski1515]

Ein perfekter Dialog zwischen einer verwundeten Mutter und einer verliebten Tochter, die ihren Vater nicht töten will.

[@xxchiefaustinxx]

Her costume kind of reminds me of broccoli... She is perfect though

[@LuisaJana]

too 😂

[@drewqq]

It's rare to see this much fire and energy in the Queen. What a fantastic actress Damrau is.

[@carlosmaguayosr6162]

A hair-raising voice and performance specially towards the end!!! How appropriate this took place in Salzburg! Mozart would be proud! How Privileged those who were there in person!

[@lyside1]

imponente lirico di coloratura che unisce sapientemente al perfetto controllo della voce una magnetica presenza scenica...complimenti

[@ursus1302]

DIE königin unserer zeit!!

[@atonalic]

I like listen Diana Damrau!She is Perfect!

[@lord666christoph]

Ms. Damrau knows how to give me the chills. The sheer power in her voice...amazing.

[@MagmaIT]

OMG!! So great power in her interpretation...i love it! She looks like my mom when scream to me :D

[@thisismyname007]

I like her costume. It looks like something from Hellraiser (the 1987 movie.)

[@podkivanok]

How versatile artist she is! Her acting is so different from the famous 2003 version, but very-very good

[@josecaballero9987]

Es increíble el nivel de agudos de su coloratura ligera que alcanza Damrau y la orquesta con Mutti más la Filarmónica de Viena, acompaña en forma soberbia, puede ser la mejor versión en dvd

[@tanyadixon3479]

I agree 💯!

[@Gaudeoso]

einfach fantastisch

[@mjp804]

I think what's great about this operetta is that the plot and the drama is simple enough that the audience doesn't have to fight to understand. Whether your "poor, uncultured," or "ignorant". Diana Damrau is a complete force that is amazing to watch and listen to.

[@f072285]

i really love her acting she fits this character so well

[@samirmatar8794]

probably the best performer, Diana Damrau, is fantastic🎉❤

[@Sowoidnich]

Diana´s performance at Covent Garden is the best performance of the magic flute I have ever seen!

[@carmelaapollonio8041]

Una sola parola : SUBLIME ! Meravigliosa interpretazione. La Vera Regina della Notte. Tutta la mia ammirazione. Un grande applauso 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@karlavizc]

¡¡BRAVO Diana!!, excelsa, espectacular, me pongo de pie, bravo.

[@000sara000]

La mejor reina de la noche, me encanta como utiliza las dinámicas!

[@violinistx100]

You know her larynx was on fire after this....great singing as always

[@agentekgb]

Mozart ist der beste.

[@VampirGaby]

Ich liebe ihre Stimme, sie ist toll!!!

[@1510Ronald]

WOW - besser geht's nicht - absolute Spitze. Die Worte sagen uns auch heute noch etwas.

[@callastoujours]

Absolutely AMAZING!! 5/5

[@TheMysteriousBook]

Diana Damrau ist für mich die beste aller Königinen der Nacht .!

[@mihailvanderhill]

I've played Mozart's Magic Flute many times with many different scene directors and many differents conductors, and many differents queens, and I haven't seen yet some scene director or conductor telling the queen how to sing it. After many years I could say that it's up to the singer at, at least, an 80%. It would be nice to see that we are wellcome in youtube to respect different opinions instead of clicking negative points. Thanks and have a nice day.

[@STohme]

As the Queen of the Night Diana Damrau is perfect with her presence and her outstanding Soprano voice.

[@antoniocmteixeira]

Wonderful performance. I think that this is one of the most difficult pieces for soprano ever written. Congratullations.

[@Harutyunian]

GIGANTISCH! Kann nicht genug davon kriegen! BRAVA!

[@michaelstaengl1349]

Mozart and Schikaneder would be absolutely and totally proud of Diana Damrau, THE Queeen of the Night.

[@breakaliciouskid786]

reminds me of my mom .

[@charlesmendeley9823]

Poor you!

[@chayoto]

I've heard several other Queens. Though Damrau's rendition might not be the most accomplished vocally, her acting greatly surpasses any other soprano I've seen perform that role. Most fearsome Queen ever! Bravo!

[@EdwardWongtheFourth]

This feels like the most natural, and thus, dramatic, one... I mean, you really don't notice the knife until the end when she places it in her hands, and the exit is wonderful.

[@montecarlostar]

Yeah, you can tell also on the way she speaks. She is clearly very cautious not to irritate her throat. You can hear her literally screaming on the other version that is posted here in youtube.

[@mcastro88]

I totally agree Damrau is the BEST Queen. She's spot-on with the role.

[@7up4me]

FABULOUS!!!!

[@damfanrau]

aùn con ese ahogo, es la MAS GRANDE de todas las que hubo , hay ,o habrà. Cada vez que veo cualquiera de sus videos, sin darme cuenta , me encuentro como un estùpido atrapado en su imagen

[@joanna081959]

@bonsherah excellent taste.. this is one of my favourites.. he was so ahead of his time.. politically out there but in a very subversive way... incredible talent and style... just breathtaking..

[@paddymusic]

i watched the middle part of the aria again and again ....i don't think that she ran out of air ....you have to look at her mimic ....at the beginning of the phrase she looks like obtaining her daughters confidence,but at the end of the phrase it's like emotional cut and the vengefully queen is back!it'S her art of interpretation

[@AIWboojum]

Er, no

[@Sonja-mo3sh]

DIANA DAMRAU ❤

[@mrportobello]

i think that this is fantastic. but i also think that dessays is phenomenal. her drama and clarity are both impeccable.

[@drosselbart11]

best performence on youtube of this song

[@ilovepattilupone]

LOVE her costume!

[@thessie]

ROFL....Apt description! And I agree with you, her voice in fantastic, such delicacy and grace within that power!

[@lucluc1000]

I love Mosser´s Queen and Damrau´s Queen!!! Both are the best!!!!!

[@jorgeocasio2930]

I agree. Edda Moser was an awesome Queen of the Night. A true dramatic coloratura as this role demands. Damrau is also a great Queen and did a great job here despite being sick. Brava!

[@zungg]

i would wear that outfit everyday!

[@emma41093]

This impossible aria is made even harder by the slow tempo. My God. It just shows how good her stamina and control is

[@yarr4444]

Nicht nur dass die Töne kraftvoll getroffen sind, sondern man versteht auch jedes Wort. Eine stimmgewaltige Damrau lässt das Bühnenbild in den Hintergrund treten was es ja auch soll, denn die Handlung an sich ist das hervorhebende. Eine der besten Königinnen der Nacht überhaupt !

[@ilovepattilupone]

OMG she is FABULOUS!

[@Vierringe]

diana rocks !!!!!

[@rosiembanks]

that is awesome.

[@TheSupersizzina]

amazingly act!!!

[@kaineb13]

That's the best performance as Queen of the night

[@Alleeexoscm]

Magnfica...!! Posiblemente la mejor, quizas esa potencia en la voz y los matices de notas era lo que pensaba Mozart al escribir tan complicada aria. Damrau pudó darle fuerza y el poder al personaje, propio de una villana aterradora... ¡¡¡Viva la Damrau !!!, lástima que quiera dejar de representarlo...

[@DerThauer]

Wow! Unglaublich! Sprachlos!

[@thessie]

04:19 - Okay I burst out laughing...it sounded like the SET was going to fall over! She sounds heavenly, looks a bit like 'Time Team' meets 'Ground Force' but what can you do...

[@LETTIS79]

I always thought that Luciana Serra was the best Queen of the Night, but hands down for Diana Damrau. Her acting is excellent, love it. What a perfect performance! Too bad the tempo is sleeping-pill slow... Could someone change the conductor please?

[@jackpoint188]

This performance of Damrau is at once more approachable and more violently twisted than the more famous ensemble version. Great acoustics too.

[@MosquitoMac]

Amazing!

[@EckegNull]

EXCELLENT

[@bonsherah]

Mozart is the greatest, I love him! The only sad thing: youtube had a very bad quality in the past. But now: when you load up the video not in youtube-modus but in much bigger file, at the end the video will become very much better. But instead of that this video is suuuuper nice! If you like, look at this example in HD: "Mozart - Zauberflöte - aufgeführt von OPERA CLASSICA" Thanks and nice greatings, Rolf Bormuth

[@professorgheorghe]

Extraordinary Queen of the Night. The best ever!!!!!

[@KajiXD]

Excellent acting! most of the time I watch sopranos acting like props when they should be expressing wrath. Singing was really good too, but the recording doesn't let you appreciate it

[@Lightstrikers]

ITs hard to keep attention when you dont understand the language. Just think of the voice and words as another abstract instrument and find the emotional overtone. But with great arias like this one it never matters. I love this one from the first time i heard it. I still dont know what the Doll Song is about, but i love it.

[@bloodymary76]

è fantastica. Non ci sono parole. Ed era malata. Che darei per vederla a teatro...

[@michielgrillet]

Blew me off my socks :D

[@Smile6784]

she portrays pure evil looking beautiful too and I love her voice reminding me vaguely of Cristina Deutekom in the coloraturas

[@CarrieBHS]

How you can make someone so good looking look like the Jolly Green Giant is beyond me.

[@rachmaninovisback]

love the stuff on her head!

[@Olinser]

I don't speak the language, but man that broccoli seems to be PISSED at that carrot.

[@DonnaMcMasterRiver]

THE BEST.

[@НиколайСалмов-ъ2д]

Лучше всех!

[@haja0815]

omg... how she spells "zarastro"... it always sends shivers down my spine... there's no way one could stand against this woman :D

[@MANUELVID]

Wow que gran dama de la opera!!!!!

[@Lilith89ibz]

That's soooooo true... I couldn't agree more =)

[@mihailvanderhill]

When my mum is pissed off doesn't need to scream, she can scare with a smile, is just question of which attitude you want to use to look furious. I think an evil person should be clever and should control the emotions. Btw, I have watched the clip you've recomended and I have to say that in that one Damrau convince me, is more close to the kind of evil I like, and near the perfection of vocal technic, I like that clip as much as Gruberova singing with Harnoncourt.

[@Nibelungenfrau]

oh ja - und wie gerne ich da zustimme - ich würde sogar sagen die derzeit BESTE!!

[@dannymommens]

absolutely

[@ElisabettaVS]

What an exit!

[@SeniorKaleun]

❤❤❤diana❤❤❤

[@locchau5663]

Exciting...............i love it :D

[@matioloma]

Einfach toll!!!

[@pricklebush]

2.48 freaks me out everytime. Brilliant acting

[@Airakobra]

Bravo, Bravo! Congratulatios!

[@mihailvanderhill]

I've seen that performance thanks to "oneworldguy" some days ago, and as I said 2 days ago I like that performance VERY MUCH, is so good, I said I like it as much as the performance of Gruberova with Harnoncourt, those are my two favorites queens. But thanks anyway. BTW I have to ask my teacher because maybe he was playing in the performance at the Covent Garden (he would loved her I think)... and thanks for giving your opinion without giving me negative points, that is respect... thank you.

[@plutone1968]

Grande. Magnifica!

[@basiliskk7]

the ultimate queen of night! I love how the pamina girl is totally owned by diana
