Mozart Zauberflöte "O,zittre nicht!" Diana Damrau

[@alibouattour2567]

Even as the queen of broccoli she is absolutely divine.

[@xxxP1NKF4Nxxx]

Agreed except for the broccoli... Romanesco! 🥴

[@beatazak1440]

Cudowny głos, doskonałe wykonanie, wspaniała interpretacja, poruszanie się na scenie, ogromny talent !!! Brawo Pani Diano !!!

[@randeringer]

Why why why do so many productions seem to insist on turning the queen of the night into a broccoli??

[@jamesroby1948]

so that youtube commenters have something negative to comment about

[@junilconstantino5709]

randeringer hahahahaa

[@Tazzinaespresso]

This comment gives me life 😂

[@marialauraarmellino357]

omg i'm in tears AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

[@user-on1em2nk3i]

Lol my favorite costume of her is on Royal opera house in UK. Glitter+sheer black+ elegance! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6allnWgprCGfbM

[@Challenger2060]

The Queen of the Night is supposed to inspire fear, not the need for a salad, but GOD what a voice.

[@rouquindunord8420]

She could be a frightening QON before an audiance of butchers...

[@operamiser]

she represent nature, venus ... the fallen angel etc...

[@operabilia]

And yet another mad house production with poppy veggy costumes ... Thank God there is Diana! She rules!

[@Cedricfollyman]

I love how she gets uprooted at the beggining like a newly harvested lettuce! lovely -__-

[@mozartsmusicblog]

If I had to wear that costume...I would be that angry, too. (By the way, Damrau's voice is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!)

[@maryvallettakeith6146]

Oh, it's very credible alright.

[@stinkyshitass]

Yes, this costume is really funny, indeed. But you can dress her in rags, her voice that cannot be described with words and her superb acting will outshine everything.

[@saxamaphoneguy1]

Cheers, Diana, you never cease to amaze me. With German her mother tongue, it seems like this role was literally written for Damrau. wonderful. (crazy costume however!)

[@cml9862]

Queen of Green

[@Michael-hz2pl]

Sorry, but that’s Snoop Dog’s wife

[@jjh2456]

Her Queen will always be epic...

[@phoenixflores6193]

Jose Hill yeah even though they made her look like a walking salad

[@jjh2456]

Psymon Phoenix Flores the set pieces and costumes don’t mean anything to me. It’s how she sings this role as for me it’s all about the music.

[@Ortrudase]

a huge broccoli with a gorgeous voice :)nice color by the way really distinct and bold.

[@puppetmasterin]

Yeah, Diana Damrau - she is the best Queen of the night!

[@paddymusic]

what do you think about her bathing cap? ;)

[@jjh2456]

I just realized how loud she was for this performance. Great amplification.

[@bethwallace1482]

Diana Damrau, bravissima! Costume and stage set, absurd.

[@Michael-hz2pl]

I love how she dips into her chest range on the lowest notes

[@Ma3Hu1]

Damrau performing Queen of the broccoli, how gracious.

[@냥나으리]

She is perfect!!

[@erikmuc66]

perfekt!!

[@mynameistyler2010]

She is also the Queen of Nature as well as Night

[@wildsuncat]

Amazing!!! Magnificent! Had goosebumps all over my body....

[@DaffyMaiden]

Those are not the colors anyone would associate with the Night, but Damrau is still the Queen!

[@Rephrat]

Diana Damrau is the best queen of the night i ever seen and heard. The Fisher Diskau of the DIVAS !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jradetzky]

whoa great singing and nice radioactive dress

[@goshujinsama666]

It's been 13 years and people are still making fun of her costume on every upload of this clip it's hilarious

[@Zarastro54]

As they should. It is possibly the worst, most baffling costume decision for this character ever made. More concerned with being “different” than honoring the character. It’d be like dressing Papageno in a black robe.

[@silvr94]

she had laryngitis while singing in this production, i've heard... i thought she sang marvellously!

[@darwinism14]

Paddymusic, thank you very much for uploading this wonder

[@MrCatz-hg3fi]

Ach mein Gott!! Queen of the night looks like a freaking lettuce! D:

[@jamesroby1948]

A radioactive lettuce

[@phoenixflores6193]

Mutant broccoli

[@Jaydoggy531]

So I guess the message is... vegetables are evil? At least Damrau's amazing.

[@vitellia]

This is obviously a spectacular performance, indeed, but she does sound even better (as if that was possible!) in that Covent Garden production. She truly is FIERCE there (David McVicar RULES!) She has a huge voice and was outstanding in Agyptische Helene at the Met. I thought she almost OUTSANG DEBORAH VOIGT in the trio. I think she will turn into a great dramatic coloratura like Dame Joan or Christina Deutekom. Can't wait to see her as both Pamina and the Queen in the same season at the Met.

[@PaulHaigh072]

Even dressed like Queen of the recycled M&S carrier bags she's exquisite. Seldom has passion enlivened Mozart like the love of this woman for his music. Remember that this acting is seen by most people from around forty foot away, and as the night is orange, green, red and black she's got to jump around to be seen.

[@jelf48]

Doch.....wunderbar, ich hab' alles genoßen!! Vielen dank.

[@GermanOperaSinger]

I think I'm going to have to start designing costumes for these operas...since these people sure aren't doing a good job.

[@mrportobello]

WOW. I have a recording of Damrau's Gilda and it is fabulous as well. This is simply fantastic.

[@LolaDelgadosingermexico]

Podrian dejar de comentar el vestuario de Diana, si parece una lechuga pues es una lechuga que canta muy pero muyyyyyyyyyyyyy bien. ES UNA REINA¡

[@yumba2006]

voice and acting impeccable thanks G.. but the folies bergeres costume !!!!!!!!!!!! for the queen of the night .... what on earth was the costume director thinking of or was it a mix up with papageno's costume ?????

[@IndigoBone]

I'll agree with the others here that this dress was quite something. But actually, I like it, well, the color anyway! (Green is my favorite color, so I am a bit biased, but it works for me.) I don't care for the headpiece in this scene, though. Wow! (I do particularly like the headpiece in the Hölle Rache scene.) It's an incredibly different look than the Royal Opera production, where she looks hideously evil (as intended by the costumer), but I kind of like it. What I found a bit hard to take was the tempo of the aria. It was so slooooooow. She still managed to sound amazing, but the tempo was just so much more appropriate during the ROH production. Overall, however, I will listen to or watch any recording of her singing this role anytime! Love her!

[@TheDingiso]

Greens of the night, queen of the broccoli, who cares. She sounds great, end of the story.

[@paddymusic]

overacting? a fantasy story? the "queen of the night" is no real person,so each performer is able to create her own "version" ..and that's a very powerful interpretation

[@killerbunny123123]

well yes the costums used for this aria are a bit...eccentrical but that doesn change that Damrau is so good! good at singing and good at acting. A coloratura like that is VERY rare.

[@elenatroncone]

WONDERFUL!What a voice!What a fantasy in her performance even in this slow tempo!GENIAL!

[@youtubechannelperson]

5:01 she has high hopes for him 😩

[@rosebulbasaur]

if anything she's a green drag queen... with a female soprano's voice... I love this production... i recognize the tenor from Candide... he's adorable! :) Diana is a wonderful colorful (in more ways than one) character as well.

[@operamad]

Diana Damrau is the best Queen of the Night. I saw her about 2 weeks ago at the Met as Pamina--also very good but I was disappointed to not see her Queen. Might go again next week when she sings Queen in the Taymor production. In the performance featured here, Paul Groves is singing Tamino. His speaking German is terrible.

[@blichilde]

Non dimentichiamo la grande interpretazione di Lucia Popp, anche lei meravigliosa come la Damrau e la Serra

[@Lilith89ibz]

You're absolutely right. Just ignore him... It makes me really sad too that she's stopped singing die Königin, but there's plenty of repertoire she can do, and I'm looking forward to her coming to Spain this April. I hope I'll be able to go and hear her sing!

[@rd9199]

Die Beste !

[@maximilianowe5506]

Badass!

[@operagirl529]

oh. my. gosh. i am absolutely in love with her voice! but what is it with the salzburg festival and weird costumes for the queen of the night? everyone i've seen by that festival is green...

[@louisxiv631]

What a delicious vegetable

[@alexmacias]

Brilliant! She's awesome!! This is exactly how I imagine Mozart wanted his Queen of the Night to be (I mean the singing and the acting, not the dress). But why did the audience respond so passively?

[@elenatroncone]

I agree witn you!You are in the right way! and me too. People who doesn't like do not understand about music..

[@talesdauphin]

I simply luv her,she is gorgeous!

[@helenhebert7127]

Stage set and costume design inspired by Star Trek, the original series. Her dress is made out of tribbles.

[@pdamiani488]

It's Veggie Tales Live!

[@mafelix]

Salad + 80's = Damrau's costume.

[@erenelagge7867]

She is the one !!!!!! Magic!

[@paddymusic]

i rode an article about the costumes and the designer of this production...he is very famous ,but i don't know his name ..the creations reminds me of the desiger yan tax

[@LuisSierra147]

Look ahead it's the broccoli queen in his broccoli world singing with the voice of a goddess. :D

[@silvr94]

she had laryngitis... and i'm pretty sure it was up to the conductor in end effect...

[@brielle8383]

Gorgeous voice, hideous costume. Very...vegetable like, truly.

[@puffsplus72]

She shines despite being Queen of the Broccoli

[@ubedajils]

El vestuario es divino, pero puede que sea más adecuado para "otra" ópera que para la indumentaria de la Reina de la Noche. Damrau, formidable.

[@VanniaF]

Why does the very beautiful Diana Damrau always end up with the hidious green outfits???

[@Neldidellavittoria]

The veggie comments are so hilarious.

[@PetraFriedPresents]

If only we could all wear acid green gowns like that! I did a production of Little Shop Of Horrors and think we used the same material for our man-eating plant. Lovely, just lovely...

[@PabloPalmeiro]

WOW! She's very, very good! Much better than many other available on DVD...

[@adrianradiotalent]

I did like this comment about a head of broccoli. But Damarau rocks it, like ever!! :D

[@KondorOtto]

@K189T hahaha the dress is like the Queen of the lettuces

[@JustinPollinger]

OH that dress!

[@helmutkratochvil3096]

Diana Damrau ist ohne Zweifel die beste Königin der Nacht seit langem. Muß man sie jedoch kleiden wie Königin vom Viktualienmarkt.

[@SabrinaTS]

Is it just me? or did they speed up the beginning of the song/piece to really fast? And HOLY SHIT!! Damrau's costume looks like it can kill the president..I mean COME ON, who comes up with those outfits. Pamina, Papageno, and Papagena had the best outfits.

[@cabaretchatnoir]

The costume is outrageous but I think the whole production is like that. I also read that Damrau was sick so that impacts her vocal quality, but still impressive.

[@joerulittlemerman]

I love her 😍😍😍

[@enriqueg.5943]

Actuacion fabulosa, vestuario horrible. Diana MARAVILLOSA!!!

[@jsixtvf]

+Enrique G. Horrible, desafina y tiene la velocidad de una tortuga

[@orfeo117]

Para APLAUDIRLA UN MES Y CUBRIRLA CON MILLONES DE FLORES!!!!!!!GRAN-DIOSA... FABULOSA....SOBERBIA....DESLUMBRANTE....FASTUOSA....!!!!!GRACIAS DIANA!!!!!!

[@salome1100]

Die Oide is a Wahnsinn, singt urguat und spielt auch noch! Das können nicht nicht viele!

[@juju1305]

That's certainly why she's a MET regular now... thank god YOU know everything about music.

[@JJmusic1915]

Wer hat das auch noch in der Schule ... ? D:

[@matteovasta5952]

Una interpretazione viva, avvincente, naturale. E’ veramente in pena!!

[@kangqin]

cauliflower dress..... no offence here. Indeed she sang incredibly good and I love this part so so much

[@dbertobis]

I like this broccoli like dress. Also the broccoli like head is not that bad. However she moves as if she was not happy with all this vegetables on her! :-)

[@jjh2456]

dbertobis you are thinking of Der Holle Rache from this production.

[@leoperarm]

Perfect!!!!!!!! I like the dress.

[@KontauriC07]

Queen of the Veggies Aria 🥬🥦🥬🥦

[@julianwidjaja]

Love her performance. But that hat makes her look like she glued her head on a cauliflower. Anyway, it's a marvelous performance.

[@fangsicong]

Diana looks much slimer than she was in 2003... I love her~~

[@jovaanni92]

The queen of the Lettuce ahahahah

[@jedavilav1]

No importaba cómo etuviera vestida, solo su voz maravillosa y su dramatismlo al actuar! DD por siempre!

[@lioneloddo]

Ce qui fait qu'elle est la plus grande, la plus magnifique, tient simplement en qu'elle assume totalement son statut de Diva.

[@Bobbyo60]

Lord...I truly love Diana Damra, but she looks like The Queen of the Vegetable Patch instead of Queen of the Night. If you look at the Covent Garden production with the sound turned off you wouldn't believe it was the same opera. What were they thinking!!

[@73efarta]

Devine!

[@breakaliciouskid786]

She had laryngitis now you cant tell me that this WASN'T AMAZING

[@Lightstrikers]

Great works of art allows for interpretation and stay relevant. Shakespear has been reinterpret just as much as the Flute. I have heard that business men read the Art of War.

[@corinniePop]

I never understand dressing the queen of the night in green. I'm honestly asking, why do costumers do this? Anybody know the answer?

[@UlfenDaddy]

LOL, yeah! Actually, it's not Broccoli but SLIME LIME. We used to paint our construction equipment an identical shade, so it could be recognized instantly. I like this though... Zauberfloete is perfect for doing this kind of weird "take" on new staging and costumes. Why should the Queen of the Night forever be stuck in basic black and spangles??? No other Queen I know (and I know a few dear Queens indeed,) would tolerate so narrow a wardrobe...

[@aramuk]

its not JUST an affro its a GREEN affro! :) ahah

[@ChuckNYC71]

The queen of the night becomes a sea sponge..

[@LemurianJones]

The Queen just back from Carnivale and didn't have time to change.

[@xav71176]

Who is the stage director ?

[@pamelademonterayalagrande7422]

Brillante
