[@arnaudrcs]

she is perfect for this role... i don't know if the wind with the scarf was accidental but it was perfect!

[@talitasofijakomelj9730]

Yes, it really was! :)

[@brunasortino2836]

Mozart would rejoice and ask for an encore of this. Perfect! She's the best queen ever! Her facial expressions, the wind here, her acting, her eyes at the end...wow! Everything is top notch perfect! Not to mention that breathtaking gorgeous voice. Bravíssima, Mrs. Damrau! :)

[@Sk8erMonkey]

i loved how she got quiet at the end of the 2nd staccato section, i love how you see the fury in her eyes, i love how she growled at the end. I loved this performance period. Diana Damrau truly is The Queen of the Night.

[@MrSwifts31]

She certainly has to be the greatest Queen of the Night of the 21stC(yet!)

[@DollsAndSpooks]

This is why she is my favorite queen of the night. This song must be sung as if you're unleashing the gates of hell with all your hatred and fury.

[@LostAndEaten]

I think the wind was trying to join in, but eventually gave up to her awesomeness.

[@rachelberrythegleequeen.3221]

Mrs. Damrau is the best coloratura soprano I have ever heard and her performence of this aria is both brethtaking and powerful as well as beautiful.

[@F-Man]

I'm pretty sure Mozart himself would have screamed for an encore.

[@Daneyule]

Truth!!!!!

[@franciscochaeremon7792]

Ferrariman601 He just did, he also had laryngitis from too much screaming. That lady, Madame Damrau, is EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL.

[@talitasofijakomelj9730]

Wonderful! I love the moment when her dark evening shawl is ˝dancing˝ in the wind. (0.26 min - 0.35 min). It really matches the character of this aria. Amazing sung! I love it.

[@epicbazinga]

She transform yourself to sing this Aria. Diana is so sweet and humble. Then she opens her mouth and the wind get crazy like us.

[@florisv559]

Wow! There should be a Love button as well, Like is just not strong enough. Great acting, you feel all the fury, stunning act.

[@MikeHortonJohnMorrisSingers]

Pure vocal and musical perfection...Diana Damrau sets the gold standard for this role. I am virtually speechless she is so amazing!

[@81114432]

Perfect!!! She is my favorite opera singer!!! I've nevee heard someone singing Der Holle Rache as perfect as she does.... Diva .... A melhor de todas :)

[@bigleg_]

My goodness... She is just so fantastic

[@orewa14]

It doesn't get any better than this...stunning performance, stunning soprano, history will record Diana Damrau as an ATG ( all time great ) coloratura soprano.

[@Sowoidnich]

Indeed!! Even in front of my PC I was soo scared...Her queen at covent garden was the best I ever have seen or heared!!

[@jackpoint188]

Its like her emotions merge with her singing technique. So naturally expressive.

[@imfildza2452]

Diana Damrau FOREVER!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

[@aldantan1989]

This is HER role! Wonderful performance.

[@amfau79]

She is absolutely perfect!, amazing! bravissima!

[@briandstewart]

I have often created in my artistic mind how I thought this aria, ideally, could and should be performed. I never in my lifetime expected to hear and see a performer with the right combination of vocal security and comprehension of effective, believable acting bring that concept into reality. I was wrong! Bravissima, Damrau! Mille, mille grazie!!

[@andara1987]

I love the way she dedicates her whole self to this role. And how the wind goes through her dress at the beginning, quite frightening.

[@Maranedy]

I gotta say, I love her R's on this one...

[@jmahrky]

talk about out of this world, the character through out the whole song is just phenomenal, the intensity and feeling was incredible. i would hate to make that woman mad:)

[@AsksOneThing]

DAMN!! Just when I think she could not get any more fabulous I see something like this! Vocally amazing of course, but SO well acted, just from the face alone. Not many singers can do a character that well standing in one place. And having the high wind and her scarf blowing everywhere didn't faze her a bit, she just dealt with it. BRAVISSISSIMA DIVA!!!

[@XianHaos]

GIRRRRL!! Still as fierce as ever! even in the wind... she makes it enhance her performance!

[@bcbabbles]

The entire time I felt as though she was working some kind of magic.

[@lowemgrim]

No words for this. Just the best ever.

[@PhilippaMusician]

I love her professionalism! That takes some doing in bad weather. What a star....

[@brunopiccinin]

She really impersonated Der Königin der Nacht. Amazing!

[@bcbabbles]

This performance says, "I am Queen! Know my power and be very afraid!"

[@Levicorpus22]

she was born to sing that song! BRAVISIMA!!

[@xxchiefaustinxx]

Damrau is perfect for the role of the queen of the night. she sings amazingly and can act the part of the phycotic queen mother.

[@ChristynH]

My jaw drops, my eyes widen. She embodies this song as if it were written for her - about her - with her in mind! She is legendary and an inspiration to artists of all kinds.

[@rorymarie32]

What a wonderful performance by Diana! Mozart would be proud. Bravo!! :-)

[@FarinelliNBG]

OMG!!!!! This cant be true... it´s so perfect. Her Voice, Her rage, her Dress... and the the wind. OMG, it´s just like she the "real" Queen of the Night. This performance was not from this earth. DIANA I LOVE YOU!!! I´m soooo out of breath. BRAVA!!!! Shes the Godness of Music.

[@Jolene8]

Still an amazing performance!

[@Sowoidnich]

she isn't acting the queen of the night....she IS the queen of the night...!

[@SsteinwayS]

OMG me too! What happened? She's still doing it and amazing! She never should have retired it!!

[@weremyjiggins]

Say what you will about Sumi Jo and others, but none have the power and spirit of performance like Diana Damrau. Her sound is exquisite and her technique and ability to emulate the character with such brilliance, there has been no other performance I have seen of this caliber.

[@liricobarroco]

she the best queen of the night ever!!! I love her voice!

[@misa2420]

I love this presentation. Even the wind made its part 🖤🌌

[@OperaLover84]

Oh the wind blowing adds such a nice touch!!

[@stasa-X]

She Is very good for this role,not only for her voice skills but also for her acting. She became a perfect queen of the night,i saw her performance in KZbin of course and she was much better and much scariest than this. She is a very good singer and i wish to see her live someday. Μπράβο!!!!

[@cvonbarron]

No one living can Diana Damrau as The Queen of the Night. No one

[@baritonebynight]

Definately my favorite Queen who is currently singing the role!

[@Intervain]

she's got the fierceness of the Queen that's rarely there in other performers - the best Queen of the Night

[@thornolie]

Out of this world!!

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

If not the best Queen of the Night, one of the bestEST ever! I shall add, a superfial fact, but... her gown was perfect for the performance :D!!!

[@Tagil1942]

Прекрасное исполнение !!!

[@Georgiancorner]

She's the most beautiful German woman I have ever seen! And the voice is just amazing! La Divina of 21th century!!

[@pryvtedncr]

Is it me or did she seem to conjure the wind when she began singing? Absolutely amazing. The marriage of a fantastic instrument and a fantastic actress. Brava divina!!

[@MisterSoprano]

Outstanding! Fantastic acting!

[@aleduffoo]

this woman is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! she's the best queen of the night ever! WITHOUT A DOUBT.. I adore her!!! BRAVA DAMRAU!

[@stal1ng]

no one rocks Der Holle Rache like Diana Damrau.

[@Beatrycia]

Love this voice !!

[@user-yk8vs5qd2i]

Best opera singer for me

[@damfanrau]

As usual she is applauded by the musicians as much as the audience

[@cvonbarron]

I agree no one can touch Diana Damrau especially in this role.

[@mariokalogeropoulos]

simply AMAZING!!! Bravissima!!!

[@damfanrau]

lo mas valioso de Diana es que todo lo que canta ,lo saca desde las tripas,nunca hace nada "pour la gallerie". creo que la palabra"artista" no le corresponde a mucha gente hoy en dia, pero Diana es una de las pocas. cada vez que la veo , no la veo a ella sino a lo q esta representando.

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

My fav is Diana's but Lucia Popp's is the most fearful i've ever listened; her high F's are so.... "easy"... breath-taking X)!

[@vojtechcermak5770]

She is Just amazing!! As Singer and As actress

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

Totally agree; specially since everybody has a different colour. N. Dessay's interpretation is more like a kind mother who's desperate and terribly sad; it has its charming!!

[@leylakarinasar3826]

Simply wonderful!!! 😍👌

[@fantedipicche]

the best queen's of the night performer at this moment!

[@thomasborgsmidt304]

She scares the shit out of me - every time! The wind does only add to the horror. So young fellas..... stay single.... play with something reliable and innocent - nitroglycerin f.i. What really makes me clench the chair are those steel blue eyes - especially as she halfcloses the right and crosses them! Have merci, Mary Mother of God!

[@didijaku]

Her voice is addicting.

[@ThatGuy001]

the wind even agrees that this is her moment!

[@tornflyer]

She rocks !

[@leoperarm]

OMG!!! She's the best!!!

[@mabemawi]

Empress of Queens.

[@shrekinasuit]

@RafinhaAugusto Thank you! So I'm not the only one thinking this!

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

After listening some other version I think this is not the best (technically) singing for the aria... Moser is lovely. BUT for me Diana IS the queen, you cannot deny all the fury and rage is there in her voice, in her eyes, in her body.... For me, she's the best queen ever listened -for me- not just 'coz of the voice but the attitude!!! I would cry if i were Pamina D:!

[@priscilamesaglio7946]

She's THE BEST.

[@TheAudimike]

Elle est une super actrice !!!

[@acanthe83]

Incroyable !

[@arisargiris]

Phenomenal!!!! Bravo!!!!!

[@magroolhosazuis]

Wonderful... BRAVA!!!!!

[@ghtsw11]

@briandstewart Sorry, only just saw this comment. Absolutely spot-on. Everything seems exactly as it should be - even on a cold Welsh afternoon/evening - simply wonderful.

[@Lokisdaughter4]

the wind just made it more epic

[@mariokalogeropoulos]

BRAVISSIMA!

[@damfanrau]

nobody in the universe is able to ask the Gods to hear like she does...

[@TheFockz]

She was bien to play that character. Amazinv!

[@shaylybri]

LOVE THE FAN.

[@veeerooniicaaa]

Fantastica !

[@Maranedy]

wow... she's superbly fantastic! gah...

[@edengirl17]

She is amazing!!!*claps*

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

They give them power doesn't they!? :D i love the end.

[@jimdubya5425]

Wow, what a great performance. She obviously loves this piece, and she sings it to perfection... quibbling over miniscule pronunciation issues aside. Such passion!! That's why this is so great - because she loves it! She's so beautiful too. Now THAT'S sexy.

[@MarsTerrible]

braaaaavooooo!!!!

[@BellaFirenze]

Bravissima!

[@Tagil1942]

Молодец !!!

[@agominator]

@caravaggio31 have you heard epica, tarja, therion, or such bands??? they all have very good female singers

[@manwaripolo]

Amen Brother !

[@dimbill8]

when the she finished singing i was looking for my jaw somewhere on the floor! :----(======)

[@elvagounmsm]

I would like to be there..

[@EFIG6415]

Does anyone know the year of this festival I want to buy it on cod or blue ray

[@baritonebynight]

@EdenVandeCamp Some people like tacos, other people like burritos. Some like Jo, others like Damrau. Both very accomplished singers. I prefer tacos and Damrau, but I'd gladly pay to hear either sing the role. Best wishes with your burritos.

[@Ivanbelastegui]

@oneworldguy Hey! I was going to add the same comment, and since I could not express it better in english (I´m spanish), I totally agree with you!
