Steampunk Magic Flute - Queen of the Night 2nd Act Aria

Steampunk meets Mozart in this 2016 production of The Magic Flute. Holly Flack performs the 2nd act Queen of the Night aria.

[@petermichael9378]

this kind of singing makes opera exciting again absolutely wonderful

[@user-ic4ce8xb5v]

she sang this very well. these comments are sooo off. you can dislike the production but the singer DELIVERED

[@ianmcdonald5393]

Really interesting take - and as far as I am aware, entirely in line with 18th and 19th century performance practice (including to embellish and alter the vocal line).

[@azucenathegysy]

That's a new take on the aria the queen of the night sings and I love it!!!!!!

[@thesupremegenius]

I witnessed Holly perform this in, I believe, 2016 at the Reinecke Fine Arts Center in Fargo. An audible intake of air by the packed house when she hit those first ultra high notes - she is Omnificent

[@mapleext]

First time I’ve seen the mom lovingly finger the blade like that as she sings those phrases! Yes, those extra high notes were probably sometimes done in the day - if you can nail that pitch! I rather like dark costumes for this, but can’t fault her.

[@d.j.rosscarpediem921]

Never heard this variation of the aria. Well done. Missed however the more dramatic vibrato in the voice.

[@jennifercoopman]

Great job, especially on the upbeat 16ths and triplets! And the acting, with the knife during the triplets, i love it when the singer brings in little pieces of personality like that. Thanks for posting!

[@neltonslittlesibling2880]

It's the first time I've heard it with translated lyrics. Overall an interesting performance.

Fantastic Voice and Character Portrayal. BRAVO! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Whoa! That queen killed it! At the end, that extra- high note and the fist? Damn! And I'd love to see the entire opera to get the full 'steam punk' vibe. Well done!

Totalmente diferente Original y °^G_R_A_N_D_IO_S_A^° , felicidades , sobre todo por su COLORATURA bien propia y particular de ella , ya no existen DIVAS que marquen pauta y escuela como la voz bien °^P_R_O_F_E_S_I'O_N_A_L°^ de esta dama de la noche

[@user-gt7xs1fc6g]

My guess is that Mozart would have loved this as it is both innovative and accessible while being faithful to his ideas and music.

[@elizaluilee8781]

I think Mozart loves it … totally agree with you … I just love this White Queen and her high notes …marvellous…

[@Bacchusmbt]

BRAVAAAA! Interpolated high notes on the QotN aria? WOW!!

[@alissonoliveira7960]

Wow, that woman can sing, man...

[@polzinger]

What a smashing performance. I’m not normally keen on coloratura, but this is fantastic! Well done!

[@brunom72]

How does this not have a million+ views ?!? She is AH MAZE ING !

[@73malaki]

However improvised ... That no mozarts notation However; It was good!

[@danielmayers3939]

This version is heaven I just loved it , and the fact that new high notes have been added just shocks me , I'm a lover of opera world , and as a follower of this entire universe for some good years... I can tell you that this is just AMAZING!!! 😮 Everyone envolved deserves the crédits and the singer omg she is the music , the movements everything she is all , remember when Mozart created it he has the clearly idea that it needed to sound like something unhuman , so I'm pretty sure he is very pround of their job here!!! 🎉🎉 The idea used was realy creative and the creativity is the salvation of mankind at least for me!!! ❤❤❤

[@valeriomessersi1016]

Зачем?!

[@leoperarm]

Was that really necessary ?

[@Mistyeyez2024]

I don't like this rendition. The costumes don't fit the characters correctly, it's not in its original language (German), and there are added notes that were very unnecessary.

[@nrm224]

Well. This is a thing that happened. She can sing, yes. But they were so worried about whether she could sing that they forgot to ask if she should sing.

[@angharaddenby3389]

Holly Flack is a great singer - but certainly not on a par with Diana Damrau.

​@@ikramMonicahow do you know? I am professionally engaged in vocals. I don't like the way the vocalist sings

[@izzyricks427]

I hate when singers don't stick what was originally written in the score. Stop trying to show of your out of tune high notes. It's unprofessional and not stylistic.

Very good ! Do not try interpolating those extra notes. It does not improve you. You are already very good.

This is an aberration. Someone altered the music so this is all crap.
