I think that we all need to gradually come to accept that Mozart probably did not have Edda Moser in mind when he composed this. Agility, precision and range were clearly what he favoured in his high-pitched, agile sopranos, and the qualities he exploited in most of his prima donnas from Mitridate and Lucio Silla to Die Zauberflöte. When he wanted a big, dramatic voice, he wrote for it: e.g. Electra in Idomeneo and Vitellia in La Clemenza di Tito. Indeed, the ‘prettiness’ of the melodies given to the Queen may have been an intentional effect, highlighting her seductive deceit and cold intentions. A light voice works perfectly well for the Queen, and often much better than a singer with a deeper voice made to strain and screech. See what happened to Damrau’s voice - impactful performance, bad technique, short-lived voice. Not to mention that current perceptions about the “Dramatic” and what it looks/sounds like cannot be assumed to not have been influenced by tendencies developed in the 19th and 20th centuries. This is not to say that Moser and Damrau are not fine too, but that standards should perhaps be better placed on technical ability rather than just the colour of a singer’s voice.

This is one of the most accurate and clear versions I've heard of this aria, she's exceptionally good. Sometimes precision can be as intense as sheer volume. She lives it too, which helps. Brava!

Basilique is a place where romans used to gather around, for social events (non related to religion), when Christianity came they have to use these places as religious places to gather people, so no, it was not build in original idea as a place for god, so shut up your mouth ignorant.

I know this opera was not written for ordinary people like me, but hey, times have changed :) I have an opinion after tasting this performance over and over. I also listened and compared with all other performances of this part in You tube and found Pauline's is the very best and captured me in the scene, even tough she performed this part only. I felt like the Queen portrayed as a jealous and narcissistic character in the opera which seems not quite match of Pauline's jests and look, that is the only part I felt bit off but when I closed my eyes I was in the scene, feeling the wrath of the queen as she was mother. Thank you Ma'am.

OMG, some of you here are insufferable. Her voice is incredibly clear, the agility is here, certainly could use slightly more work but this aria is very difficult and any singer struggles to sing it. Also who the hell cares it's for "dramatic" soprano? So what? It is forbidden for any light soprano to perform it? We are gatekeeping arias now? Stop it. That performance was beautiful.
@annereilley48923 ай бұрын
I thought music was based on vocal range. If you have the range to sing something, then go for it. But I don't think someone who sings baritone is going to attempt something composed for counter-tenor, not because someone is gate keeping it.

Lots of talent and potential and even though maybe the voice still has to mature a little bit, this performance was very musical. Queen of the night is quite a complex character and it takes many years to get that complexity under your belt, but the potential is there, Keep working at it and you will grow into the role. Brava. Keep going and believe in yourself, you'll be great.
