Kristen Chenoweth does it better

perfecta!

Unvergleichlich... fantastisch 💞

The role was composed for the South African colerature sopprano Mimi Coertze. Coertze sang the Queen of the night more than 500 times, mostly at La Scala. Coertze had the technique to take that high note an vuma out that vibrato. Good performance by Dumrau.

Divina Me encantaría escucharla en vivo alguna ves ❤

5:13 - putting this time stamp here for anybody who is going through a tough day or a week because this can totally pick you up 😊

maravillosos

Damrau always appears to be enjoying herself, even in tragic roles.

Very Wonderful Voice!

QUEEN 💖

That f6 was perfect

She sings the way Natalie does to this aria Is she a fan of Dessay?

Kristen chenoweth is better singer and actriss

Ooh, I like her smile at 3:12

Обожаю!! 😻💥🔥🔥🔥

Glitter and Be Gayyyyy

People below make unwarrented comments on her acting. This is a concert performance not a staged play. She captures perfectly the conflict of Cunegonde who is tempted to give up her true self for the venal temptaions of wealth and fame. What more can we ask than this conflict be presented in the performance which Damrau does .

Is that a microphone over her right ear? Gack!

that laugh at the end ya'll

insupportable de cabotinage!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙💜💛❤️

Fantasy y desay son las mejores en interpretar está aria oblieza musical dificilísima para cualquier soprano

QUEEN. She makes it look so easy...

omfg

In this way she reminds me much of meryl streep, whish they do smt together

Say what you will about her acting, you could see that she was having an insane amount of fun, and that, to me, makes it so much fun to watch

Love you bb

The best soprano over all with the most powerful voice

Now that is how a diva does it!!!!!

Oh Damrau... she used to be this thin.. and her high notes used to be this good, powerful and strong.. what has happened to her?

natalie dessay and diana damrau are assets and good examples for new generations sopranos

Funny, I read all these comments about who is better, Damray or Dessay.. a veritable Double D battle. and yet, as of August 2017 only of these esteemed ladies can actually still sing this aria.

All because of Jewelry ( Shaking head ) Who's superficial now Lady's ????? ( Joking )

Great performance. But IMO the best performer of this aria is Dessay

The best version. Queen of Opera

Glitter and be gay, That's the part I play; Here I am in Paris, France, Forced to bend my soul To a sordid role, Victimized by bitter, bitter circumstance. Alas for me! Had I remained Beside my lady mother, My virtue had remained unstained Until my maiden hand was gained By some Grand Duke or other. Ah, 'twas not to be; Harsh necessity Brought me to this gilded cage. Born to higher things, Here I droop my wings, Ah! Singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage. And yet of course I rather like to revel, I have no strong objection to champagne, My wardrobe is expensive as the devil, Perhaps it is ignoble to complain... Enough, enough Of being basely tearful! I'll show my noble stuff By being bright and cheerful! Pearls and ruby rings... Ah, how can worldly things Take the place of honor lost? Can they compensate For my fallen state, Purchased as they were at such an awful cost? Bracelets...lavalieres Can they dry my tears? Can they blind my eyes to shame? Can the brightest brooch Shield me from reproach? Can the purest diamond purify my name? And yet of course these trinkets are endearing, I'm oh, so glad my sapphire is a star, I rather like a twenty-carat earring, If I'm not pure, at least my jewels are! Enough! Enough! I'll take their diamond necklace And show my noble stuff By being gay and reckless! Observe how bravely I conceal The dreadful, dreadful shame I feel.

C'est en la voyant que j'ai compris ce que signifiait le mot diva et la fascination qui lui est associée.

This woman is amazing!

She's the absolute best that I know>

Simply amazing!!!

Her acting freaks me out, but her singing is untouched.

dear paul have you listen the quality and the high of the voice of diana?? dessay is good but diana is great. that's the difference.

Sorry Diana, but you are a copycat... This is a cheap copy of Natalie Dessay's version of Glitter and be gay of 1997. All that acting, the High F and the last A flat screaming were added by Dessay in that performance. Shame on you!

Amazing voice (admittedly better than Chenoweth, whom I adore), but I feel the acting was interpreted way to literally. It would be, IMHO, a bad performance in the context of the satire; I would opt to see Chenoweth any day if it were staged. Still Damrau has the powerhouse vocals, and still makes an exceptional performance for this piece.

A true amazing voice and performance.

chenoweth is a comedian with an ok voice. diana damraus rendition and acting is on a higher level plus she has the voice.

Diana is QUEEN.

fantastica, la mejor

I feel bad about beeing German now...

Exactly what I thought when I saw this. LOl!
