    Lyrics:
    Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
    Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
    Fühlt nicht durch dich Sarastro
    Todesschmerzen,
    So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr.
    Verstossen sei auf ewig,
    Verlassen sei auf ewig,
    Zertrümmert sei'n auf ewig
    Alle Bande der Natur
    Wenn nicht durch dich!
    Sarastro wird erblassen!
    Hört, Rachegötter,
    Hört der Mutter Schwur!

    Some of these comments are confusing the facts. Mozart wrote this aria for his sister-in-law Josefa Hofer to show off her incredible range. In a completely different opera, Cosi fan tutte, he wrote the aria "Come scoglio" for Adriana Ferrarese, his librettist's mistress, whom he hated. He knew that she dropped her chin on low notes and threw her head back on high notes, so he composed "Come scoglio" to jump between high and low notes, leaving her "looking like a pecking chicken" on stage.
    But this aria was meant to show the world how amazing his sis-in-law was.

    Those soprano notes are terrifying because they're the Queen's evil laughter, delighted by her own plot to have her own daughter kill Sarastro, her own daughter who if she did not comply, would be cursed by the Night Queen for all eternity.

    • @schubertuk
      @schubertuk 3 года назад +16

      Spot on - people forget that Mozart was drawn to the story, the libretto and the lyrics - and this music only works with the words being sung. The music by itself has no horror, the idea of what this queen communicates - what she is prepared to do to her daughter... Then the emotions pour through in a way that is difficult to describe, but heavenly to experience.

    • @antoinelacoste930
      @antoinelacoste930 3 года назад +10

      It's actually not evil laughter but is more recognized as the stabbing. Because not only she orders Pamina to kill Sarastro, but she hands her the athame to stab him.

    • @MrEricW2008
      @MrEricW2008 Год назад +2

      well its even more terrifying that Sarastro set the entire thing in motion - on purpose? Why did he kidnap Pamina- for her sake, or his? Did he need to enrage the Queen of the Night and put her at odds with Pamina- so he could get 2 politically powerful recruits (Tamino being the other one)? (......

    It's terrifying because of the high notes the soprano has to hit, rather than the tune itself. And, IMO, Diana Damrau is one who nailed it over more than 20 appearances as the Queen of The Night. Small fact: QOTN is also a magnificently perfumed flower, aka Night-Scented Jessamine (Cestrum nocturnum) and a noxious weed in Australia.

      That’s actually wrong and constantly repeated but go off I guess...
      It wasn’t his sister-in-law (Sophie Weber) but Adriana Ferrarese that he hated. He wrote Der Hölle Rache to showcase Weber’s immense skill/comfort in high tessitura pieces (she was well receive as the Queen of the Night FYI) and he wrote COME SCOGLIO from Cosi Fan Tutte for Ferrarese because of the repetitive shifts from low notes to high notes. Apparently taking great pleasure from the fact she dropped her jaw on low notes and threw her head back for high notes thus resulting in her head bobbing like a chicken during that bravura aria.

    I splurged several years ago and attended a concert at the Vienna Musikverein. One of the pieces chosen to be sung by the rotating cast of singers was the Queen of the Night aria. I knew the piece going in and the singer did not disappoint. If I recall, they did not use an electronic sound system; rather the singers relied on their voices and the acoustics to carry the sound. I gave the lady a standing ovation.
    My favorite version online is by Diana Damrau.

      I think most skilled pianists could play t easily. Singing it is another thing, however this song actually isn’t even close to the hardest soprano aria out there, in fact it’s not even the hardest one for this role in this opera. Not to make it sound easy or anything, but you would probably be shocked at just how freakishly high a trained soprano can sing. Some of them go well into whistle tone with ease.

Other arias in die Zauberflöte were less complex to fit the abilities of the author of the Libretto Emanuel Schikaneder who plays Papageno. (By less complex I don’t mean easy just not near as difficult as the Queen of the Night)

    Nah, I think Lacrimosa is his most terrifying. It's just so haunting...
    Mozart wrote Lacrimosa on his deathbed. He never completely finished it and passed the work down to one of his pupils.
    It still has a grand, epic scale to it, but not nearly as grand as all his other songs.
    Lacrimosa was _meant_ to be death itself. The word 'Lacrimosa' translates to 'weeping' in English.
    I find the music itself and the fact that it was written in part by a dying man much more scarier than just a fictional story and a creepy sounding note.

    I had heard "The Queen of the Night's aria" this many times before I got round to going to see "The Magic Flute" and thought it possibly the most beautiful thing ever written for the human voice.
    SPOILER WARNING!
    My German isn't good enough to follow the words (and very few people could sing this so as to make them audible anyway) So it wasn't until I did finally get round to watching a live performance of the opera (a brilliant ENO production at the London Coliseum) that I found out what the words mean - and was deeply horrified.
    I'm not going to write it down what the Queen of the Night is singing in case anyone reads this who intends to go and see "The Magic Flute" at some stage and has somehow managed to avoid having the plot spoiled for them already. Some of the other people who have posted comments obviously assume anyone interested already knows because they have posted explanations which in my opinion are a spoiler for the opera.
    All I will write here is that when you find out what the Queen of the Night is singing, in context, it is very scary indeed.
    Though it's funny rather than scary when Bibble sings it in the Barbie film "Mermadia" as Zarico rightly points out below.t.

    is it me or is mozarts music completely unique and incredibly "organic" for lack of a better way to describe his sublime talent. by far my favorite composer of all. every single little thing he ever did was magic.

    Actually the facts that more scare me is that for mozat, rage is like a positive energic feeling that a negative energetic feeling (for example, when you recive a gift you are normally happy and excited, but then if the gift cause you to rage, then you are upset and wants to destriy something but in both feeling you feel with energic) like if in reality when you are in fury you can have pleasure from that.
