  • Soprano Sabine Devieilhe sings 'Der Hölle Rache', the famous Queen of the Night aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute, with Siobhan Stagg as Pamina.
    Mozart wrote Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) for a suburban theatre in Vienna, the Theater auf der Wieden. He drew on the magical spectacle and earthy comedy of popular Viennese theatre. As well as being a comedy, The Magic Flute is an expression of Mozart’s profound spiritual beliefs: Enlightenment concerns with the search for wisdom and virtue are at the heart of this enchanting tale. The Magic Flute was an instant success with audiences and Mozart’s supposed rival Salieri described it as an ‘operone’ - a great opera.
    David McVicar’s classic production embraces both the seriousness and comedy of Mozart’s work. The audience is transported to a fantastical world of dancing animals, flying machines and dazzlingly starry skies. The setting provides a wonderful backdrop for Mozart’s kaleidoscopic score, from the Queen of the Night’s coloratura fireworks to Tamino and Pamina’s lyrical love duets and Papageno’s hearty, folksong-like arias.

      The libretto is from Emanuel Schikaneder. Mozart made it perfect with his composition.

    To perform this aria is unearthly, but to add the dynamics blows my mind. The pianissimo had me astonished. Excellent. Maybe it doesn't go with the character or the aria istelf but there is no way one doesn't appreciate the magnitude of her skill.

    • @Bacchusmbt
      @Bacchusmbt 7 месяцев назад +7

      I think the dynamic variation as sung in this video is a valid interpretation demonstrating a Queen that is perhaps more sensitive, introspective and even saddened by the ultimatum she is giving her daughter. It’s stunning, I never thought the aria could be vocalized in this manner.

      You know, it's funny. To me it sounds too *fast* even though it's quite a bit slower than most performances. I think she may have picked this tempo to try to compensate for the light tambour of her voice. Slow is much more impressive than fast, but despite the heroic effort it wasn't quite successful.

    I do prefer previous performer too, its not the voice, its the insane acting ability COMBINED with the malice in the aria... but I will give Sabine time, but I can't help compare her with my favorite.
    Which is unfortunate as I am an actress, and it is intimidating AF to follow in a role that is so iconic, that it almost feels like youre the understudy even if the role is now yours.

    A very strong and powerful performance of this aria. Beautiful and dynamic. It comes (almost) up to my personal favorite: ruclips.net/video/pDUyA-fVie8/видео.htmlsi=K8Opn-69V1fA9ENB
    Hear how Lucia Popp simply dances ballet up on the brightest notes, where many others have to make more or less effort to reach the top. Sabine Devieilhe is on the same level as Lucia Popp here.

    Magnifica voce, ma le manca la potenza quasi rabbiosa di Diana Damrau, per me ancora la più spettacolare. Tremenda e terribile anche nello sguardo, il bel viso stravolto dalla cattiveria della spaventosa regina, la signora Damrau ha fatto suo il personaggio in modo ineguagliabile.

Yes Sabine is very good and clear with the pronunciation, and her diction is really good but but personally at times the intonation wasn’t that good, and she was quite aggressive at one point when on the bed with her daughter, she went quite sharp at times, but it was a good rendition
