Soprano Diana Damrau sings 'Der Hölle Rache', the famous Queen of the Night aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute, with Dorothea Röschmann as Pamina. Find out more at https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-events/the-magic-flute-by-david-mcvicar-details

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.


Soprano: Cristina Deutekom, como La reina de la noche (Königin der Nacht).
La flauta mágica (Die Zauberlöte).
Película dirigida por Peter Ustinov. 1971
Orquesta filarmónica del estado de Hamburgo.
Director, Horst Stein.

El papel de la Reina de la Noche debería cantarlo, en mi opinión, una soprano dramática de coloratura y no una ligera o lírico ligera. Es un personaje poderoso, autoritario e influyente que requiere ese dramatismo, perdido hoy en día con la moda de las cantantes ligeras; y al mismo tiempo debe tener agilidad para llegar a las notas sobreagudas, como el Fa que he señalado en la partitura. Deutekom cumple bien su papel, como también Edita Gruberoba.
