What do you do after a long day...?

…why, you listen to the Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute, that’s what (and I’m not even an opera nut). I found this wonderful video by a lady analyzing three of the greatest coloratura sopranos and how they approached this aria: Edita Gruberova, Lucia Popp, and (may fave) Dianna Damrau… have fun, because these ladies can SING (and note, they don’t even have to swallow a microphone and scream into it to be heard):

Pleasantly surprised.
Never would have thought, I’d appreciate Opera.
OTT! [Over The Top]
Outstanding commentary.

Thanks for the link!

This was fun and had me going to some other “reactions” on UTube.

Dr. Farrell I was just listening to this today. If you ever saw the movie The 5th Element then this will sound familiar.

I like both Lucia Popp and Dianna Damrau.

or this one…

or…for all …

аnd for the soul…

Thank you. I will have a listen.

Yoko Ono’s audition? Note, I didn’t film this!

Better. A lot Better, and Beautiful but Sad.

Even more so as this performance was a ‘Summer Night Concert 2019’.
