Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Queen of the Night
from Opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), K. 620

The singing soprano is Diana Damrau, one of the most sensational opera singers to emerge in the past decade. She has a sparkling voice that exudes personality, and her technique is so secure that she can concentrate her talents into bringing out a character's dramatic nuances. In Mozart's operas, she has already sung Kostanze in the Entführung aus dem Serail, Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro, Servillia in La Clemenza di Tito and Fauno in Ascanio in Alba. She has also assayed the lead roles in Donizetti's Don Pasquale and L'Elisir d'Amore, Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Salieri's Europa Riconosciuta and Strauss's Die Ägyptische Helena, Ariadne auf Naxos, Arabella and Der Rosenkavalier. While she is an outstanding and endearing presence in all these operas, the role where she remains nonpareil is as the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte, K. 620).

No other soprano, not even those legendary singers that include Lucia Popp, Roberta Peters, Luciana Serra or Sumi Jo, have mastered the role's technical and dramatic demands the way Damrau has in the past decade or so that she has been singing this extremely complex character. In the ten minutes that she is onstage, she breathes so much life into the Queen that she can save a performance from mediocrity.

Mrs. Damrau retired this singing part in 2006. Most opera stars sing the role and then put it away forever because it's so hard on the voice. Well, those are High Fs. A lot of them.
