It was written by by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. During this piecethe Queen tells her daughter to kill the man she loves because the queen does not like him and does not want to do it herself. While listening to Queen of the Night Aria I noticed that the piece is in German. Also, the pitch was extremely high during the solo,so high that not many people can possibly sing the part. Next, the queen had to sing very loudly because there was no microphone being used. Lastly, the Queen sang with an orchestra. I did not like this piece because it was too high and too loud to enjoy. At times it bothered my ears because I was not used to hearing such a high pitch. I would not recomend this piece to anyone.

This was an opera that was written by Mozart. In the beginning of this play, Pamina's mother, the Queen of rhw Night, also the lady that was singing, told Pamina that she had to kill Sarasto. Then, she started singing. The lady that was the Queen of the Night has one of the 12 highest voices in the world. While listening to this piece, I heard someone singing extremely loud and extremely high. I also realized that when the notes go higher, her voice gets louder, and when the notes get lower, her voice gets lower. Her voice almost sounds like a flute, and and the notes she sang were held out very long. She doesnt move, except for her mouth and her diaphram when she sang. When we first started listening to this piece, I got a headache. Her voice was almost piercing, and I thought it was too high for a human to attempt to sing. It almost felt like it was too powerful and strong, because I think operas are supposed to be beautiful and soft.

This piece was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Queen of the Night Aria is also in German. The Queen of the Night (soprano) sings this song, and she is telling her daughter Pamina to kill her husband.She is able to sing very high, and her voice has an amazing range. There is also an orchestra playing with her, so you can here violins and cellos. I thought opera was supposed to be boring adn un-exciting, but i was definately wrong. Although I am not an opera fan, I did enjoy this piece. I thought it was well written and entertaining.

Queen of the Night Aria, was written by wolfgang amadeus mozart. he was a famous composer and musicion of the mid to late 1700's. this song is from mozarts famous play "the magic flute". this song was originally written for a soprano. this song was written in an extremely high pitch. the opera singer must've had to train intensivly for this song so she could hit the high notes. i couldnt imagine any guy i know even trying to sing this... unless of course they were a constrati. i've always thought of opera as... boring, non-motivative, and just down right stupid. but after hearing this AMAZING song, i want to go see this play ASAP. i will literally spend my lifes savings to see this.

In the piece there is a small orchestra playing as the queen sings in german and hits ridiculously high notes throughout the piece. I appreciate how amazing it is that anyone can hit notes as loudly and clearly as done in this song, I enjoyed the tune the intruments were playing and I did not dislike the melody, but I would not listen to it by free will as it is not my style.

This opera was written in German by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This song is the Queen of the Night telling her daughter Pamina that she wants her to kill the man she loves with the knife that she received. Pamina does not want to (obviously) so the Queen of the Night threatens to disown Pamina if she does not complete the task. In this piece I heard a full orchestra playing as well as a woman singing in soprano. The notes this woman reached were extremely high and the best part was that she did not even use a microphone. Before I listened to this song I absolutely hated opera. Now after listening to this song, I still hate opera but I have learned to appreciate what these people do which is singing without a microphone. Even so, I still think that it is amazing that that lady could sing so high! O weh, die Konigin der Nacht is a song from the opera The Magic Flute.

The voices are very high in this song ( opera). and the queen's chest moves a lot from using her diagram to sing. I liked this song a lot! i was impressed she could sing that high. I was also impressed she didn't use a mic. the song is very upbeat but dark and angry at the same time. operas are usually boring but this one wasn't that bad!

She Also sang so loud it sounded like she could crack glass. She kept on going up and down on the notes. I can not believe someone can sing that high. It seems impossible.
