People never understand that the Queen of the Night is just on stage for only 13 mins in the entire 3 hour opera, but for those 13 mins she steals the entire opera. Her 2 arias are 2 of the most difficult arias for a soprano to sing.

The queen of night's make-up makes her look like she's from some glam rock band

In a way, during her scenes, it's like the stage itself is part of her costume. Stand-alone it certainly sticks out. On stage though the scenes blend perfectly and are dreamlike.

Jaydoggy531 The stage IS part of her costume. There's a group of puppeteers controlling her wings in the first act.
