One of my personal favorite Queens of the Night alongside Rae Woodland, Colette Lorand, Jutta Vulpius, Margareta Hallin, Cristina Deutekom, Rita Shane, Sonja Poot, Edda Moser, Zdzislawa Donat, Urszula Koszut, June Anderson, Sally Wolf, Kathleen Cassello, Hellen Kwon, Claudia Kunz, Elena Mosuc, Anna-Kristiina Kaappola, Svetlana Nikitenko, Mary Dunleavy, Klara Kolonits, Diana Damrau, Ana Durlovski, Jessica Pratt, Albina Shagimuratova, Jana Srejma Kacirkova, Hulkar Sabirova, and Kathryn Lewek.
@@spyserse2219 I prefer Geszty as she has more volume to her voice. Roberta Peters was solid but I prefer her more as Olympia, Fiakermilli, and Zerbinetta.
@@operaanimelover369 In my opinion, Gesty, Peters, and Serra are all excellent queens. They have similarities in their performance. Of course, Mimi Coertse and B Sokorska cannot be ignored. Gesty is similar to Peters, both have a darker tone. The difference is that Peters is lighter like a beautiful and dangerous snake, and Gesty is like a pica flapping its wings. Serra sings calmly, but she makes good use of her advantages. An extremely bright, sharp and hard voice, like a steel wire, enables her to create the extraordinary of the Queen of the Night without being too furious. Gruberova has a similar and same bright voice and the volume is not small, but her voice is too sweet, because the Queen of the Night is a "queen" in Mozart's repertoire. Although it requires a lot of dramatic power, I don't think it needs to be special. "Big" is particularly "fierce". This is different from the later Puccini Turandot. Otherwise, from Hempel to Koth, Erna Berger to Popp, their Queen of the Night would not be praised.
There is also a great soprano. I think I should mention her. Her name is Gisela Vivarelli. She is a very wonderful and exquisite performance. Of course, her light voice may make people feel "Dull".
Wow, that is a lot of favorites! Obviously you love this aria. I agree with many on your list. One favorite of mine is Marilyn Tyler. She sounds truly hysterical with anger, but still musical with a bright, incisive voice -- the tempo is outrageously fast, but she makes it work. th-cam.com/video/b6k6Ekx5jmA/w-d-xo.html
J ai le souvenir d une soprano lyrique a a voix chaude Helas ici un 1er air beaucoup ,beaucoup trop long et elle s essoufflé quand au 2 ème air le timbre est sec, les aigus tires, l ' allemand prête à sourire. Ce n est vraiment pas un rôle pour elle !!!!
@@Duncan456 Wash your ears or at least don't think you own the absolute truth. If the role had been perfect for her voice, she would have sung it more often. But pretend that her coloratura is horrible is a comic exageration.
Although they are not perfect, she very well conveys the rage that this aria asks for, which a lot of clock-perfect nightingales forget in favor of coloratura perfection. Do not forget is a live caption, not a studio recording.

Merveilleuse Soprano, merveilleuse voix bien claire et puissante 😊
Lyric coloratura emphasis on Lyric. She was wonderful!
Did not know her…she’s outstanding!!
Very exciting soprano.
She throws her full emotional intensity into the character.
She should be called the coloratura of bravura!

The first aria is ok, but the second one’s coloraturas are horrible… I think that this role didn’t really suit her voice.
" horrible " ! lol
Then you think wrong.

Paolo Della Corte thanks, I,think,I,see what you mean,.. though nice Grain in most coloraturas... I,got,hooked on DIANE DAMARAU, ETC. EARLY ON....
