Also das ist eine der besten, sogar die beste Vorstellung, die ich bis jetzt gehört habe. It's one of the most beautiful performances, of that aria I've ever heard.
Astounding....AND manages to convey the fire and wrath of the Queen herself. So many do not and simply sing the notes. Elena Mosuc is credible in this most difficult and exposed of coloratura arias. Well done!
This is a very successful soprano at the ZOH, who has sung this role countless times superbly. Might not have been her best night, but it is a terribly demanding aria, which most people stop singing after a short while. I have seen her do it in the last year, and it is NO problem for her. It is translated "the wrath of hell", which explains the demeanor.
I couldn't agree more with your insightful comment. I was getting so sick and tired of these "critiques" judging and tearing apart great singers' great performances, usually with such unnecessary comparions with other singers. This lady is one hell of a singer, but I must say the camera wasn't too friendly with her. Maybe she needs a makeover. Anyhow, I really think la Mosuc is very special, truly a bel canto great.
Muy buena performance, Elena muy bien si suponemos a la Reina de la Noche en un rol malvado; puede haber otras interpretaciones. Me gustó mucho la orquesta y el "tempo", un sonido limpio, brillante y ágil.
@pillowbugg : the "stretching" you are referring is a sign of ability not a lapse in technique. please realize we are lucky enough to witness an out of this world performance
I don't know what I have to look when I'm seeing an opera, 'cause I'm not in this business. But for me it all sounds like the same. I mean of every interpretor... But it's nice.. love it..
Am fost in sala la auditia ei la Opera Nationala Bucuresti, care nu a fost cu nimic mai prejos decat aceasta interpretare exceptionala. juriul de "profesionisti " de atunci a criticat-o pentru rochia rosie de lana crosetata si ca s-a impiedicat la intrarea pe scena din cauza tocurilor prea inalte. ei au categorisit-o drept taranca. totusi Mosuc, la o saptamana dupa aceea castiga concursul ARD la Munchen si dupa aceea a facut cariera pe care o continua in glorie. frumos nu? Felicitari Elena!
She does not go too slow when clearly and crisply hitting the high notes. When hitting the high notes you need to have the proper space and support and even then it may take a very, very small fraction of a second to hit a high F. She is very exceptional . I would like to see a video by you that performs less than one thousandth better than her. When you've accomplished this please post it so we all have something to laugh at.
It's not "forced", as many are saying, the clothes are pressing the diaphragm, so she can't breath properly. With more air passing through the vocal chords, she can hit the notes easily. Oh, and I'm using my brothers account to write this comment, so, don't answer to it, ok?
I have said it on another video. I have a ton of respect for anyone who can even entertain the thought of singing this piece. However, in terms of performance, I don't think she was ready to bring this before the public. This piece is a vocal workout, but the audience shouldn't be able to tell. She seemed like she was just fighting, hoping to get through the aria in one piece.
@daemmerung19919: i wrote the lyrics so you can realise why she has that diabolical face. but it's hard for her because the notes are very high. i really admire her ...
I'm sure you don't know at all the Zurich Opera House and you cannot judge this great Theater by few singers. I find Elena Mosuc amazing. And this was a "commercial" event, the FIFA gala, not an Opera production. Kilik, please see other videos or came to the Zurich Opernhaus before expressing your pooooor opinion.
I also love her facial expression at 2:47. It looks as if she was about to burst a vocal cord or blood vessel, lol. Atleast she got the note out, very good singer!
This performance was better than the other one I'd seen. Although, I do fear that she might go crosseyed singing those notes. I thought her voice was going to go out for minute at the end. :/
Ok, she's not Damrau, but still it's one of the best interpretations I ever heard. Very consistent and powerful. Very good! Actually, Mosuc is a total surprise to me. Very nice
but...she does it. few can. and since it is so difficult, i think a few more mouth movements can be expected. and you are right, just the audio is better than the audio and video.
She IS a great voice, just a good singer, still not a diva. She has temper, and this tour de force needs temperament. Too many faces, as other singers do. Not every good singer had a great technical background. But, above all, in this Evil Queen, I like her. When she has sung this 25 times more, we´ll talk about details.
Not bad....when approaching the final..the sound she produced struggled a bit..or is it just me...Anyway my fave at this is Diana Damrau...though MIss Mosuc's version is very good. and hey..she is my conational..lol
@ daemmerung19919:Hell's vengeance boils in my heart, Death and despair flame about me! If Sarastro does not, through you, feel the pain of death, Then you will be my daughter nevermore. Disowned be forever, Forsaken be forever, Destroyed be forever All the bonds of nature If you do not make Sarastro turn pale! Hear, Gods of Vengeance, hear a mother's oath!
have you seen damrau sing it? have you seen any other professionals sing it? seriously... this is a stupid comment to make because there are plenty of ppl out there who don't look as stupid as elena mosuc does in this video when they sing queen of the night.
your right...she is goinf more then 1/8 a beat fast and she really is quite bad. She goes to slow when she needs to hit her high notes, she is straining to much and her tone is not up to par for this aria hence why so few do this part well.
Raymond James Irwin Oh God! Please don’t critique anyone on anything till you learn the difference between “...your...” and YOU’RE, also “...to...” and TOO👌
Also das ist eine der besten, sogar die beste Vorstellung, die ich bis jetzt gehört habe.
It's one of the most beautiful performances, of that aria I've ever heard.
i am in utter awe of this woman, one of a kind performance !
Great performance! Brava, Elena Moșuc!
Astounding....AND manages to convey the fire and wrath of the Queen herself. So many do not and simply sing the notes. Elena Mosuc is credible in this most difficult and exposed of coloratura arias. Well done!
i just fell in love with these powerful opera singers !
Yes, as much as I watch this video I understaind that Mosuc's interpretation is one of the best for me.
Great aria, great voice and beautiful singer.
I reckon, in any decade,there are less than 10 sopranos on the planet who can do this aria justice!! She is one of them.
Heck yes. I've always wanted to sing this song! I flipping love that high note!
very dramatic - a magnificent singing actress with a massive coloratura instrument reminiscent of Sutherland with Callas's theatrical genius added.
i can't stop watching this... i do really love it!
Wow, wow and wow!!! This piano subito and forte has been REALLY AMAZING! Nice nice!
This is a very successful soprano at the ZOH, who has sung this role countless times superbly.

I loved it so much thank you for sharing.
wait, this is BETTER than her actually performance...?
dear lord jesus christ have mercy on her soul.

I don't understand the negative comments. She is doing a good job.
the tempos i actually love and love thta she's singing this in character.
Oh my gosh! I've been in that opera house, it had the most amazing acoustics!
I love you and I miss you...I am so proud of you, you prove that you are the best! My best teacher,
Oh I just love that creciendo at the end!
Love Elena Mosuc!
Muy buena performance, Elena muy bien si suponemos a la Reina de la Noche en un rol malvado; puede haber otras interpretaciones.
Me gustó mucho la orquesta y el "tempo", un sonido limpio, brillante y ágil.
bravissima!!!!
I love her voice she is so good. She may have been off tempo a little at the biggining but she caught back up.
@pillowbugg : the "stretching" you are referring is a sign of ability not a lapse in technique. please realize we are lucky enough to witness an out of this world performance
i like the part AH AHAH AH....
luv it too much
For some strange reason, Liu is sometimes performed by a coloratura soprano. Anna Moffo sang Liu many times, for example.
the best queen of the night!
Frumoasă voce...
I don't know what I have to look when I'm seeing an opera, 'cause I'm not in this business. But for me it all sounds like the same. I mean of every interpretor... But it's nice.. love it..

si si-a depâsit limita vocalâ pierzându-si prea repede vocea si notele înalte în acelasi timp cu celebritatea nu-i asa?

FASCINANTE!!!!

grandios!!!

Jesse Silva 👌 ok🤫🥴🙄🤐😂
HAHA i was just about to send this to you.
soooooo bad!!!
Milano black and white movie here on the tube has this and amazing music. parts 1-3
positively manic!

I agree. (Possibly with Spain). They have some great ones too. Romania produces so many great sopranos. Must be something in the air. :)
hahaha yeahhhh we are gooooood :)
seems like my comment was already here! ...the funny thing is i just discovered her, while searching scalas's cast..!!
@daemmerung19919: i wrote the lyrics so you can realise why she has that diabolical face. but it's hard for her because the notes are very high. i really admire her ...
Bhe dai, non è così male...! =)
what amazes me the most is how Mr. Mozart could ever think of composing something like this.. fuckin sublime, if you don't mind me saying so
We do. There is no need for that kind of language here.
AMQ11 agreed!
il faut le faire,chapeau madame
I'm sure you don't know at all the Zurich Opera House and you cannot judge this great Theater by few singers. I find Elena Mosuc amazing. And this was a "commercial" event, the FIFA gala, not an Opera production.
Kilik, please see other videos or came to the Zurich Opernhaus before expressing your pooooor opinion.
I sometimes wonder what Callas could've made of this aria, had she sung it.
Cmessier, i think you are right, they got lost for a moment, but, of course, nobody is perfect.
damn....i envy her :O i wish some day i'll sing like that! i'm only in the first year of college :D
kaes tu est yuey denaque shuedo porue!!! bravo!!
very "maria callas" -esque ... un grand bravo!
I just love her face at 0:58... She clearly shouldn't be trying to sing this. She'll break a blood vessel...
I also love her facial expression at 2:47. It looks as if she was about to burst a vocal cord or blood vessel, lol. Atleast she got the note out, very good singer!
brava !
Превосходно!
I'm pretty sure it was the SINGER who messed up and the orchestra had to follow her. Off to watch again.
No Doubt a very difficult piece.
Is it me or is the timing quite noticeably out at around 50 seconds?
This performance was better than the other one I'd seen. Although, I do fear that she might go crosseyed singing those notes. I thought her voice was going to go out for minute at the end. :/
Se ve como sufre interpretando está aria.. miren su cara... O.O
AGREED!
Ok, she's not Damrau, but still it's one of the best interpretations I ever heard. Very consistent and powerful. Very good! Actually, Mosuc is a total surprise to me. Very nice
bravo..to all romanian singers..:D
This is truly great. Has she sang at the met yet? It is so open and so accurate, it's just great.
在第一段第二次的花腔中
Mosuc 正確的唱出了花腔 !!
但是第一次搶拍.......
but...she does it. few can. and since it is so difficult, i think a few more mouth movements can be expected.
and you are right, just the audio is better than the audio and video.
Man, when did she perform in Saloniki?
Damn I would've wanted to see her.
Really. I always thought it was Josepha Hofer. She sang the song in 1791. Edda Moser was not even born then!!
Bon pour des footballeurs !
comme ta tête et ta culture peut- être !
GROZAVA !!!!!
hahahaha laughing her face when she sings the high passage - too ugly...thank you for posting....hahahaha
the original queen of the nigth is edda moser she's a dramatique coloratura soprano but this woman i't's just perfect
This is very good! Not bad at all
dixi182...come on now be fair!
She IS a great voice, just a good singer, still not a diva. She has temper, and this tour de force needs temperament. Too many faces, as other singers do. Not every good singer had a great technical background. But, above all, in this Evil Queen, I like her. When she has sung this 25 times more, we´ll talk about details.
agreed...but they do not know that..
What is that super super high note??
@BEVER29Désolé,gentilhomme!
0:40 she starts rushing
0:56 first violinist confirms
She has a beautiful voice and the aria is okay on her voice, but I think it is better suited to others such as Sumi Jo and Lucia Popp. Not bad though.
Not bad....when approaching the final..the sound she produced struggled a bit..or is it just me...Anyway my fave at this is Diana Damrau...though MIss Mosuc's version is very good. and hey..she is my conational..lol
@ daemmerung19919:Hell's vengeance boils in my heart,
Death and despair flame about me!
If Sarastro does not, through you, feel the pain of death,
Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
Disowned be forever,
Forsaken be forever,
Destroyed be forever
All the bonds of nature
If you do not make Sarastro turn pale!
Hear, Gods of Vengeance, hear a mother's oath!
Is there a fire in the hall? What's the hurry!!
@DazFromOz She indeed hits them, but they sound awfully forced. Like she almost couldn't get them out...
She went ahead in one spot. It wasn't that far ahead. 1/8 of a beat if even.
correct me if i'm wrong, but are there not 7--i believe--... there are near the end of the "flight"...
Have you got the whole video of FIFA World Player 2006 in Zurich? You can share?
how dare you..its the best operatic voice, way better than tenor and bass!
It did seem a bit rushed. Otherwise, a good performance
BrajaDanielleJaly: You don't find the space for high notes by opening your mouth long and tall.. Choir has nothing to do with singing opera.
@abracadabranque
Que fais tu en ces lieux frelatés, qui donnent des bourdonnements d'oreille ?
she is going a bit sharp at times...but she is one scary Queen!
@abracadabranque
Et pourquoi non si ils aiment l'opera, Mozart et en l'occurrence ici; Mosuc vindicative à souhait?
She was hardly struggling with the high fs. PS Lucia Popp was not a dramatic coloratura.
the best f is sumijo ( not my opinion)
Her face scares me!
have you seen damrau sing it?
have you seen any other professionals sing it?
seriously... this is a stupid comment to make because there are plenty of ppl out there who don't look as stupid as elena mosuc does in this video when they sing queen of the night.
your right...she is goinf more then 1/8 a beat fast and she really is quite bad. She goes to slow when she needs to hit her high notes, she is straining to much and her tone is not up to par for this aria hence why so few do this part well.
