The translation we used for this production: Within my heart the fire of hell is burning You shall avenge me! You shall repay the tyrant for his crimes Hear now your task: Sarastro must be murdered And if you fail you'll be no child of mine I'll banish you forever Abandon you forever Renounce at last forever all that bound you once to me Now hear, now hear Oh, Gods of vengeance, hear me! You shall avenge me, Hear what I decree!
Sills, who famously hated singing the Queen stated that she herself only sang it perfectly one time and wrote in one of her autobiographies "At any given time only about 5 sopranos in the world can sing this role."Ms. Curtain is now one of the five.
triple points to this soprano for (1) singing it and (2) singing it while having to lug around a costume so she doesn't trip over!! As if she hasn't got enough to think about with this aria as it is!
@@kellycurtinsoprano The English version is my favorite cause I (Baritenor & Multi-Instrumentalist) would do a Tenor version as a special item. Here's the Tenor version:th-cam.com/video/_mwWP5iFI_A/w-d-xo.html but you'll hear that the Tenor vocalist changed out some of the lyrics to make it more appropriate for Tenors, Countertenors, Baritones, Basses, & Bass Baritones.
@@kellycurtinsoprano Interesting! It's not the first time I hear someone (even a native!) say that English is not very suitable for operatic singing. How's is that so?
@@amalkatrazz Cannot speak for Kelly, but this Kelli finds English very gutteral and without a line that is easy to tie together to a legato line as other languages.
If the sound quality would better, this performance be perfect! You've made such a brilliant work! This aria is one of the most difficult to sing in a world! And you've "hit" it with such energy and accurate! Bravo! And now i like the English version of this song cause it's sounds good, really! German and English are related languages.
There's very few English versions of this song on youtube, but so far this is the best one in my opinion. I love the translation of the lyrics and I think Kelly has a great singing voice. I agree with someone else that it may have sounded better if the audio quality was more clear, but as it is, it's still fantastic. I can just imagine that you'd get goosebumps and chills if you saw this performance in person.
VERY impressive!!! One rarely hears a truly good Queen of the Night! But Kelly Curtin definitely falls into this category!! In fact, her performance greatly reminds me of Edda Moser, who in my opinion is the greatest Queen of all time. Kelly comes VERY close, and is FAR BETTER than any of the contemporary sopranos who are well known for this role!!!
They’re definitely using microphones against that loud backdrop of music. There’s two options: 1) It’s a microphone concealed in their elaborate wigs, which is the most likely option. 2) They’ve used microphones on the stage itself, which is possible due to the sheer level of projection that Opera singers have. (There’s one final option, which is that they’re performing in an older theatre which predates microphones, in which case it was designed to project vocalists’ performances through careful and meticulously planned acoustics. That’s also the case with older churches & cathedrals, which needed to project the voices of choirs all the way to the back)
Brilliant performance!! I honestly think German dads feeling of rage to the song, somehow, English just doesn't have the same ring to it.. Amazing performance by the soprano, though!!
Beautiful voice and great work creating the queen of the night. The only thing I don't like is it on english I will prefer that stay on German,but great work though pretty cool.

The translation we used for this production:
Within my heart the fire of hell is burning
You shall avenge me!
You shall repay the tyrant for his crimes
Hear now your task:
Sarastro must be murdered
And if you fail you'll be no child of mine
I'll banish you forever
Abandon you forever
Renounce at last forever all that bound you once to me
Now hear, now hear
Oh, Gods of vengeance, hear me!
You shall avenge me,
Hear what I decree!
amazing how they managed to keep the metric of the verses without deviating too much from the original meaning
@@anaislekapene752 It helps that the original opera is in German; English is heavily rooted in German grammar and vocabulary.
Thank you. An English version is refreshing!
You are really good. It made me cry. 😭 thank you 🥰💕
Great job! Did you guys use the dialogue from Julie Taymor's production from the met for this production?

I can and I was named an alto (I think I’m a mezzo-soprano tho)
And to be able to sing it night after night when performing is amazing!
What an amazing voice!
this goddamn art is perhaps the most horrifying musical piece ever written. a mother literally telling her daughter to murder her lover.
Technically her lover's boss. But yeah, the aria is one of the most terrifying.

This woman has an awesome voice, but it sounds so much better and has more of an impact in German i think
It's definitely easier to sing in German too. 😁

It's really cool finally understanding it without reading it in german and english.. it really is one hell of a song
Incredibly beautiful! My children will be excited to see your video!
Gurl, I can't understand a word she is saying but I am living.
Absolute legend

my mom when she found out i used her cloths pins to build a robot again :)
nice job Kelly this is my 1st time hearing it in English its easier in English than in Russian and German l
AMAZING!
Absolutely brilliant. I’m so excited to follow your career :)
Imagine this in a Disney movie. It would be AWESOME.
It finally makes sense
No microphones? How do you do that? Opera singers are awesome.
They’re definitely using microphones against that loud backdrop of music. There’s two options:
1) It’s a microphone concealed in their elaborate wigs, which is the most likely option.
2) They’ve used microphones on the stage itself, which is possible due to the sheer level of projection that Opera singers have.
(There’s one final option, which is that they’re performing in an older theatre which predates microphones, in which case it was designed to project vocalists’ performances through careful and meticulously planned acoustics.

Hey I need it's lyrics someone can help me
What are the lyrics to this In English?
Meaby a little bit late, but look in the description...
CHICLAYO PERU 🇵🇪 🤝 🇬🇧 🇩🇪
The audio quality isn't great. But she powers through and the highs make it out. Lovely
Bad placement of microphones. They need to be higher to prevent that loud "farty" sound of the bass.
Where is the full video
Very nice rendition in English!
Can someone write the lyrics? I can't understand a word. Amazing voice btw!
You sang this? Remind me never to piss you off.
🤣🤣🤣 I'm not nearly as mean as the Queen!
In Amadeus they sing this aria in English too, but the translation is different. Very good performance, btw.
Omg!!! An English version. May be there's a Spanish version. That would be interesting. 🤔
There is, indeed.
@@nairerodriguez9362 😲
Wau good🤗
Wow amazing it is 😍😍👌🏻👌🏻 plz provide English lyrics .
Where can I get a music sheet for this? Thanks.

Hear hear heeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
Queen of the night ... liked that :-)
Its a sin line Shakespeare in german
She sounds wonderful but I'm a bit surprised that I don't like it quite as much in English.
What in not to like.
Translation is a little weird. Amazing singing.
Beautiful voice and great work creating the queen of the night. The only thing I don't like is it on english I will prefer that stay on German,but great work though pretty cool.
파미나 : 어머니!
밤의 여왕 : 닥쳐라!
A ok idea but keep it German
