What makes a Great Soprano (Diana Damrau interview)

The short interview was about her iconic Königin der Nacht (Queen of the Night) role and she also discussed about agility and technique on how to sing this horrifyingly extravagant aria to every Coloratura Sopranos. Mozart composed this aria for his sister in law whom he hates, Josepha Hofer. Diana Damrau performed the Queen of the Night in 15 different productions all over known Opera Houses and I think that is so mother

@@kamanaos4643 nope, just best soprano, period

[@operaweirdo3115]

@@hyacinthusargus1513 they're actually both the Best, all of the sopranos are a Best Soprano, no any comparison because they have their own unique ability.

@@kamanaos4643 yeah no current soprano (even diana as much as i admire her) can beat callas and norman

[@shannonsuxx]

@@hyacinthusargus1513 I personally find Callas tone too sharp.
Mary Costa sounds gorgeous

Acting alone is tough, Singing with no motions is tough, she combined the two of them, what a stunning performance

[@bobl4439]

She is amazing and was an amazing Violetta in La Traviata at the Met last year

[@philiplewis7252]

Diana Damrau is a truly wonderful artist, and a true force of nature !

[@sadosama3051]

Oh i'm her fans. She makes me goosebumps eveytime she sang that

[@jda4879]

Same here!!!!

Sometimes people get so hung up on the technical aspects of performance that they fail to develop the things that make someone like Diana brilliant. Your singing has to be world class…that’s a given, that’s the prerequisite. But the physical embodiment of a character and the ability to bring that character to life *convincingly* and sell it to the audience night after night. Opera, Broadway, West End, it doesn’t matter…that’s “what separates the men from the boys” in theatrical performance. All of our favorite performers connect with us and portray their given material in a human way that transcends suspension of disbelief. Diana, in these videos, is very much the queen of the night. You don’t see Diana, you see the queen of the night…and it’s shocking. *That’s* what makes a brilliant performer.

She makes it seems so easy to sing that iconic opera song....Diva Diana Damrau ❤❤❤

Esplendorosa Diana Damrau, uma força forjada palas leis da natureza. ( vendo seguidas vezes em Belém do Pará- Brasil, essa espetacular apresentação dessa mulher extraordinariamente talentosa.

[@lkayh]

She’s amazing, that’s for sure.

[@stonesinmyblood27]

She owes a lot of her popularity to Mozart. ❤️

[@leelat8230]

Lets not forget the daughter's acting. She nailed it as well. They both did amazing and the rest of the backup extras also.

[@carefulconsumer8682]

Excellent interview. Thank you.

[@meg151]

I’m still confused with how this beautiful, elegant, humble woman is the terrifying, dark, evil queen of the night. JUST WOW!

[@beaumont1871]

skilled and doable

[@zambakanengue9966]

Hola amigos aquí sin duda esta cantante logra demostrarme muchas cosas tanto en lo vocal como en lo relacionado a la escena este personaje en mi opinión está muy hecho para ella por eso de su majistral y perfecta interpretación desde Madrid solo puedo deciros que es de las mejores interpretaciones que he visto a lo largo de tantos años escuchando y mirando óperas

[@leodarix]

You are wonderful! The best soprano!

[@Summer4season]

THE BEST LIVING SOPRANO!

[@DominusMonk33]

You bet a dangerous role to sing for sure...

[@ben-hurjudha3648]

I like almost everything of her, character, technical..even her voice is nearly for this role(agility, high, powerful) ....just only one component is not(in my mind) .It is small voice,not titan and round, homogeneous.

[@stuartlee6622]

Such a pretty young girl becomes a monster.
How can that be????
