Singer: Joan Sutherland

Large Small Description

Joan Sutherland as the Queen of the Night - Mozart: Die Zauberflöte
Covent Garden Orchestra & Chorus
Otto Klemperer

CDs have pitched Joan Sutherland's performances of the Queen of the Night's aria at B-flat major & C-sharp minor (original keys B-flat major & D minor), but a biography of Sutherland and Bonynge mentions that Bonynge transposed the arias into A major and C minor.

I transposed the recordings down a half step accordingly -- and behold! it sounds a lot more like Joan Sutherland! I'm guessing that this is the original pitch. Enjoy the C minor version.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

KÖNIGIN DER NACHT
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr.
Verstossen sey auf ewig und verlassen,
Zertrümmert alle Bande der Natur,
Wenn nicht durch dich Sarastro wird erblassen!
Hört Rache, - Götter! - Hört der Mutter Schwur.

Sie versinkt.

English Libretto or Translation:

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
My heart is seething with hellish vengeance,
death and despair are blazing around me!
Unless Sarastro feels the pangs of death at your hands
you are no longer my daughter.
Forever disowned, forever abandoned,
forever destroyed may all ties of nature be,
unless Sarastro dies at your hands!
Hear! Gods of vengeance! Hear a mother's vow!

She gives Pamina the dagger and disappears.
