Yeah I know Monostatos is supposed to be whispering! Surely Sarastro would have heard him a mile away!Btw another great performance by Damrau!

Damrau is a goddess, Pape is fierce (well, better as Sprecher imho)... now what is up with Manastatos's vibrato at the beginning? ouch! And why is this always the opera that directors/designers think they can go nuts with? lol

If you consider the divine quality and amazing quantity of the music he wrote in 1791(from k 595 to k 626), it's really a "miracle".Hell, he was dying! I think his music was getting better... God only knows what he would have written if his life had lasted more.

Yeah she wants the "Kingdom of Light" but she wants to attain it through her quest of power, greed, and she already controls her people through fear. All of these things aren't exactly the best things to have if you're the ruler of many people.

Veeeery true... lol Anyway, she's played Gilda characterised as "Princess Leia" from Star Wars, all placed in a "Planet of the Apes" world... No comments... LOL

Granted, but that was not the worst dress she had worn that night for sure ;)

What's incredible is not only that she sung with laryngitis. I'm amazed at how she had the guts to wear that dress and keep on behaving as die Königin lol

Yes, that's true, I absolutely adore her and admire her strength to sing so beautifully even when she was sick. |
