What this woman can do with her voice is nothing short of astounding. Wolfgang would have approved, I bet.

She’s probably the best in the role..

I do, however, get a kick out of this person’s performance ....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FczltMKzJTY

For the aria by the QotN that takes place earlier in the opera, O Zittre Nicht, my fave version is Lucia Popp’s which I’ve linked to below. One can see how Tamino could be easily fooled by that voice. Many Queens turn on the harshness and evil in this first aria which kind of spoils it.

If it is the video clip that I am thinking of, I have had that video on my Operatic playlist for the last 4 years. Excellent choice!

[crusty old prospector]

Yeah, she is pretty good in that role.

Minority opinion here for Birgit Nordin:

Best film of the opera ever made . . . even though in Swedish! (we have Ingmar Bergman to thank for that of course).
