Der Holle Rache is by Mozart. And it's a terrible aria to torture a young voice with and could ruin it forever. Shame on the teacher. Even seasoned professionals sing the role carefully because of the vocal gymnastics. It's like asking a child to deadlift 500 lbs.
Hell's vengeance boils in my heart / Death and despair blaze about me / If Sarastro doesn't feel the pain of death through you / Then you will not be my daughter anymore
Great performance! Not to detract from her skills and dedication; but I've heard that if you try to sing this aria if you're too young you can actually injure yourself?
From what I've heard, children who sing professionally get vocal injuries, more often than adult singers, because their vocal cords aren't finished developing. Vocal techniques which are healthy for adults aren't always good for young voices. It takes a teacher specially trained for young voices to help develop that talent to a professional level without injury. Which is rather different from teaching a classroom of 4th graders the basic skills to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" in rounds.
Agreed. This isn't the F5 at the top of a treble clef, but the F6 another octave up. (Guitar is written on a tenor clef, so two octaves. I've never seen a guitar with twenty-five frets, which I think is your point.)
Mozart wrote that part because he hated the singer, Ferrarese del Bene, who would pull her head back like while singing high and her head forward while singing low. While she would perform this she would bob her head like a chicken.

I always loved the queen of the night aria and she is doing it so well. Imagine a better room and better mix for sound.
BrokenAnimal
That was goddamn impressive.

I learned the pressing on someone's stomach technique when Sister Mary Clarence taught Sister Mary Roberts how to vocalize.
Bunnies007
Far from perfect, but flippin' impressive! (The Queen of The Night aria form Mozart's The Magic Flute, for anyone interested)
TheRealSprackle
With sound off I definitely thought she was just burping for a really long time.
Hmuda
That was pretty amazing. Now overdub it with a long burp.

I love the Magic Flute. ...That was my thing I played on repeat when young.

No doubt she has skills, but damn her voice gets squeaky at the end

Final note was a bit scuffed. But, then, she's a kid. That was damn impressive.

Last I checked.... Isn't Sarastro married to the Queen of the Night, and the aforementioned daughter's father?

I've only watched it with the sound off, I'm just gonna assume that she is letting out a rather impressive 42s burp.
OhIfIMust
I was hoping.
SirWadeWilson
It's an amazing song about manipulating your daughter to murder someone and laughing about it!
mocosoft
Respect for the girl who claps at the end. She truely appreciates her talent :)
ChelVanin
I know right? It’s more the smile than the clapping I think. She’s really engaged.
ohrightinthedink
And seems genuinely happy at how wonderful she performed the piece, good friend material...
DataBeardFace
As opposed to the rest of us plebes on the intertubes who deride her ability based on the slightest off key sound in her final high note. 🤣
ps238principal
I like how the teacher comes in to make slight adjustments so nothing explodes.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
It's because she's about to explode - not being able to use her hands since she's Italian.
Ispentfartoolongtryingtocomeupwithausernamebeforejoining
Thanks for explaining that, I was wondering wtf was going on there.
mocosoft
I think the teacher is just checking her form for maximum crazy good vocal things with diagrams and whatnot.
JoeMangoJello
Nothing worse than an exploding diagram.
TheDeathstick
Sorry…I’m Muttley laughing over here because I caught that.
Derfboy
Ok. I thought there was nothing worse but catching it is probably the worst thing possible.
TheDeathstick
And if you catch it, go see a doctor and get rid of it!!
DarkHollowDulcimers
Sounds like she's hitting the F that would be on the 25th fret of a guitars high E string. 1,396.9Hz.

came here for this comment. my parallel thought was about a violin string, but same concept

Ehhhhh I lack perfect pitch so I can't tell you what the names of the notes are, but her second highest and highest are both just slightly sharp.

No wrong piece. This vid above is the aria sung by the Queen of the Night in the Zauberflöte (magic flute)

And now I just learned there was a recent Finnish version called COVID fan tutte. Nice.

Having her sing "Leck Mir im Arsche" would send the quite wrong message, I think :P
