Talent and practice for many many hours.

She sounds like a violin
someguy7734206
It's always struck me how happy this aria sounds when the character singing it is giving her daughter a dagger, ordering her to murder someone, and threatening to disown her if she does not comply.

Totally not impressed, I once made the same sounds when I was kicked in the balls.
Davedavedavedavedave
Without audio, this is weird
woahnicky
I knew what song it was before I even unmuted, and it felt weird
Rangar
Same, and it's not weird, you're just cultured.

Florence Jenkins kills this tune as well.

Instructions unclear. The fat lady did not sing. She is quite attractive.
jerusalemspider
Fat ladies can be attractive too, you body shaming nincompoop
75townecoupe
Maybe I should have added a /s ? Was making an opera joke and my spouse and I are rather fluffy ourselves.
jerusalemspider
Yeah, I wasn't serious either, hence my use of the word nincompoop. Though I stand by what I said about chunky dames

Diana Damrau. Amazing singer.
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
That's the owner of that aria, we shouldn't compare
Freeasabird2015
She's amazing! For those that might be interested search for Sabine Devieilhe on YouTube to hear a truly flawless voice, I swear I heard her made her voice echo, but it was such a way it was impossible, in one video but I've never found it again. And the most beautiful version of the Flower Duet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1ZL5AxmK_A

I really like her technique of raising her eyebrows instead of her chin for the high notes.
I had my spins fused so ai can't life my chin to hit high notes anymore and the shoulders back and/or eyebrows up methods are quite effective.
phoony
That‘s impressive.
imNotThisCleverIRL
A rare unmute for me. Was not disappointed.

Do you think Mozart consulted a singer before writing this, or was he just like "eh I'm sure they'll figure out how to do that"?
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
There's a story, not sure if apocryphal, that he made it with a singer in mind, whose head bobbed like a bird when making certain notes.
DoTheDartman
Bet she could crush "Happy Birthday".

This queen of the night character seem to love a good laugh
Rangar
Yeah, when she's not ordering her daughter to kill someone, else she be disowned.
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
no no, I think she likes a good laugh even then

There's a video floating around of a guy with headphones on singing along perfectly to that song. (Arron Crascall) Second half of this:

Mozart, you bastard. Bludgeoning that poor woman with your "Magic Flute."

Mozart, the man who penned, and I quote, "Well, I wish you good night, but first,
Shit in your bed and make it burst.
Sleep soundly, my love
Into your mouth your arse you'll shove"
And yes, this is a real quote. Feel free to google it.

So we have a couple of music/sound books for our children. You know: sounds of ‘farm animals’ or ‘fire engines’. Press a spot in the book and a sound fragment plays.
One of the books is Die Zauberflöte. It’s our youngest (almost two) favorite, it has a page with this exact segment. It’s the only bit of the book he names: “koming de naaacht”.
It’s adorable. We should take him to the opera one day.
PS: I disliked Mozart, too frivolous, I’m more of a Bach guy. Our children make me reconsider.

They have their moments, as do Telemann, Vivaldi & Albinoni. If I had to choose between the Classical and the Romantic era composers, I'd take Beethoven & Franz Schubert over Bach & Mozart.
Tbh, Ravel, Borodin, Prokofiev, Chopin, Respighi, Tchaikovsky, Ionescu, Mussorgsky, DeBussy, Gershwin, Dvorak & Mahler are my all-time faves.
