Part of what she's singing to her daughter: "The vengence of Hell boils in my heart; death and despair flame around me! If you do not cause Sarastro a painful death you will be my daughter no more! Outcast be forever, abandoned forever, destroyed forever be all ties of nature - if Sarastro be not blasted through you! Hear me, gods of vengence! Hear a mother's vow!"
If you think you don't like opera, just scroll on by... And don't worry. We'll be back to regular programming soon! :)

The singing is quite amazing. But she sure does walk around a lot.
Brilliant! Seen this clip before!
The Magic Flute is one of my favorite operas - I have a ticket for the upcoming LA Opera production this month. When I go I'll be thinking of Ludwig (previous post) and Blue Jay (next post) as this aria is being sung. Thanks!
I'm really glad you guys liked this! Over the years, I have become quite an opera fan. We're going to NYC in March and will be seeing one opera at the Met.
Opera, now, to me is the 25-year-old single malt scotch of music.
Cheers!
