Mozart The Magic Flute….. Queen Of The Night Aria

 

The Magic Flute (German: Die Zauberflöte, K. 620) is an opera in two acts composed in 1791 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

 

The deranged Queen commands her daughter Pamina to slay her father:

 

The Queen sings:

You will avenge my suffering from his scorning.

Death to Sarastro!

I have endured disdain and been reviled

 

You must obey!

I give this awesome warning If you defy me, you're no more my child.

 

You must be bold!

Do exactly as you're told!

Or …..

I'll no longer claim you as my child.

You don't know how I hate him I so abominate him!

You must assassinate him! or you will pay the price.

I'll spurn you...renounce you... I'll disown you

 

My heart will turn to ice.

Yes, my heart...the heart that loved you will turn cold.

Be brave!

Be bold!

Sarastro shall be slaughtered Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill him quickly...

 

Do as you've been told..........
