taught myself to play No.2 (Papageno's) aria from the Magic Flute on the steel tongue drum today - was not too difficult to figure out the right keys. Now for the harmonies, that's a bit trickier.

This engraving (c1794) depicts Act II, scene 28, of #Mozart’s ‘#Zauberflöte’, and is the last in a set of 6 scenes from the #opera that circulated in a contemporary journal (1795). I discuss these images in my chapter to the forthcoming Cambridge Companion to the #MagicFlute.

I've heard about a half dozen recordings of the 'Queen of the Night aria' and have seen #Mozart #MagicFlute twice.

I own this CD. I got it (back in the mid-90s) because I'm a big fan of Sir Georg Solti (most brass folks are, if they know his time w/ CSO). It was pure serendipity to discover #SumiJo.

I personally think she's the best at this aria.

Shout-out to the conductor of the #magicflute today in #Semperoper #Dresden Evan #Rogister, whom not only acknowledged the presence of children in the #opera but celebrated them with a little speech before the start of act 2.

Ein dickes #Danke an den Dirigenten Evan #Rogister, der heute vor dem zweiten Teil der #Zauberflöte in der #Semperoper in #Dresden nicht nur die Kinder im Raum begrüßte sondern auch ihre Anwesenheit zelebrierte.
