More Queen of Night
For a version with subtitles (It isn't as well performed as the last two.)
And here's a "rock" version of the same in which the Soprano opts for some odd stylings on the second run (is it a cadenza?). What is interesting about this performance is that the soprano opts to make the end of the upper range flute stylings legato rather than staccato. While a legitimate choice for introducing variations, it seems something of a cheat because it seems so much easier vocally. But then, I don't sing in that range, so it is possible that both choices present somewhat different challenges.
Heard enough about Mozart yet? Sorry--just one of my odd enthusiasms.
