SKU: A0.802613
Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Peet du Toit. Contemporary. Score and parts. 2 pages. Peet du Toit #6012569. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.802613)."Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" ("Hell's vengeance boils in my heart"), commonly abbreviated "Der Hölle Rache", is an aria sung by the Queen of the Night, a coloratura soprano part, in the second act of Mozart's opera The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte). It depicts a fit of vengeful rage in which the Queen of the Night places a knife into the hand of her daughter Pamina and exhorts her to assassinate Sarastro, the Queen's rival, else she will disown and curse Pamina.
Memorable, fast-paced, and menacingly grandiose, "Der Hölle Rache" is one of the most famous of all opera arias. This rage aria is often referred to as the Queen of the Night Aria, although the Queen sings another distinguished aria earlier in the opera, "O zittre nicht, mein lieber Sohn".
The opera is set in ancient Egypt. Mozart's sister-in-law - Josepha Hofer - sang it in 1791 at the premiere of this opera.
Here's your opportunity to excite your audiences with this short, but well-known aria.
