Sabine Devieilhe’s “The Wrath of Hell” was heavenly

[yeeclaw]

How proud do you think Hank was that Jubilee correctly identified “Der Hölle Rach kotch in meinem Herzen” aka “Queen of the Night” as Mozart? And do we think it was an educated guess, or has she heard Hank play and talk about The Magic Flute enough to remember who composed it?

And can we talk about the foreshadowing of that song? “Hell’s Vengeance boils in my Heart” from the opera about rescuing a dark queen’s kidnapped child had to be a deliberate choice, and props to whoever made it for the small handful of us who would appreciate it.

(So @one-coming-is-enough whose fault is it that if you stay at a Queen concert long enough it becomes classical music) (look Lia I don’t have a better collective term)

(…well yes yes we know Freddie started it but still I had to make the joke)

Fun little story for your positive asks:

I'm a singer, and last Saturday, some of my (former) fellow Voice students did a little silly competition where you could sing anything you wanted - except for what you usually would/could. So, pop music (we're all classical singers), men singing female arias, you name it.

Now I am a soprano, but not a high one. I did Queen of the Night (der Hölle Rache), and used a recorder for the high notes I couldn't get myself. It was hilarious (all contributions were - our main winner was a bass who sang Mother knows Best from Tangled and I was crying with laughter by the end of it, and the prize for best ensemble went to a duo who did a performance of this: https://youtu.be/X9ON7l0ETzc?si=NqDQvvTyGnhPrbxe), everyone loved it, I had a lot of fun.

And I won the prize for "loudest contribution": a tube of Gelo ReVoice (a kind of over the counter throat "medicine") and ear plugs for my nonexistent partner. I was gunning for Most Professional or Best Costume, but, you know what, I'll take it.

All in all, it was the most fun I'd had in months, I've rarely laughed that much in a single evening :)

hey i’m just wondering if you realise how cool you are 🙏❤️

POST (purtroppo) PIÙ SERIO DI QUELLO CHE INIZIALMENTE SEMBRI

Io sono un otaku di seconda generazione cioè ho coltivato una passione per manga e anime giapponesi negli anni 70-80 e sono stato poi aiutato da Figlia Grande&Moroso a rinnovarla coi prodotti che, a differenza di allora, oggi sono disponibili a valanga.

Sarò coinciso, seguitemi.

Esiste un manga, poi trasposto in anime, che adoro sopra ogni altro per la sua originalità della storia e per la caratterizzazione dei personaggi.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. 

Può darsi abbiate visto qualcosa dell’anime sotto forma di gif o in immagine (appunto) bizzarra ma, in sintesi, è la storia dei membri di una famiglia il cui nome e cognome hanno le sillabe Jo+Jo e che attraverso gli anni scoprono e usano un potere chiamato STAND, una sorta di proiezione della loro personalità che agisce e combatte in modo (ribadisco) bizzarro.

(Star Platinum, lo Stand di JOtaro kuJO)

Questo anime mi piace così tanto che per diletto io e figlia grande giochiamo a immaginare quale possa essere lo stand di ogni persona che conosciamo, delineandone le caratteristiche e i poteri, e poi ci fermiamo lì perché io faccio schifo a disegnare (il mangaka è il suo moroso ma ha sempre troppi altri progetti per buttarmi giù almeno una bozza).

Naturalmente quelli riusciti meglio sono gli stand della nostra famiglia: il mio si chiama Heart On John e il suo attacco speciale Rocket Man (l’autore del manga usa spesso nomi di gruppi musicali, cantanti o composizioni), quello della mia compagna La regina della Notte e il suo attacco Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen, quello di figlia grande, invece, Judge Dread col suo Judgement Day...

Sembra un’idea sciocca ma posso assicurarvi che per come sono stati costruiti ne verrebbe fuori una storia molto godibile.

Se mi conoscete un po’, però, sapete che tutto quello che scrivo e mostro di me è sempre permeato da un aura divertente e ironica perché non c’è mai stata una sola volta in cui i miei problemi si siano risolti dopo un attacco di autocommiserazione... i problemi rimanevano e io avevo in più la voce rauca per i lamenti.

Nella cinematografia horror classica esiste una definizione per la figura della protagonista che sopravvive fino alla conclusione del film, che pur soffrendo terribili sciagure e torture riesce a sconfiggere lo psicopatico di turno.

Ed è questo il nome dello stand di mia figlia piccola

FINAL GIRL

Più la colpisci e la ferisci, più lei diventa cazzuta e quando il tizio con la maschera da hockey o la faccia di pelle sembra avere la meglio, lei si tira su e gli pianta nel culo una motosega.

Non amo la narrazione della guerriera che sconfigge il male che la affligge perché è molto facile che più spesso ci si debba convivere, soprattutto se non si tratta di un problema fisico, ma in questo caso la motosega le è stata data e prima dei titoli di coda state sicuri che la pianterà dove deve.

Dopo 20 giorni di antibiotici sempre più potenti, antidolorifici e cortisone per febbre troppo alta e una gola che si chiudeva sempre di più, l’abbiamo portata semi-incosciente e febbricitante in pronto soccorso, da dove poi è stata trasferita d’urgenza al reparto infettivi.

Potrei divertirvi raccontandovi quello che ha fatto al triage del PS quando le ho suggerito di non minimizzare i sintomi ma anzi di esagerarli un po’ (c’erano decine di persone con taglietti del cazzo e mal di testa vari) ma quello credo meriti un post a parte... corredato del suo audio whatsapp in cui mi urla con voce roca COL CAZZO CHE FACCIO IL TEST DELL’HIV MICA SONO UNA TOSSICA EROINOMANE! e io che le spiego, cercando di non ridere, che lo somministrano di default a chi entra in quel reparto... oppure di quando non voleva consegnare la provetta col campione di feci per la coprocultura all’infermiere figo perché poi magari lo incontrava fuori.

È ancora ricoverata, sta un po’ meglio e molto probabilmente si tratta di cytomegalovirus o mononucleosi con manifestazione severa, però se quello che non ti uccide ti rende più forte, magari adesso anche basta.

Comunque questa è lei, la mia Final Girl

E a casa stiamo aspettando tutti di vederla ritornare mentre ripulisce la sua motosega dal sangue dello stronzo che ha avuto la pessima idea di intralciarle il cammino.

P.S.

Perdonate la melodrammaticità e il colpo di scena acchiappalike ma in realtà volevo solo sfogarmi e sdrammatizzare un po’... e oramai ben sapete che io ci riesco solo in questo modo :)

Your Anakin would love this comparison and possibly want to dress like her 😂

Vader... unsure 😂 he'd probably love the drama

Someone: /talks about Vader as a parent/

Meanwhile in my mind: this type of parent, yes

Analysis of the queen of the night

The Queen of the Night is known as the antagonist in Mozart’s "The Magic Flute". In the beginning of the opera she comes across as the sad mother who lost her daughter Pamina to an evil man - Sarastro. However, in the course of the plot it turns out that Sarastro is actually trying to save Pamina from her manipulative mother. Therefore, Sarastro is seen as the hero while the Queen of the night is antagonistic. The mother is commonly described as self-centered and cruel. However, if we dig a little deeper, the Queen of the Night is a great representation of someone who - while feeling misunderstood - experiences strong emotions and takes radical decisions to deal with that. I would therefore like to analyze the Queen of the Night, mainly based on her two arias.

1st Aria - "O zittre nicht, mein lieber Sohn"

In the first Aria she sings to Tamino, telling him about the "evil man" ("Bösewicht") who abducted her daughter Pamina. She tells him to save her. The Queens’ feelings in this Aria come across very clearly through the music: she is desperate and experiences deep sadness due to the loss of her daughter. These feelings stem from a loss of control which she has experienced at this point. Her emotional instability becomes clear through the sudden changes in volume, speed and tone. At the same time she overcompensates this desperation by presenting herself as the powerful Queen. Additionally, she gains hope through Tamino, which is supported through the higher and faster music in the end. This signalizes her hope to gain control back.

2nd Aria - "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen"

At the first watch/listen of this Aria, it comes across as very angry and extreme. The music converts loads of anger through loud, high and aggressive tonality. However, I think the central feelings here are a deep desperation and helplessness. This comes across through her repetitions, especially when she is already done with her monologue and then turns around to confirm to her daughter what will happen to her if she doesn’t follow her command. Another example would be when she repeats the words "verstoßen", "verlassen" and "zetrümmert". Her entire world is shattered for her and she overcompensates this by projecting it on her daughter. She experienced an extreme loss of control and anger is her way of coping and overcompensating this. Her desperation, helplessness and pain is so extreme that she does not know how to cope with it.

Of course it is important to mention that her actions are morally wrong, therefore she makes a great antagonist. However, she does so because she has questionable thought patterns. She thinks it is her right to have control over anything she wants because she is the Queen. We could additionally speculate about why she has such an intense need for control, perhaps she has experienced an extreme loss of control in the past, more than a regular person should experience. Nevertheless, it is a fact that she experiences very extreme emotions. Her emotions are so strong they are unbearable, especially in the second aria. Therefore, she impulsively goes into rage and projects her despair onto her daughter in a desperate attempt to gain control back. Overall, she is stuck in her limited views and opinions, which leads her to act in morally questionable ways.

In conclusion, the Queen of the Night is not just a simple villain, but instead a very complex character. She is a desperate and helpless mother who, out of deep sadness and despair, overcompensates her strong feelings with anger and impulsive behavior. Her arias both address a very intense despair, not just sadness and anger.
