i realize der holle rache is like. way overdone these days as like the One aria that non opera people will know and it's practically a stereotype of opera or whatever at this point. but damn if it isn't a great number

#sasha speaks #it's so funny to me too because the way mozart wrote it...he's TOTALLY ripping off the baroque style #the style of the queen's music is different from the rest of the opera. it's still Mozart(tm) of course but it also stands out #cause the show is about The Enlightenment or whatever right. and the queen represents The Past that they're moving on from #and yet. it's not only the most well known aria of this opera but arguably of opera in general #which is just. so funny to me #edit. for gds sake look the other way when i display my complete and utter lack of german language knowledge
