The way Sanna looks at the recordings: that is pure love

Get yourself someone who looks at you like how Sanna looks at opera singers

Brett: Everyone knows it’s the Queen of the Night
Eddy: No it’s the Magic Flute
Brett: ( 0 — 0 )

I think the Queen of the Night Aria is not only hard to get right because the singer has to hit all the high notes.
She has to have a certain volume to her voice since she is supposedly a queen and mother. Singing all the correct notes while sounding like a little girl just won't fit the role.
Also she has to get the pronunciation just right. Slurring your words in this song makes you sound indecisive and soft (also a little bit drunk in my opinion). It is an angry aria. Most native speakers don't slur when they hold an angry speech - they tend to overpronounce things.

Eddy: how do you sing so high? Are you born with it?

Geniuses are born not created.

Only the OG will remember how Sanna was trying so hard to hide her laugh

[chopperhead]

Everyone: "opera needs to be in Italian"
Mozart: "halt mein bier"

[RibbinOpinion]

My favorite comment about The Magic Flute that someone else wrote:

Mozart, finishing The Magic Flute: Welp, someone will sing it, 'cause I'm not gonna...

Opera singers: practice
Eddy, an intellectual: gym routine for the throat

[generalkenobi]

Ling Ling didn't cry when he was born, he hit the 4 Fs of the Queen of the Night aria instead.

"She was the pro." Thanks Eddy. I couldn't have guessed otherwise.

Edit: Eddy actually said it.

The situation that she talked about, where the soprano didn't come for her entrance in Tosca, was with Kaufmann and Angela Gheirghiu in Vienna staatsoper! He sang the aria twice and then when she didn't come in, the whole auditorium laughed and Kaufmann sang "Non abbiamo il soprano" (we don't have a soprano 😂) and the orchestra had to begin to play the scene again 😂 I was lucky enough to watch live in Vienna, it was so funny.. People who worked at the opera that night said she did it on purpose, cause she wanted to have a grand entrance, since he took all the attention with singinf the aria twice. Lol

I gotta say, one of my favorite things about TwoSet is how *good* they are at their instrument and just musically in general, and yet they never miss an opportunity to make themselves look like the dumbest donkeys when it comes to other instruments. I deeply respect that and I wanna be dumb in just the same way.

This series is great for people who want to get into classical music but don’t really know which are good choices

[rahulsuresh]

If you want to know the emotion of a piece here, watch her face, she is unconsciously expressing to every piece.

[ChevisPreston]

I’m not a massive fan of opera, but the talent of the singers is absurd. These guys are insanely talented and hard working. Respect 100%

[secretforreddit]

I'm a simple person: I see Diana Damrau as the Queen of the Night in the thumbnail, I click.

[littlepoki]

Brett: *is entertained and enthusiastic*
Eddy: *adorably interested*
Sanna: *full of appreciation and just in love with every performance*

[cassharris]

As a soprano I can say many of us have the attitude of a little dog.

[JennaDelVirgo]

As a trained vocalist, I love the performances and singers she picked here. I think it would be really cool however to have a part 2 with more variety in singers. They're are plenty of Mezzo, Bass, and even Countertenor voices that should be highlighted as well.
