From Mozart’s 1791 Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), this aria sung by Natalie Dessay, is one of my two favorite parts of the opera. It is entitled "Der Hölle Rache" ("Hell's Revenge"). The Queen of the Night, the meanest mother in opera, is demanding that her daughter, Pamina, use the sword to kill the high priest, Sarastro. I particularly like the vocalizations.
