[edit] Callas
Removed Callas - she didn't sing this aria ever. Before you post please find the record or cd. Then post. The Ubik 13:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've been removing Callas again and again for ages. People just don't get it. Thanks. John Holly 16:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- So exactly why do I have a recording of Callas singing this piece on my iPod? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 145.53.203.93 (talk) 07:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC).
- Because you downloaded something on a P2P network which a title bearing her name, but she never sang it and if you compare it to her other recordings you can see that it's not her voice. There's no official record anywhere of her performing as the Queen anywhere, not in opera houses or concerts or anything and there are no bootleg versions of concerts containing this piece. She was not, ever, a coloratura soprano and did not have the tessiture or range required to sing this, period. John Holly 11:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know if she really didn't had the tessiture or range to sing the Queen of the Night but I can tell you that she was a coloratura soprano -she sang Lakmé, Lucia di Lammermoor, I Puritani, Mignon, Norma... All of these written for a coloratura soprano (you can even find her recordings in YouTube)-.
- I don't if the ever sang the queen either but she gave a master class (you can find it in YouTube also) about "Der hölle rache.." and even about the other aria of the queen "O zittre nicht, mein lieber sohn". I've read about Callas and I think she could have sang it but never did. Well I hope my comment helps.--AulendilElessar (talk) 01:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kelis
The singer Kelis uses a sample of the staccato part from Der Hölle Rache in her song "Like You". Does anyone know which singer she sampled? John Holly 19:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Erika Miklosa
Where's Erika Miklosa from the list of sopranos who have sung the aria? She have sung it at the Met, so in my opinion she deserves her name to be here. TehLunatic (talk) 17:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hello, I removed her name earlier. My opinion is that this list could get extremely long (and extremely boring for our readers) if everyone just put in their favorites. A reasonable criterion for inclusion, I think, is whether the Wikipedia has an article to link to, and there is none for Miklosa. Maybe you could find some reference sources and write one...

- Thank you very much for the fast answer. I wanted to make a userpage for her, but i haven't had time yet ( learning, always learning...) But in the summer I'll make one for her, thats for sure. I'll write here if i will have finished, so she can be put back on her well-deserved place.Kind Regards, TehLunatic (talk) 18:50, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
