The Queen of the Night part

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 2009-11-26 01:14.

The Queen of the Night part was written for Mozart's sister-in-law Josepha Hofer who had an extraordinary vocal range that Mozart wanted to showcase. This is described in the WP article

I heard another story about that aria that I won't repeat here except to say that I came across your blog post while googling for details about it.
