Summary

Without any kind of warning or introduction, the Queen of the Night's aria explodes rock music of its time. The famous coloratura parts are as ecstatic as a sung orgasm. The Queen of the Night sings women's names: She is all women, she addresses them all by name. A call and an appeal. Like a hurricane, a night owl, a sexual diva, she flies toward the camera before a starry night sky with a full moon. – M.M.
