Meraviglioso l'allegro con brio finale cantato dal coro dopo il ringraziamento!! Interpretazione a dir poco magistrale!! 😍😍 Grazie mille di averci regalato questa musica, caro Wolfgang.
I just love the way they interpret that response after sarastro's third phrase! I didnt find any other interpretation where that appears as a sudden strike like that. If anyone knows please tell me where else can I hear it like that... it's at 2:20
I know this. Monostatos, the Queen of the Night, and the Three Angels try to do that final part of the plot to kill off Sarastro. Not even a rumble of thunder would ruin their first plans, but as they got too close to Sarastro's sandbox, Sarastro releases a much louder, powerful thunder and lightning series of blasts and smoke at the 5 people, and they all sink down to the earth--into nothingness. It is like they are Katschei in "The Firebird Ballet" and the egg breaks, destroying all of their souls. And the final outcome - Tamino and Pamina - having endured the tough ritual tests by Sarastro, win their biggest reward of their lives, as Sarastro declares both of them as true, reunited lovers.
