There were many differences between the soprano voices in The Magic Flute.
The three ladies all had shrill, and I dear say, annoying voices. They were always bickering so it totally suited them.
The Queen of the Night had a high shrieky voice which sounded evil. What surprise me was how I couldn’t hear her voice so well by the opera. She hit all the notes, but it was not as strong as I thought it would be.
Pamina had the classic lyrical soprano voice, with a high but rich and clear tone. This gives Pamina an air of innocence.
The three boy ‘spirit guides had high voices, but they were thin and sounded very pure.
