Herbert von Karajan brought the soprano to the Metropolitan Opera New York, where she made her spectacular debut as the Queen of the Night in Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Since then she has been a guest on all the world’s major opera stages and has worked with the most famous conductors. She captivates not only with her high vocal artistry but also with a convincing performance and is considered the most important Mozart interpreter of our time. A recording of the Queen of the Night’s Revenge Aria was sent into space on a copper record aboard the space probe “Voyager 2” as an example of human vocal artistry. It is believed that this recording will still be audible in over a trillion years. Edda Moser taught at the Cologne University of Music and Dance and is a professor there for life.
