In this heartfelt performance of Ach, ich fühl’s from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, soprano Dr. Canjingjing Cui portrays Pamina with emotional depth and lyrical elegance. Filmed during the 2023 International Summer Opera Festival of Morelia, the aria unfolds with quiet intensity as Pamina expresses her sorrow, doubt, and love through Mozart’s exquisitely delicate writing.
This performance highlights Dr. Cui’s refined phrasing, expressive control, and sensitivity to Mozart’s dramatic storytelling — capturing one of opera’s most poignant moments.
In this haunting excerpt from Lucia’s iconic “mad scene,” soprano Dr. Canjingjing Cui explores the expressive extremes of bel canto singing — combining floating legato lines, agile coloratura, and dramatic vulnerability. Performed as part of the Utah Vocal Arts Academy’s Opera Goes to the Movies program, this interpretation highlights Lucia’s fractured inner world while showcasing technical finesse and lyrical control.
In this performance of “Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen,” from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, soprano Dr. Canjingjing Cui (Pamina) collaborates in an intimate duet that requires precision, tonal blend, and classical restraint. The aria’s deceptively simple writing demands unified phrasing, impeccable intonation, and sensitivity to ensemble balance with Papageno.
Dr. Cui maintains a centered, chiaroscuro-informed tone with sustained legato lines, supported by steady appoggio and controlled vibrato width appropriate to Mozart style. The duet emphasizes conversational phrasing, requiring quick shifts between supportive duet lines and independent melodic leads while preserving clarity through the passaggio. Attention to German diction—particularly pure long vowels and crisp but unobtrusive consonants—enhances textual clarity without interrupting the legato line.
