Productions and adaptations of The Magic Flute can vary wildly in what happens to the Queen of the Night in the end.

Whether she lives or dies, whether or not it's implied that she might come back someday, and various other details are left to the director's (or adaptation writer's) imagination.

So I thought I'd have my fellow opera fans vote for which of the many variations is best.

The last option, by the way, isn't one I've ever seen applied to the Queen, but is the fate of her male counterpart King Vorteyo in my gender-bent novel retelling An Eternal Crown.

Because I wanted to include Vorteyo's fate, I didn't include an "Other" option, but if anyone has seen a good variation not mentioned here, then please reblog and describe it!

The Queen of the Night by Alexander Chee is an engrossing, vivid novel about a Parisian opera star with a hidden past. When a novelist tells her that a new opera is being written, she recognizes the plot—and begins to wonder which of the only three people who know her secret will have exposed her. We dive back into her past to tell the story of all the times she has died and be reborn, of the masks she's worn, of the roles she's played. She wants love, she loves admiration, but more than any of it she wants freedom, economic and total, free of strings. But is there any life free of strings, or does Fate itself hold hers?

There are definitely flaws to the novel. Chee falls into a classic pitfall of historical fiction, which is a perhaps over-enthusiasm for some of the details that I'm sure are fun, but that the reader doesn't actually need—like the list of the Empress's furs, or the full description of a playful late-night rendition of Hamlet. As I feel about most books over 400 pages, I feel that this one didn't have to be 553 pages, and could have been just as decadent and fun in closer to 450.

Her life is unbelievable in an entertaining sort of way. She had a miraculous kind of luck to accompany her intense, ruthless ambitious, and she knows from the start that it might mean Fate is setting her up for a large downfall, or correction. I will say that occasionally her emotions can feel almost shallowly one-dimensional. Once she's gotten it in her head that she doesn't like a situation, she tends to leave all her hard-earned money behind, and more importantly, her hopes for the opera, and flee without any thought of consequences. This could be frustrating on the 3rd or 4th go-around when it was obvious it wouldn't be that easy. Also, any health issues seem to heal miraculously perfectly to the point of never coming up again.

I really enjoyed the era and its lushness, learning about these great figures of history who I didn't know well, the descriptions of the music and its impact on her, from the lewd, exciting can-can at the Bar Mabille to the tightly wound courts of the Empress. It was a good enough novel that I wanted to see the mystery unravel (though I had my suspicions about who betrayed her from early on). My final complaint is that he says later that he had an ending in mind and wrote the novel to get there, and that felt clear—the ending felt like it didn't quite fit the story we had read.
