I am drawing a complete blank on the german name of the famous aria from The Magic Flute that the Queens sings in Act 2. The one were she sings something like, with this dagger. Anyone? Thanks!

Yes. A thrilling aria, I think Roberta Peters sounds especially good doing it.
It's shorter name is "Der Holle Rache" or just "The Queen of the Night Aria" (It's so famous, most people know what you're talking about!)

Beautiful aria indeed, I much prefer Ach, Ich fuhls, however.

Haunting g minor beauty.

I love me some Mozart Opera Arias! It's exciting to see people talking about things like the Magic Flute etc on these boards. I'm a vocal performance major, and this semester I am working on Batti Batti and Vedrai Carino from Don Giovanni.

I love Zerlina! I sang thoise arias this past smester with my teacher, they're fun

Die Zauberflote's music is indeed haunting, and I agree that Ach! Ich Fuhl's is beautiful as well, but Die Holle Rache is so much fun to listen to. Besides Mozart, what other composer wrote operas equally in several languages?
