The new Volvo commercial features a soprano singing a staccato series of very high notes. It has been stuck in my brain for some time. I've heard that aria so many times and just couldn't place it. So I did a little search. It is the Queen of the Night aria from Magic Flute. Here is a wonderful YouTube video of several great sopranos so you can compare them. The highest note is C above High C, right near the far right end of the piano keyboard. :laugh2:
