Famous arias

The music department of UWSP and the Monteverdi Chorale cooperated on an evening of operatic arias.  I knew I would recognize some but I don't know their names or the context.  Today, I woke up with the Queen of the Night from Mozart's The Magic Flute singing in my head.  I looked up the setting and the translation into English.  The first words I read about the aria were that it made a fine earworm.  You may know the term for a snatch of music that won't leave your head, that arrives without an invitation and keeps coming to mind without permission.
