  • La Divina ! Love you forever Maria Callas !

  • SHE SANG PRETTY WELL HERE...HER CAREER COULD HAVE BENN LONGER BUT SHE DID NOT WANTED IT SO....A PITY FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HER AND A GREAT LOSS FOR THE WORLD OF OPERA !!!!

  • At the end it´s heartbreaking to see she´s absolutely devastated,as if she knew the end was near.But still she will always be the best,the alpha,the only one,La Divina per sempre!!

  • La soprano absoluta!!! María por siempre!!

  • Comment removed

  • There's no other word better to describe her. Amazing.

  • Callas Forever...Shes is the best soprano ever

  • God I love her low notes... <3

  • @lispectorando She sound like a tenor in low notes, i love her, she is amazing !!!! total powerfull

  • In the film "Callas Forever", Callas admits that she speaks no language properly. That no language was her mother tongue. Is this true? And is this even possible?

  • @lispectorando

    totally true. she speaks greek like an american, american and italian like a greek...

  • I once read that a music critic had remarked her voice was, for a purely acoustical perspective, an ugly sound. I didn't really understand what that meant at the time, I thought it was just silly. But lately I've been thinking it makes sense. Her timbre is indeed almost ugly, rather monstrous and horrible - as are all operas. But it's so tragic, violent and exuberant. So lately I have heard other sopranos with "ugly" voices, and I adore them!

  • No se porque tanta pelea respecto a que si parecia gallina o no. Simplemente quien quiera escucharla que así lo haga y al que le desagrade pues que escuche la interprete que más le parezca.

  • A pesar que ya no era la maría callas de siempre, me encantan esos graves misteriosos que emite. Viva la soprano absoluta! Para mi primero esta ella y luego las demás, no la cambio por ninguna.

  • es triste que elijan un vídeo de la gran maría callas y lo degraden con sus comentarios insanos... dios deleitense con la ultima verdadera soprano!

  • Sounds slightly tenor

  • The last Diva.. Brava!!

  • cualquiera que diga que María Callas es una gallina es un verdadero Gil, brava María sempre!!!!!!!

  • HOLY FLIPPIN' FLIPPIN' COW!!

  • @NEBESHIKU que horror. Ya vi tu canal. Ya veo porque eres asi. Suerte Callista!

  • @oxfordyes ... y para ver por lo cuál eres como eres habría que experimentar con tus padres. Tus dos neuronas son apenas capaces de concretar la más minima manifestación de pensamiento primitivo, dices que no te importa pero viste mi canal. jajajajajajaja La suerte es para animales como tú, que es lo único que les ha permitido llegar a la edad que tienen.

  • One critic wrote of this tour: "Her voice was in ruins, but they were the most magnificent ruins in the world."

  • Maria Callas like you noneone!

  • que horror!!..canta espantoso!..porque le hacen tanto circo...parece una gallina poniendo huevo!

  • @oxfordyes ¡Qué estúpido! Te invito a que investigues de historia. Ella sólo se basaba a su nivel interpretativo, su voz era hermosa, pero ya estaba en decline vocal. Nadie como ella.

  • @borres88 en decline vocal?..entonces significa que durante toda su carrera estuvo fingiendo la voz para cantar....mas gallina ponedora aun!!!....y si hay muchas como ella!..te las encuentras en un corral empollando!!

  • @oxfordyes ni que fuera como tu madre que le dicen la gallina ponedora pues no sabe decir no y de tantos que son no sabe cual de los gallos fue el que la premió.

  • @NEBESHIKU

    era cuestion de tiempo de que se integrara un metiche...y con el ultimo recurso!..que ya no sabiendo que decir hace lo que todos los descerebrados..meterse con la madre de los demas..pero bueno supongo que asi te criaste..y yo con tu mama no me meto por respeto...que nefasto!

  • @oxfordyes con la mama? ultimo? cuestion? demas? asi? qué no se escribe mamá, último, cuestión, demás, así? Definitivamente naciste con posibilidades cerebrales limitadas! Dos neuronas una para que no te asfixies y otra para que no defeques dónde estés parado/a. Tu baratísima retórica se volvió aún más cómica y patética al mostrar la inexistente ortografía que tienes. Gracias por la risa y burla que pude disfrutar a tus expensas. JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

  • For ever the Best.

  • that dress could not flatter her more~ so much emotions flows from this woman what a wonder and joy to watch her perform~ Thank heavens for the recordings that without I would never hear such beauty~

  • Who cares about the voice ... Callas is so much more than just a "voice" ... Callas is a Myth, a Legend, and will remain the symbol of what should be an Opera singer until the end of time. Even here, with her voice "ruined", she remains sovereign, and so much better than many so called "opera stars" of today.

  • she is so beautiful here

  • Quando la musica ce l'hai scritta nel DNA si vede,c'è poco da fare.Pure con quattro note oscillanti riesce a incantare.

  • a gift from greece

  • WoW. Watching this woman sing is a masterclass. Yes her voice may have lost a touch at the top end but even on a bad day Callas could outsing most good performers. Its taken years for people to really appreciate just how good she was.

  • when was this?

  • Hay falencias evidentemente. Sabemos que es lo ultimo de Maria... Pero el aria debe ser apreciada integralmente en todo lo que ella representa. No hay tanto apoyo es verdad. No obstante, es una interpretación sublime.

  • @blktenor...lack of diaphragm strength may cause wobbles...as you age...esp. you must have a strong physical core. i hear it in many jazz and rock vocalists on quick recordings. it also has a little help from where you place your incoming notes before the wobble. i hear it a lot and others never mention it on recordings...this is most likely why pop singers cannot sing an entire line in one breath or even think of singing 2 or 3 lines in one breath.

  • No importa que la voz no haya sido la misma de 10 años atràs, la mùsica sigue ahì, intacta... es excepcional, ninguna como ella, la divina seguirà siendo la divina,

  • stupenda unica e inimitabile

  • What exactly causes a wobble? Can anyone tell me? Isn't it lack of breath support?

  • Yes it is exactly that. She probably lost the additional support the extra weight provided her before she lost all of that weight.

  • Her chest voice still sounds marvelous here. Not bad at all.

  • god!! por ana netrebko she made nothing and a bunch of idiots are saying bad things about her she is awesome why do you speak things like "go back to school' to her?

  • When I hear this scene I must think about a story about Pauline Viardot.

    When Giuditta Pasta had sung Bolena in London in the 1850s she visit her performance, after the Opera she said to her pupil Aglaja Orgeni: The voice of her is like the last supper form da vinci - a wreck of a picture- but the greatest painting of the world......sad......

  • @OLIVCHEN77 interesting comment. I wish we could hear Giuditta Pasta sing.

  • YMA SUMAC I ES LA REYNA

  • sin duda, como la divina no habra otra. esa voz, ese poder. No no hay mas, al menos no por el momento

  • This wasn't in Japan. It was at The Royal Festival Hall, London, 1973.

  • thanks a lot for this sound

  • Excuse me

    I think this clip is not Callas' last concert in Japan.....

    This one should be earlier

  • I don't know much about opera but I would like to know about what took her voice away, I mean why isn't this great compared to her earlier sound? I have no idea.

  • Wow...great sound, carisma and style......and thans what counts.

  • The musicality remains sovereign, and while the voice is worn, she doesn't really disgrace herself either. The big high note is rough, but what came before was actually remarkably poised and steady. And NO soprano, I mean NO SOPRANO, sings the middle section with such heartbreaking elegance...she creates magic where other sopranos prefer to glide over, and that was her genius.

  • Ancora non ho capito questo decadimento pazzesco della voce! E inspiegabile che una donna 15 anni prima arriva a un MI naturale e in quel concerto fa fatica ad arrivare a un SI!

  • @lantis323f la vita ti cambia,tutto qui... Lei visse  il melodramma come una vita reale e vivere veramente ha il suo prezzo...

  • Don't be so mean even with a healhty voice this aria is really hars with the voice.

  • AH LA DIVINA...KE EMOZIONE...!

  • SHE WAS THE ONE,THE REAL DIVA!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Mi commuove quest'aria cantata da Lei ...... pensando poi al triste seguito.

  • iT'S TERRIBLE TO LISTEN HER WONDERFUL VOICE SO CORRUPTED ...

  • Is it me or does that piano player seem a little off? Geesh...

  • Isn't this the London farewell concert???

  • avrà anche avuto la voce rovinata ma ci sono cantanti nel pieno della loro attività che non vedono nemmeno col binoccolo risultati del genere. Incredibile esecuzione, ho la pelle d'oca.

  • yes she was outta power in her voice but yet no one can do what she does with barely power in her voice

  • Che tristezza sentirla cantare in maniere così mediocre. Lei che era così severa con se stessa come deve aver sofferto ad abbassarsi a tanto.....

  • QUESTO CONCERTO E' A LONDRA , NON IN GIAPPONES, ASINIIII!!!!

  • i LOVE the unperfect quality that she has and I adore the use of her chest voice. This performance is totally raw and amazing.

  • A inefável voz de Maria Callas.

  • She is the singer I wish I could be... I quit singing and training because I felt I could never be as good as Maria Callas...She is the only singer I envy for her talent...I've been told I might have made it but I want to be on my own level as Maria has always been on a level of her own...til this day I have yet to have heard a singer as great as Maria Callas...a talent no words can describe...just listening to her sing makes me cry and I am in Aaawww of this woman

  • @claire0907807 Well I understand what you mean. I also sing opera, its hard work but i think its worth. Its a way to express yourself and its just an amazing feeling when I feel I am developing. Just let me say this. Everyone is unique and thats what makes us special, its the same with our voice, yes Maria is one of a kind but so are you and thats what make you special. Just continue to sing and enjoy the wonderful feeling. ;)

  • ALWAYS THE RESULT OF KALLAS INTERPRETATION WAS SO......... UNIQUE

  • Her voice sounds wonderful.

  • Great! Who can dare to perform This aria That way? Any mezzo?any dramatic soprano?No! She knews her Voice, she knews her fate, she gave us This suicidio.

    Who dares to sing it this way?Unforgetable!

  • incluso en esos momentos, que callas poseía menos del 50 % de su voz y que ella estaba consiente de ello, en el escenario jamas tendrá rival...

  • @CHARRASKEADO Así es, tú comentario es correcto. Callas sabiendo de los problemas y de su acortamiento longitudinal vocal, se arriesgaba a cantar arias a las que ella misma les había puesto un reto vocal. Woow. Enorme Callas.

  • the reason of why many people says that Callas's voice was gone its only because of all the critics that didnt like her started this, its true that her voice was in dicline but it didnt mean that she was really bad. Most of the sopranos in our century should learn something from Maria, The Slogato Soprano of the 20th century the incarnation of Giuditta Pasta

  • It seems to me to be the point that everybody is missing that even the greatest singer uses less power and less adrenalin at a recital with piano accompaniment (and the pianist here is terrible, to boot) than at a staged operatic performance with orchestra. If one construes this rendition as that of a "Lied" rather than of an operatic aria, it is unequalled.

  • @fredrickroll Oh please, the pianist is just fine. What are your complaints about him?

  • That isn't Japan. It's Concertgebouw - Amsterdam.

  • Hubiera pagado lo que fuera por ver visto éste concierto en vivo....

  • unica.......... :')

  • Please search for Mr3izah in YouTube

  • I think this was 1974, just 3 yrs before she died. She lost her voice, her love and her pride, It always breaks my heart when I listen to her from her final tour.

  • Does anybody know? What year is it? Wow how great sounds her low register!

  • She gave it all she could. And at times that great voice crept out. But she was the greatest singing actress.

  • I think 200 years after her death people will still fight about her,.THIS IS THE GENIUS AND THE IMMORTALITY.Merci Madame Callas!

  • Her voice is the sweetest sound to my ears

    VIVA CALLAS

  • SU VOZ E INTERPRETACION ME PROVOCAN TANTAS EMOCIONES, SIN BIEN ES CIERTA EXISTEN GRANDIOSAS VOCES PERO NINGUNA COMO LA DE ELLA, EXTRAORDINARIA MARIA CALLAS POR SIEMPRE

  • @andrea225high

    Come on italian bitch, leave the opera experts alone! You're only an expert for blowjobs and fucking doggystyle!

  • @andrea225high

    That's right ... Netrebko is not Callas. She is fat now and her voice sounds like a Mezzo. She's no longer my Anna.

  • da profano, ascoltatore... nn capisco perche lei in questo live anche se nn al massimo delle sue capacità riesce a farmi venire i brividi alla spina dorsale... grazie di aver cantato...

  • @MrBEAUTYISBEAUTIFUL era(è!) questo il segreto della Callas...

    fa accapponare la pelle solo aprendo bocca...

  • Comment removed

  • Suicidio!... In questi fieri momenti tu sol mi resti, e il cor mi tenti. Ultima voce del mio destino, ultima croce del mio cammin. E un dì leggiadro volavan l'ore, perdei la madre, perdei l'amore, vinsi l' infausta gelosa febre! Or piombo esausta Fra le tenèbre! Tocco alla mèta... Domando al cielo Di dormir quieta Dentro l'avel...
  • I do degree..as she said herself in one itnerwiew.." Nobody cant double Callas"

    so thrue even today..when she was in top..Today singers dont even know sometimes ,from what they are singing .

  • Wow.............She really went into the chest big time.

  • Festival Hall London, actually.

  • Ragazzi siete una massa di ignoranti! Questo concerto è a Londra, non in Giappone! Vergognatevi!

  • Callas siempre será un ícono de la ópera....

    La última soprano sfogato....

    A pesar que su voz estaba en el declíne vocal, Callas soberbiamente luce su bellísimo timbre de voz en una forma tan dual, a su vez tan esplendido como simepre pero con aquel martiz de una voz enorme.

    Sin duda ésto es una joya.

  • Why does everyone think that Callas is the best? I think she's absolutely great in this piece, and her losing her voice makes this piece complete and emotional.

    I find her earlier work flat and poor in emotion... I truly believe that she made it to be this popular mainly by her looks and not so much by her voice....

  • Actually this was November 1973 in London, her penultimate British appearance (I was at the last one in December!). In Japan the following, where she is in stronger voice, she is wearing a spangled gown with a diaphanous red overdress.

  • No offense... but did she have facial surgery? I find her rather pretty here, almost someone else...

  • Nope. She never had facial surgery.

  • another great Greek artist that belongs to Greek history now..thank u Maria

  • extraordinaria...

  • she's the best!

  • which year was that?

  • @theory1976 it was 1974,which was her first and only visit to japan. very sorry that it was only 3 years before she had passed away.

  • Qu'elle est BELLE... à tous niveaux.

    Une DÉESSE.

  • She's an incredibly gifted human being.

  • La mejor!

  • Divina!

  • Me encanta... muchas gracias!!

  • love that outfit.

  • Absolutely fantastic.

  • Diva Assoluta!

  • .......... sin palabras...............

  • What superb ARTISTRY! LA DIVINA!

  • I can't believe her voice was "ruined" because even in this video she sound so divine!

    No wonder she is considered the golden voice of the 21st century.

  • god what chest voice, even so past her prime...

  • I love her dress and scarf.

  • Why on earth is Gandor1337 mentioning Nebretko? What's the link between La Divina and the Russian bimbo? If he wants to say that Callas's voice was gone in this excerpt, I agree. But as far as musicality, genius, pathos, command and supremacy of Art is concerned, Callas is unequalled and Nebretko can go back to school. Stop messing everything up.

  • 101% agree.

  • @GoldenAgeSunshine so agreed!!!!!

  • @GoldenAgeSunshine Agree. Netrebko (and many others) will never have the musical taste that Callas had. It's just a gift.

  • @zurriussII Netrebko is simple as Callas, i mean, a person who sings with all her soul.

  • @zurriussII it is not a gift,it is serafin's work,kids

  • Go and get educated!!!!!!

  • Maria...Maria....Incredible. And so tragic, too. What a voice - what a life.

  • 0:52 "...tu sol mi resti....."

  • La nostra piu preziosa Karyatide.....

    Piu cose mancano piu bella è ....!

    Μαρία Καλογεροπούλου!

  • 3:13 makes me wonder some things

  • Always magnifique, even with a tired voice.

    This concert means a lot to me. I just love it.

    She was dressed with the greek's colours flag...not usual on her a white dress for concert. She was so beautiful.

  • SUPERB PERFORMANCE FOR THE TIME!

  • Maria Callas non sarà mai orribile...è vero, in quegli anni la sua voce non era più la stessa ma un'artista del genere con una voce così meravigliosa in ogni sua sfaccettatura non sarà mai e poi mai orribile!!!!!

  • La adoro....

    La Callas...Es sin duda la voz màs bella,,,

    Wooow!!

    La ùltima soprano sfogato.

  • Legend!

  • Divina!

  • what made this performance amazing and touching at the same time is because of the fact that she's trying to muster all that she can to give a good performance even though she herself know that her voice has deteriorated.

    A TRUE LEGENDARY DIVA.

  • @VocalRuns

    I totally agree. did you see the last performance of Pavarotti, in Torino? I felt in the same way.

  • Striker....give up....we losed!!!! The rotten game is over!!!!!!

    Hello Callas and Netrebko fans!

    Striker9410 is my buddy and we upload videos of Maria Callas and Netrebko under many different names(LittlePasserotto, Leoperarm, Oneguin and so on). We make money with every click on our videos. Thank you folks for your clicks!!!

    We know, it's forbidden from YouTube but we benefit ourself with the idiotic comments. HAW HAW...........thanks for the money!!!!

  • I would still have loved her, even if this were her best! She is so sincere, so moving, so true! Probably this kind of voice, like Sulioti's is not made to last long, but it is unique when it is so full of sentiments.

  • Far out she is such an elegant woman.

  • Striker, you look like "Achmed the dead terrorist" in November!!!!

    SILENCE............I kill you!!!!!!

  • I think there is a kind of faded glory here that is quite moving.

  • It was a shame when Maria Callas started to lose her sublime voice... :(

  • This voice is a shame!!!

    Why she sing as Mezzo such a piece? She strikes every high notes and wobble in the middle-range.

    What a shame!!!

  • It's more a shame that your mouth is going to be stuffed with fresh shit, in November, in New York!! PEDO FILAREDO! FILAREDO THE PEDO!!

  • Sublime!

  • Ok, this is very far from vocal prime but still..

    I'd take a declining Callas anyday over at least 70% singers because unlike all of them here she still has the drama, the fraseggio, the intensity, the colour, the accents.. and that has nothing to do with the integrity of the voice, that IS Callas.

  • DON't forget this i 100 % LIVE...who does it today! nobody,,,even Celine starts to do half LIVE...

  • Callas career in 1959/60 she lasted very short.She did a terrible comeback in 1964 that lasted only one year 1964/65 she was voiceless.Here in 1973 she faced the public after 8 years of not singing.This is very sad, she sings "Suicidio" with a closed piano and even though she can't be heard.Poor Maria

  • can u elaborate on half live?

    thanks

    im just not sure about these things

  • lol...are u having fun on me? Lol anyway, I mean they lipsinc sometimes or mostly...otherwise LIVE will suck...they just put a recorded CD...Celine does sing LIVE though but some songs she can't anymore just do her best as she was doing maybe a decade ago but still she does the BEST LIVE now...NObody is equal to her. CALLAS is just legend...she even in her 50s was doing LIVE and even being in pain she is awesome and great as usual and forever...no pre-recorded stuff.

  • Exactly, eradesso. I rarely listen to these tour recordings. They are like Leonardo's Last Supper, a wreck of a painting, yet the greatest piece of art of the time. Callas will always be Callas. The tragedy of her life, the beauty of her art and the music history she made. Forever loved by all who love great singing.

  • The low notes she curr like a pigeon and the rest is like a brake squeal.

    Afraid? quite rightly! If the voice is only bullshit!

  • The low notes are divine. The rest very diminished. But she was so afraid by that time. I love her!
