  • Quando ascolto la Casta Diva cantata da Maria... Il mondo e le tensioni della giornata svaniscono ... Grazie Maria...Avrei solo voluto conoscerti ^ . ^

  • Simplemente fantástico

  • What is the exsact data of this recording? please...

  • @dragoslavac 31st December 1957. Filmed on New Year's Eve, in Rome. When she woke up the next morning her voice had gone, which led to the fiasco on January 2nd when the Rome Opera had no understudy standing by when Callas cancelled Norma after the first scene. The aria here and on the Rome broadcast sound remarkably similar vocally.

  • this IS!

  • At 3:39 it pierces right through me like no male voice could ever do.

  • I just whish reincarnation would be true, cause I would wait for her as long as I can!

  • My divina

  • Божественно-обожаю!Мария Калласрулит!!!!!!!!!

  • accidenti anche a me piace molto la callas, ma non capisco perchè il mio insegnante di canto (che era un rinomatissimo tenore) dice sempre che era pessima, con una tecnica per nulla buona. peccato.

  • tras un pesado día de trabajo escuchar casta diva de María Calas es un bálsamo perfecto para empezar a relajarse

  • Divina, what else?

  • Does anyone really do that as well as Callas at 7:32 ?

    Absolutely beautiful.

  • Даже не верится, что евровидение было когда то таким

  • This is probably the radio and TV broadcast from December 31, 1957 before the infamous January 2,1958 Norma in Rome.

  • Diva

  • Μαρία,

    Κάθε φορά που σ' ακούω νοιώθω τόσο υπερήφανη που είμαι Ελληνίδα! Είσαι ότι καλλίτερο έχει να παρουσιάση η χώρα μας, στον κόσμο. Αιωνία η μνήμη σου!

    Ναι, σ'αγαπώ.

  • Incredible: true art on TV! It would be impossible today, in the barbaric age of the dumbing down...

  • Draag ik op aan mijn vermoorde dochter Eleni Chatzipetros die om het leven is gebracht in 1998 26 jaar oud God kind wat mis ik je,me ziel huilt om je iedere dag,

  • Maria bravo!!!!!!!!!!!

  • An absolute gem! Basically, priceless! Best live performance I've seen. Thank you so much for posting!

  • ORGASMATICO!!!!

  • Maria

  • Magnifico :) Una voce divina!

    Grazie.

    Luz

  • just superb, like an angel!!

    

  • why here is dislike???

  • It's beautiful! The divine voice and how much sense in her performance! GODDESS!

  • she is often presented to have had a sad life, in her childhood, in her lovers.

    I like to think that the journalists and the commentators have exagerated her despair to make her singing appear more tragic.

    Or maybe are we all miserable and she was only honest about it.

    The human soul cannot be satisfied with just a family, a house, the sun and comfort. As sad as it is. And the music is the catharsis that evacuates the frustration and the passion out of the soul.

  • @SELFlnsurance I think what they said is true. Callas was probably an unhappy person in her personal life, as much as I hate to admit it. However, I believe that is the price God extracted from her, when he made her " The Greatest Soprano Of All Time ". I don't know if that is what she wanted, but that is what she got.

  • UNICA Y IRREPETIBLE....HAY GENTE QUE DECIDAMENTE NO SE REPITE....

  • Божественно!!! Трогает до глубины души.Проникновенно,просто,трог­ательно!!!

  • True artistry at its most powerful and sensitive. What a time to have seen this. t

  • Divina was named the " GREATEST SOPRANO OF ALL TIME ", neither Netrebko or Gheorghiu made the top 20. Of the LIVING sopranos, Netrebko was rated number 1, with Gheorghiu somewhere further back in that group. The basis of rating was COMPARED TO CALLAS!! LMAO! Imagine the TIMES UK using Callas as the basis of rating!!! Not music, not opera, not voice, not stage presence. but only as compared to DIVINA OF ALL DIVINAS, SUPERSOPRANO SFOGATTO ASSOLUTA, INHUMANLY MAGNIFICENT, UNREACHABLE CALLAS!!

  • Go to Angela Gheorghiu honnoring Grace Bumbry at Kennedy Center to see for yourself Angelica sings the all entire audience crying. From now on just stick with Maria Callas live our GODESS alone. More then this do not post your commentary on Angela page and then reply to it. it sucks. if you don't like her it's fine because we do have a lot of people who like and appreciate her very much.just read the commentaries, you are allowed. I once love Maria as singer very much 'rest her soul in peace"!

  • If I'm not mistaken, this was the FIRST television broadcast in Europe. Who better to inaugurate the occasion than, THE GREATEST SOPRANO OF ALL TIME ??? Bear in mind that Callas was revered in Europe as if the Queen of England.

  • @Neanderthalgirl Hey ball-bagger, you're back!! Too bad Callas was, THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, that must kill you! Suck it deep.

  • Magnificence

  • PERFECTION!!!!!

  • How absolutely Wonderful that all these years later we can still be thrilled to the very core of our soul by the most Supreme &Excellent Prima Donna non-pareil ..Maria Callas.She lived & breathed every part she played. "Long Live Maria-The Magnificent ".

  • a modern GREEK godess

  • @agetaser Wake up! She 's an american opera singer not Greek. She is a 100% american produce. She came from Julliard School of music in Manhattan. I would like to hear a greek soprano cultivated on Greek schools if there's any. Look and listen to Angela Gheorghiu! This girl comes straight from Romanian School of music a communist one , and with no objection has been grabed an set on the stage of Covent Garden the next day to sing arias from famous operas.Read the Independent on youtube! Bla Bla

  • @alexliliryan LOL

  • I adore her voice

  • grande Opera....

  • Sarai sempre Divina. La tua voce genera delle vibrazioni nel corpo...non esiste poesia, la tua voce ti avvolge e ti incanta, le emozioni sono forti, non riesco a non piangere....grazie ancora Divina.

  • classe, bravura, presenza scenica straordinaria....e profonda emozione per chi ascolta!

  • duh - its a radio television BROADCAST - hence a microphone. the night before the fateful new years rome norma 58

  • great......

  • Credo che le sensazioni che si provassero ascoltandola dal vivo fossero paragonabili ad un orgasmo, una voce divina

  • La Callas e Bellini: due angeli.

  • the donkeys who votes 86 dislikes doesnt know about opera. A UNIQUE DIVA A GODES OF OPERA diserve only love.

  • De ne l'avoir jamais vue chanté parce que je suis trop jeune est un de mes plus grand regret.... :(((

  • I think it is quite rare for us to see Maria Callas sing with the assistance of a microphone on the stage except for her recording sessions at studios.

  • @Bluejeans0701

    This is probably a recording microphone, not connected to amplifiers. At many performances of classical singing which are being recorded, you can see a microphone on the stage.

  • Lei è divina ... come la musica di Bellini...

  • Le divinità scendono ogni tanto su questa Terra a consolare noi comuni mortali. Maria Callas era una di queste deità. Grazie per averci portato consolazione con le armonie della tua meravigliosa voce.

  • One of the fav. she is magnificent.

  • Kodiaclicker , you're dirty mother has a very bad character, causing many German people to dislike her. She also had a noxious plume of sulphuric gas emanating from her anal area. Your mother was known for her badness, and her horrible odor.

  • Callas, the greatest in dramatic and belcanto repertory, Victoria de los Angeles in lyric roles of Puccini and french opera, Schwarzkopf in Mozart. The sommit of XX century's soprano.

  • Θεά.

  • I just realized something. "spargi in terra quella pace che regnar, regnar tu fai, tu fai nel ciel", ok, no problem.

    if you put the words in order, you get "spargi in terra quella pace che tu fai regnar nel ciel".

    but the aria ends with a repeated "tu fai nel ciel" after a run on "ah si". this doesn't make sense. you can't separate regnar from tu fai. So it should end with "re-e-gnar ne-el ciel". IMHO

  • I wonder what she had right in front of her: was there an audience in this hall?

    the chorus looks nervous. come on people! it's the easiest chorus in opera!

  • @wattever333 It was posted on another site, that the people in the choruses were awe-struck that they were on stage with Callas. I don't know if that's true, but if you see some of the documentaries of Callas, where she is mobbed by the press, and read that she was revered as if the Queen of England, there might be some validity to that statment.

  • Divine!! Alll natural, no frillls, no add-ons or wipe-outs! Splendid but the interpretation recorded by Florence Ashley is a tiny bit superior...

    

  • Quelle voix!! L'émotion me gagne qd je l'écoute. Je ne peux me lasser de cette pureté.

  • Simplay beautiful! Supreme Maria!

  • What ever people say, as time goes by, she is a unique singer... I love her.

  • I love when she puts everytjhing into it..her whole self...she sacrifices for the music...

  • Quality television.

  • You've got to remember, this is the MTV generation. Who cares if the singer sings good as long as they look good trying.

    As for me, they've got to sound good first and look good second. And Maria Callas wins on both accounts. She's got that extra virtuosity that puts the icing on the cake.

  • @codifex Well said!

  • a real diva. we're so proud that this woman was born in Greece..

  • Callas, my everlasting love...

  • compare this to today's eurovision...

  • Assoluta

  • l'unico catanese decente nella storia

  • La regina La dama La Voca divina mi fa sempre venire brividi

  • @INTELIGENCIA666 that´s so true

  • Kallas -NEPOWTORIMAJA !

  • Слушал Нетребку,Монсерат,Каллас -лучшая!!!! Поет АНГЕЛ!!! КАЛЛАС НАВСЕГДА!!!

  • She is the best.

  • (Elisabetha611) Tut mir leid, aber Callas bist die besser Norma für mich und musik hat vielle emocional interpretation und Callas bist ein grosse DIVA in interpretation in vielle operas in welt und Maria Callas kein ein perfekt stimme, aber die frau singst mit herz in belcanto die frau Callas bist toll. Montserrat bist fantastich auch, Joan sutherland, Edita Gruberova, June anderson, Maria pia piscitelli und aderes bist sea toll auch, aber für Maria Callas in Norma opera bist besser immer.

  • I know there are technically better opera singers and it is hard to compare nor should we. But what I like about Maria Callas is the passion in her voice which to me is unique to her.

  • @LittleMsChachi And it is that unique quality that has spoken to the masses and has risen her to the status at which she will remain.

  • the clown jean paul gutier killed this music with his perfume advertise

    i lost years of life today money kills everthing

  • @Warregedaeh You are being assailed on all fronts!! You are a hyena surrounded by lions. We are bleeding you at every turn. Your demise is imminent!! You are now in a fight for your life!! Divina's defenders stab you all night long, with the " DAGGERS OF SPAM" !! As the Callas lionesses rip into you, I the killer lion, will lunge in for the final " DEATH BITE " to your neck, crushing your spine!!! Yes, it will be a night of glory for the Callas Pride!!

  • @Warregedaeh What would possess you to write such filth? Are you in trouble? Is there something we can do to help turn you into an actual human being? Really man, rock bottom, and then some...

  • Fuiste, eres y seguirás siendo la gran Maria Callas... La Divina!

  • Magnifique. Maria Callas est la plus grande cantatrice de tout les temps <3

  • Die besser Norma für mich in alle zeite.

  • @Elisabetha611 Caballe selbst stimmt dem nicht zu. Sie war, auch in der gloriosen Vorstellung in Orange, musikalisch wie stilistisch Callas, Ponselle und Sutherland unterlegen. Und dann ist da noch die göttliche Leyla Gencer, die 1965 die Norma glorios gesungen hat.

  • @Elisabetha611 All German people, near Dusseldorf!!! Please post the addresses of any conservatories in that area, so I can notify them that they have a sick person on their staff ( FILAREDO ). He is 49 years old, single male, and works as a recruiter ( young people ! ) . He needs to be removed from that position. He is bringing bad feelings against the German people, by his degenerate postings.

  • @Elisabetha611 Yes, the children of Dusseldorf must be protected against PREDATOR DEGENERATES such as you!! All German Callas fans must notify me of the mailing addresses of conservatories in your area, to save the children from your

    perversions!!!!

  • @filoredo You dirty SEX PREDATOR OF CHILDREN!! That is why you have a job as a recruiter. The conservatories around Dusseldorf will oust you now!! FILAREDO, 49 year old, single male, recruiter. Your days are numbered, SCHWINEHUNDT!!!
