C'est magnifique !

[dadote1978]

Magistrale meravigliosa :)

[jansoars1981]

Heavy voice or not, THIS is amazingly Gorgeous ! ! ! !

[jansoars1981]

Unbelievable!

[Fotofobica1]

Molto bello. Paura e speranza insieme.

[vjelis123]

Callas personaggio drammatico e tormentato anche nelle vicende umane personali.

[vjelis123]

Ho ascoltato tutte le arie registrate dalla Callas perchè ho frequentato l'opera di Roma con docenti universitari che mi hanno illustrato tutte le caratteristiche delle voci di  grido dell'opera lirica. In particolare un docente era grande ammiratore di Maria Callas di cui aveva seguito tutte le apparizioni pubbliche in Italia facendo i confronti con tutte le altre interpretazioni di grandi voci.

[giusragu]

Ottima idea quella di allegare anche il libretto dell'opera perché per molti le parole delle opere sono poco comprensibili.

[antoniopolito70]

unica nell'universo.... la divina

[rhmcvay]

I am so fucking tired of Ms Butterfly sacrificing here integrity and love of her son for that English piece of shit!

[inaspen]

@rhmcvay American, actually.

[minakontog]

@rhmcvay Then why are you still listening to it?

[rhmcvay]

I want to produce an alternative ending to Madame Butterfly with a mash-up of the aria finale with "Gonna wash tha man out of my hair" (South Pacific) - with Ms Butterfly boarding the boat of the English Imperialist Cad - and throwing him overnboad, taking command of the ship and riding off into the sunrise with her son - leaving the drowning husband in the wake! And, joining forces with the happy coule in the South Pacific! Anyone interested in co-producing???

[supremok]

que hermoso... simplemento bello... la melodia expresa por si misma la nostalgia, la anioranza, las ansias de la protagonista.... realmente!!!! que excelente version.... sin embargo... es muy triste... porq tiene q ser una opera tragica!!!!! Puccini!!! :(

[NOPRIVILEGECARD]

Non posso fare a meno di commuovermi e piangere ogni volta che sento quest'aria. Sconvolgente Maria Callas è una delle rare prove dell'esistenza di Dio. Almeno di quello della musica

[michele606060]

questa voce non è soave...è divina

[salvatoregiordano1]

@michele606060 -Daccordo con te! ma la Tebaldi..non è da meno!

[nymaeria]

@salvatoregiordano1 bravissima la Tebaldi, ma la Callas e' oltre.. una donna cosi' nasce una sola volta in un millennio!!

[floreaioana1]

Superba interpretazione, un'aria e una VOCE che ti prende il cor! In Romania amiamo moltissimo Puccini.

[cosasdfa]

I always cry with this song.

[simisimi9]

THE BEST BUTTERFLY...WELL, SHE WAS THE BEST IN EVERYTHING SHE SANG !!!!!

[neneorganico]

@simisimi9 Callas's Butterfly is bland, she makes the character a stupid woman, no power, no passion, she sings averything from head voice, her voice is very light for Puccini. Her assumption of the role is artificial and so boring.The voice as always does not respond well, the middle is too covered and the top unsteady and awful as always. Callas attempted to sing Butterfly and she sang only three performances. She debuted the role in Chicago in 1955 and it was debut and farewell altogether

[minakontog]

@neneorganico I can see that you don't like Callas' interpretations and this is a matter of taste. But before expressing an expert opinion, listen to other Callas' recordings and you'll find out that Callas didn't have a light voice in general. She made her voice in this particular role sound light on purpose. According to the story, Butterfly was only 15 years old when she met Pinkerton and 18 when she was waiting for him to come back. So she SHOULD have a light voice, she was just joung girl.

[simisimi9]

@neneorganico did you read to what MINAKONTONG wrote?? the role NEEDED a light voice. From what i have read, this recording is considered a miracle of interpretation...and that is said by people that knows about Opera !!!!!!!!!!!!

[minakontog]

@simisimi9 That's why she became and still is the most famous soprano in the world!!!

[ivadoktorka]

Insuperabile... ti toglie il fiato. Mentre ti fa respirare il cuore.

Grazie.

[amplifiedsilence]

this lady is a big reason why this underground hip hop fan bought season tickets to his local opera this year. :-))))

[laurentheko]

god, her voice is so sad.

[kitsunegari88]

Callas and Puccini...This is beauty!

[odgovori]

Göttlicher Puccini Danke

Göttliche Maria Callas  Thanks vor ever !!!!!!!

[piernas3]

qué buena es María!

[LordMalakhay]

Un bello dia veremos, one beautiful day we shall see, this is a heartbreaking opera and Mrs. Callas is divine.

[antonia16enero]

por siempre

[Fonseca429]

Maria Callas is and will be always the best!

[abracadabranque]

Beaucoup d'intelligence dans la lecture et l'interprétation.L'aigu final est moins pénible que prévu...Grande artiste!

[sororjvana]

Madame Buterfly rules!

[terrybeaton]

There seems to be a cult of Callas going on here. Let's not forget that she had short comings too. Her lower register for instance could be quite "Ducky" at times. And her scales were not the best in the world either. All in all, she was the best, but let's not make her a god as has been done with so many great artists (and other popular figures)!

[Yucko000]

Callas Forever

Beautiful!

[carmelo061944]

perfetta come sempre(divina)

[robertdamico1]

Beautiful!

[MrArthurovenezuela]

pero su voz no se adapta al canto sentimental...suena una voz árida y sus agudos son cascados y no es tampoco una voz idónea para Cio-cio-san. Hay algunos personajes que le quedan mejor.

[MrEMMY2000]

I LOVE U CALLAS !!

[averof247]

3:52 goosebumps on the tears of my ears...

[IGotTheChatlogz]

Oh yeah! We're supossed to believe black music got soul! This is soul music! Not in a genre sense but this has more soul than anything! I'm not Italian can't understand Latin or Italian and this shit makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! Amazing!

[djdannyv1]

@IGotTheChatlogz

All my life it has been that way for me too.

DJDANNYV-LONG ISLAND

[CONGIUNZIONEASTRALE]

@IGotTheChatlogz i don't think the words matter it's the passionate and fantastic voice of the Callas that help you enter a new dimension!

[kaneret60]

Какой прекрасный и удивительный голос, о Боже!

[MrArthurovenezuela]

No tiene la voz, ni el acento adaptado al canto sentimental, además no es una Butterfly genuina. Su voz se aviene mejor a otros roles. Y el final del aria falto de calor. Basta escucharla sin apasionamiento y se darán cuenta perfecta de esto.

[Landhausneues]

@MrArthurovenezuela , Pues desde mi punto de vista creo que tiene el acento, y q le pone mucha mas pasion q otras.

[Luishectorgerbaldo]

@MrArthurovenezuela ¿Que versión te parece la mejor?

[Greicy205]

Que hermoso...

[1Profion]

ecce magnificienza!

[joelflorew]

se parece a algunos tango en algunas partes de la cancion

[cazoleton]

INCREIBLE¡¡¡¡¡¡

[KanonMiyazaki]

I love the image.. it's perfect to this Opera...

but it's so tragic >_< finally, Pinkerton didn't return to Japan because of Cio-Cio San although she expected it... he didn't love her :'(

Living GODA CALLAS

[Zeppolino100]

If only Puccini could have heard his operas sung by Callas......

[robertoeleei]

@Zeppolino100  el la escuchó. la compuso para ella.

[fedayn12]

una delle poche prove dell'esistenza di Dio, la voce di Maria Callas

[LeCommedieDellArte]

@fedayn12

Si, è vero!

[ciccipuccy]

Non c'è niente da fare, come cantava la Madama Butterfly la Callas non la canterà mai nessuno...

[TatarInExile]

Who is this Madame Butterfly? I mean the lady in the picture, not the singer, who we all know is Maria Callas.

[TheNorelle]

BE STILL MY HEART I AM SO IN LOVE WITH PUCCINI ...MARIA YOU ARE BUTTERFLY.............I AM FOREVER IN AWE OF THIS OPERA MY HEART MY SOUL THANKS YOU FOR THIS ADIAMO x0x0x0

[terrybeaton]

Some are singers and some are Artists. Callas made the music better when she sang it. So much soul and sensitivity! And so intense!!

[bubaque2]

Una voce UNICA!!!!

[PedritoKie]

Puccini--- es que no hay palabras--.... en serio la tosca y madame butterfly ... es k es imposible expresar la preciosidad de sus composiciones...

[XBrU1nOX]

una de las mejores voces de todos los tiempos ...br1

[Tenorbravo]

Beautiful voice. It is very well suited and well performed. A very,very nice and heartful interpretation! Callas was born to sing Pucinni. It is easy for me to detect the pain that M.Butterfly is going through at this time when Maria Callas interprets this " area operistica " , La Divina Callas è sempre una emozione ascoltarla.

I fiori sono meravigliosi.: " A force of nature! Magnificent! ORIGINAL AND uNIQUE.

Absolutely pleasant. A delight to my ears. One of a kind. She was one of the best.

[easyeagle2]

I think the photo is absolutely stunning. A perfect choice for a beautiful voice.

[eaglesonofwill]

There are endless debates about how good Callas was. Her voice touches my soul: thats all I know. Callas' voice conveys the emotion of this aria with such sublime, authentic poignancy. In interviews, Callas came across as emotionally aloof & invulerable: a sterile snob: she totally excluded people. But when she sings - in total contrast - she calls from the profoundest emotional depths: expressing sublime generosity of soul & total vulnerability. I have never heard the like.

[extasisNOW]

Que bueno ha sido que hayas puesto la letra y la traducción. Gracias

[molarmama5]

Callas had a BIG crude voice and I do not care whom she knew.

[XBrU1nOX]

increible !!!!!!!!!!!! ...br1

[777albo]

am new to opera and have heard every other singer sing the same arias but no one comes close to her, am just entrenched at finding her voice , there is no one better

cava

[Takoushjanik]

Nice interpretation. Good full voice Callas.

[hunkhk]

what a fabulous interpretation but please the photo used here does not do La Divina justice at all

La mejor soprano de todos los tiempos viva Maria Callas

[MariaGraziaEsposito1]

Adoro l'opera e la Callas...a mio avviso la piu' grande cantante di tutti i tempi, sia per doti canore che per potenza espressiva...peccato che l'opera sia a fruizione di pochi...

[MariaAntoinetteF]

perfect interpretation as usual

[hayamatsuka]

this song should of been at the end when she killed herself. Its more heart aching.

[SalMessina1]

Ciao, Maria, mio grande amore...R.I.P.

Un forte abbraccio

Grazie

[shinawillful]

Actually, Jeff, the tragedy lies in the fact that Pinkerton marries Butterfly in a Japanese ceremony that meant everything sacred to her and nothing at all to him. He goes off, back to the States and marries a fellow American. Never considers butterfly until the couple visit Japan, then, hearing Butterfly has had his child, he decides to take the child from her. She has waited for him faithfully for years...Puccini had enormous empathy with his women characters - and women generally!

[funwithFred]

@shinawillful Oh, so true....Puccini, womanizer that he was, understood women and their pain and did have a tremendous empathy. I would have loved to have met him. When she sings this, she sees his ship come in from the hill she stands on above the harbor and with him his new American wife and knows there is no chance for her. For me, such sadness from the depths of a woman's soul is captured by Puccini more than any other composer.

[jeffdabates]

Great soprano, I think the term Diva was coined for her! Very sad aria, considering he wont leave his wife for her! One of the greatest.

Cuando Ley hai incontrato la morte? Quanti ani fa? Veramente in pace dove riposare...

[hydra333]

[gangoffour1]

Maria Callas- I am finding her completely addictive and it's a wonderful addiction. Such depth!

[Albatros2U]

When did she pass away? I am in profound and senseless solace to note her death. Will there ever be another of her graceful voice?

[gangoffour1]

Albatros: She died quite a while ago- I think the 1960s. You can Google her story. She was a real diva and young when she died. As for another voice- there is Monteserrat Caballe. Find her on u-tube because she is just as wonderful in her own way!

[ximenadore]

She died September 16 1977

[LohengrinT]

of course there will be. The Soprano Assoluta appears once or twice every 100-150 years :) Lets hope we are alive till the next Rarest of all Human Beings appears again :)

[neoflyboy]

@LohengrinT nice to know that thing about the "Soprano Assoluta" you mentioned. I hope when education gives to every child the proper training and opportunities... that genius appearing rate will be more frequent. In other words... let's wait another 150 years :D

[LohengrinT]

@neoflyboy

it is all about Nature not education - such a phenomenon can only be created by Nature

[okwian]

@LohengrinT I disagree. You can perfect perfection. Listen to the 12 year old Callas sing this same aria and hear the difference years of work make. But I agree with your main point. God made that voice and years of practice perfected it.

[LohengrinT]

@okwian

that wasnt callas ;)

[okwian]

@LohengrinT Maybe not but she started her formal training when she was 13. She was singing before then.

[LohengrinT]

@okwian

it is callas in the opening interview (perhaps) but noway and in the aria that follows

[Redboy4]

@LohengrinT We are still waiting. Thank goodness there are recordings.

[LohengrinT]

@Redboy4

exactly, that is why all the wannabes find it so difficult to prove themselves - because of the recordings - because not matter what groups say the Callas Phenomenon is unrepeatable up to now. None of them even came close to Callas' singing - not a single one

[Popi80s]

I don't know how many times I've listened to this record and every single time it makes me wonder: how can she be so wonderfully perfect?

[Medea59]

Ist es nicht egal, welcher Nationalität Maria Callas war? Ihre Musik hat sie international werden lassen. Und unsterblich!

[cristina1841]

BEAUTIFUL SONG, BEAUTIFUL PICTURE

[okwian]

She is supposed to enunciate properly and she does it beautifully and with such emotion she became La Divina. Her 'bel canto' is what made her great. And you cannot speak Italian with an Asian accent. At least not in opera and be allowed to perform. Even Asian sopranos roll their Rs and speak the language correctly.

[okwian]

Yes, she had Greek parents but was American born (NYC) and was trained initially in Greece then Italy. I don't know about her living in France but the majority of her training was Greece then Italy.

[Redboy4]

Maria did not live in France most of her life. She was born in NYC to Greek parents, then as a young teen went with her mother back to Greece where she trained, and made her first performances. After a short return to the US she went to Italy and began what she called her "big career." She gave up her U.S. citizenship in the 1960s for Greek citizenship. Her last years were spent in France.

[okwian]

Correct. She went back to live with her father for awhile didn't she?

[Redboy4]

Yes, and to audition for opera roles in the U.S.

[Oldenways]

If nobody knows, Maria Callas was French with Greek origin.

[okwian]

Where did you get that? I thought she was born in NY to Greek parents and went to Greece and Italy to train. I think she is Greek.
