Maria Callas was such a great artist, she didn't even need to sing to imprint drama to her performances and this video is a witness to that great amazing ability she had to convey feelings just by being on stage. The amazing 1:37 of prelude are just a great preamble to her amazing vocal range, beautiful voice and sweet countenance. She was somebody people enjoyed listening too and looking at. Maria Callas was indeed divine!
I was completely drawn in before she even sang her first note.... a compelling performance. I am so grateful that this is on here for all of us to see and learn from.
@sofiacmattos "Tu che le vanita conoscesti del mondo" ( It means You, who knows the emptiness of the world) from Don Carlos by Verdi. It is toward the end of the Opera. Elisabetta de Valois, Queen of Spain is invoking God to keep the Infante, Don Carlos safe (from the wrath of the Inquisition) and at the same time saying that life is coming to the end of the road for her. Sang as well as here and with such great artistry, it is an extremely moving aria.
@sofiacmattos a pleasure.. but a much better Callas recording of this aria from 1958 is also on YT. She was in much better voice then and although it is a studio recording which doesn't give you the atmosphere of a live performance, it is from every technical point of view exceptional. It is a shame that they never recorderd the whole opera of "Don Carlos" which she performed at La Scala in 1954. That would have been wonderful but sadly it was not done.
I just love her expressions. It's hard to act, but just stand there, mute, relying solely on your body, nothing else, to express the music. Makes me wonder why nobody ever recorded her acting in a live opera.
I'm looking for new singers and I don't want to sound like the ultimate cliché but Maria Callas is still my favorite Opera singer by far. There is simply no one like her. I don't what it is.
@thewickedzirenita on another Callas video someone suggested it's the wildness she has in her voice--she never tamed her voice, and every word she sings bleeds with firey emotion... and I think I'm in the same boat as you, she's just an incredible, beautiful artist
@9raider I personally like it a lot and I love Callas. The reason why some people don't respond to Callas the way you and I do is that they like beauty of the voice above all and prefer opera singers with more conventionally beautiful voices like say Caballe. It's an issue of what one finds more important - beauty of the tone vs artistry. Callas was a total package, an artist who expressed every nuance of emotion as nobody else, but many find her voice a bit harsh, too metallic.
@COONY1875 Exactly! When I was a teenager I had a number of her old opera recordings that also included the liberetti so I could follow. Callas wasn't just a singer singing a role, she transformed herself into a character with her voice (face and body too, but there aren't many of the videos left). When I listened to her in roles of tragic heroines I could feel their emotions and their pain, I heard Lucia, Norma, Violetta....
One thing I love about this performance is her entrance & acknowledgement of the audience (just before this aria). The way she takes a moment to smile to the boxes both to stage left & stage right was so charming: even such a small detail before the music itself shows her genius for stagecraft (IMHO). Around the time of her performance in Boston in 1974, one vocal instructor & former opera performer said: "it was worth the ticket price just to see her walk out on stage."
Hoy a Callas por primera vez en la grabación de Il Ballo in Maschera, no entendi ese momento lo que era la pasión por el ARTE. Pero dejo en mi el amor por su voz, su interpretación y todavía la admiro como la primera vez que la oí en Amelia.
Maria Menganini-Callas, was one of the most supurb italiana suprano that Italia and the world could have. Oh yes there were good supranos that came along after her death in 1977AD, but as far as I am concern there has not been any that could top her along with one of her most favorite tennors that she demanded the opera businnes to have on hand--Guiessepa De Staffano. Callas was a very very picky suprano and she had her pickings of tennors that she would preform with.
Callas was opera's most expressive, most elegant, most articulate artist. Opera has had many stars, but Callas has no peer with the possible exception of Caruso.
This was absolutely beyond gorgeous. I cant even imagine how she could pull off, not only just singing this song, but feeling it as much as she did. I will never be able to come close to singing any song with such passion. She could move a mountain to tears. There will be no one like the one and only Maria.
@TheNuznuz No, I am not. I saw and heard Barbara Padilla in person this past Oct. 2nd in San Angelo, TX. Her voice is HUGE! But don't take my word for it, just watch this video:
the comparison with Callas is inappropriate. Callas is not only a voice (unique voice). she is a total art, great actress, intelligence and musical culture. the Padilla is not a great artist. technically has a bad voice control, even in the central registry. moments when he faces a particularly difficult song completely turns away from acting, appearing often in distress. does not do justice to the beautiful and complex work of Puccini.
@Nougatpralinchen you obviously do not know what you're talking about, so please continue to follow the stupid singers today that the theater offers us, that would not even worthy of polishing the shoes of the great interpreters of the past (not just Callas). I do not think you are Italian. I am, OPERA is a huge part of history and Italian culture, the performers should expect the best because the authors have given us the most.
Even if she didn't sing a note she would be the most expressive artist of all time. Just look how she captures the character of Elisabetta through that long orchestral introduction. Who cares if one or two notes jarr a little , we are witnessing one of the most intensly felt and beautiful performances ever given on an operatic stage. She was peerless.
@Tenortalker yes i agree, it's not only her singing, its actually more her whole performance. Her singing is "good", but the expression on her face, her acting, is absolutely brilliant. She is a legend.
She is amazingly expressive, very nuanced; she makes very word believable. Sure, it may not be the most beautiful voice, but she can show the emotions like nobody else.
Her performance still commands a sense of excitement & touches the soul of the audience. Others may have had a more pleasing voice, but she had the inner-fire & theatrical intensity that gave meaning & thrill to her art. As the San Francisco Silent Film Festival motto indicates, "True art transcends time." And Maria Callas did that to perfection! Viva Callas!
@Elisabetha611 As Rose Kennedy said, "Who are the Kopechne Family & why do they hate me so?" They have places for you (or did before Ronald Reagan, as governor of California, dismantled them)!
@Elisabetha611 Doesn't count, I started it first on your MOTHER. Damn, she's a good ol' whore! She sucks cock like a SHOP-VAC!! I like pissing on her hair, it makes her smell funny!
@Elisabetha611 Your comments do not count, I started on your mother first. YOUR MOTHER is a good ol' whore, she sucks , swallows, and licks it clean, all for only $2.00!
Your MOTHER has too much cum and shit on her clothes, she smells like hell!! Yes, she does give a good $2.00 Blow-Job Special, swallowing and licking clean, but she has too much cum on her, she stinks!!
I almost collapsed with laughter when your MOTHER started to gag on my big load!! LMAO!!! She did finish though, licking my hog clean. What a good ol' whore your MOM is!! God bless her, she could suck a golf-ball through a garden hose!!
she makes it look so effortless! You watch some Soprani today, and it looks like it's taking all of their strength to do even just half of what La Divina can do!
@vahisern Your MOTHER has been boozing a lot lately, while giving her $2.00 Blow-Job Special. She almost gagged on my big load, and my big hog. She did swallow the whole load, and licked it clean. I liked pissing on your MOTHER'S back afterwards. She was so drunk she didn't even know what was going on. What a fucking old whore your MOTHER is. A piece of human shit, and she smells like it!!
no. hardly divina with those wobbly top notes. Any other singer would be roundly criticized. But the Callas mystique rules out even the auditory nerves. There are so manybetter renditions, even by her
Hardly. As you can guess by my YT name, Elisabetta is a fave role. I heard and saw many of the greats live and on disc in this role. No one matches her dramatic intensity, phrasing and musicality.
It's in the middle section of this aria that Callas show her true genius. There have been sopranos that make something great of the opening lines and then just sort of float around in the middle section until the opening theme returns and they can take off again...Callas makes MUSIC of that section, finding the line and shape of the phrase through perfect rhythm and fabulous sense of pitch...it's a masterclass in interpretation...and the color she finds are always amazing.
What a beautiful and committed Artist. Thank you, Maria, for your devotion to your art and all the inspiration you gave and continue to give to humanity!
@ferricskin Ponselle is No19?? Where did you find that statistic? Since reading your comments, I listened to a few of her performances, and I think she has such a beautiful voice! If that's true, then she's seriously under-rated! I'm new to the world of opera so I'm not that much of an opera connoisseur.
WOW!!!! I AM COMPLETELY AWESTRUCK BY THIS WOMAN. Everyone's been saying that she's the greatest soprano of all time...now I'm absolutely certain of that as well. Except for Pavarotti, I've never heard such a magnificent, beautiful voice as this...so much power and projection, so much clarity of diction, and perfect breathing control. Not to mention her vast vocal range.
And then to top it all off, she was such a BEAUTIFUL woman as well!
@Horseshoe4441 There's a pregnant sow named Netrebko, expecting her second ugly thing. She used to be cute, now she is fat, and ugly. Who cares anyway, when we have the greatest soprano of all time here......The Magnificent Callas!!
Her sense of rhythm saves an already overworked voice. There are 5 or 6 very acidulous tones in the beginning that are very painful to listen to. Then she seems to warm up and does a magnificent job. Her top notes are approximated, but her commitment to the Verdi melodramma always wins us over, and she is so beautiful to behold, who cares? It's obvious that with the distraction of Il Gnomo in her life (Onassis) that her work was no longer an obsession, the way it had to be to make her famous.
Alla Callas basta una sillaba per far comprendere il significato della sua Arte inimitabile. Ascoltate bene come dice quel "si" dopo Carlo quì verrà! Incredibile. Non è piu' la CALLAS ma Elisabetta di Valois! Dopo di lei il silenzio!
Nessuno canterà mai piu' quest'aria con questa intensità, il dramma di Elisabetta è tutto nella sua voce. Ogni nota è un colore, ogni frase è scolpita, e destintata agli dei.
Elisabetta di Don Carlo,... è ancora più difficile dell´aria di Eboli, lo so per esperienza... Le frase musicale sono lunghissime, è di una belleza unica quest´aria. Ma Maria... a, Maria. Ci sono due cantante al mondo con l´universo nella golla: Piaf e Maria o Maria e Piaf.... cosa prefferite?
Callas here closer to the end of her career than to her prime. Top notes are ugly, although no doubt of her passion for the music. Her instrument simply no longer responds as before.
you wouldn't end the Callas-Netrebko battle and you breaks the agreement. 3 days we don't wrote comments on Callas sites but you bash Netrebko on and on.
Come on, dirty swine, answer our questions!! COWARD!!!
Question:
Why Callas' child Omero was still-born? Why she was the first opera whore and greatest shame of opera?
What a fucking DOUCHE-BAG!! This bitch walks out there like shes' all that. Fuck her! She's dead now, and ugly without make-up. Her tits ain't that good either, all pushed up!! She gets MASSACRED by the critics, and cancels. Ugly bag of douche, with a dead born kid. She ain't shit compared toevery other soprano. She's a
glam-pera piece of shit greek sow! She is only good for ass-fucking, and nothing else.
Boring as compared to whom? Brittany Spears? PUH-LEASE! Let us remember that this woman was expected to be heard OVER the orchestra and fill an entire opera house WITHOUT AMPLIFICATION! While she sometimes sacrificed "prettiness" for emotion, no one has come close to her scope and skill in the fifty some years since her death.
GOOD NEWS dear Callas fans!!!! Striker capitulates! The automated production of feces is over. He's a nervous wreck because the great Filaredo gang has destroyed the white knight on his black donkey. Striker, you are alone in a hopeless plight!Go home and lick your wounds!!! Hoohooohaahaahhhaaa..... what a wonderful world...!!! Striker is only a picture of misery.....LOL
even though i can't stand most of opera, i think that her voice was exceptional. However, I'm happy to learn about singers who are better according to your opinion (and there must be tons of them based on what you're saying)
the fact that such perfection existed in one being at one point is stunning.

There have been sopranos that make something great of the opening lines and then just sort of float around in the middle section until the opening theme returns and they can take off again...Callas makes MUSIC of that section, finding the line and shape of the phrase through perfect rhythm and fabulous sense of pitch...it's a masterclass in interpretation...and the color she finds are always amazing.

I know, you're no opera connoisseur but a ranking who Ponselle is only the No19 don't count for every serious opera fan.
You know, Pavarottie said that the greatest was PONSELLE she was the "Queen of all Queens" in all of singing.
Maria Callas said " I think WE ALL KNOW that she is simply the GREATEST SINGER OF US ALL.
What does that tell you, SIR???

@ferricskin BBC Music Magazine labeled Maria Callas "the greatest soprano of all time". Argue against that.

Yes and Ponselle is No19.
If you believe to be a opera connoisseur .... what does that tell you?
ferricskin 1 year ago
@ferricskin Ponselle is No19?? Where did you find that statistic? Since reading your comments, I listened to a few of her performances, and I think she has such a beautiful voice! If that's true, then she's seriously under-rated! I'm new to the world of opera so I'm not that much of an opera connoisseur.

WOW!!!! I AM COMPLETELY AWESTRUCK BY THIS WOMAN. Everyone's been saying that she's the greatest soprano of all time...now I'm absolutely certain of that as well. Except for Pavarotti, I've never heard such a magnificent, beautiful voice as this...so much power and projection, so much clarity of diction, and perfect breathing control. Not to mention her vast vocal range.
And then to top it all off, she was such a BEAUTIFUL woman as well!
She is the Master Jedi Knight of Opera!!

Her sense of rhythm saves an already overworked voice. There are 5 or 6 very acidulous tones in the beginning that are very painful to listen to. Then she seems to warm up and does a magnificent job. Her top notes are approximated, but her commitment to the Verdi melodramma always wins us over, and she is so beautiful to behold, who cares? It's obvious that with the distraction of Il Gnomo in her life (Onassis) that her work was no longer an obsession, the way it had to be to make her famous.

Alla Callas basta una sillaba per far comprendere il significato della sua Arte inimitabile. Ascoltate bene come dice quel "si" dopo Carlo quì verrà! Incredibile. Non è piu' la CALLAS ma Elisabetta di Valois! Dopo di lei il silenzio!

Callas here closer to the end of her career than to her prime. Top notes are ugly, although no doubt of her passion for the music. Her instrument simply no longer responds as before.

you wouldn't end the Callas-Netrebko battle and you breaks the agreement. 3 days we don't wrote comments on Callas sites but you bash Netrebko on and on.
Come on, dirty swine, answer our questions!! COWARD!!!
Question:
Why Callas' child Omero was still-born? Why she was the first opera whore and greatest shame of opera?
You crappy woodman give us a answer!!!

why you don't answer on my questions?
Ok, new question:
1. Why Callas shouts like a donkey?
Answer:
Under the dress, between her elephant legs, jams a Pinocchio puppet and he sticks his nose into everything.
Pinocchio, the only man less than 70 years who sah Callas' greasy, smelly gap.

Boring as compared to whom? Brittany Spears? PUH-LEASE! Let us remember that this woman was expected to be heard OVER the orchestra and fill an entire opera house WITHOUT AMPLIFICATION! While she sometimes sacrificed "prettiness" for emotion, no one has come close to her scope and skill in the fifty some years since her death.
