1963 Callas Stuttgart Recital: 3. Nabucco- Ben io t'invenni... Anch'io dischiuso un giorno

3. Nabucco- Ben io t'invenni... Anch'io dischiuso un giorno

A late but wonderful Maria Callas recital. She's in relatively good voice and does some beautiful, colourful singing with the usual dramatic pathos & nuance. She is supported by Georges Prêtre & Suedfunk Sinfonieorchester.

She sings:

1. Semiramide (Gioachino Rossini)- Bel raggio lusinghier
2. Norma (Vincenzo Bellini)- Casta Diva... Ah! bello a me ritorna
3. Nabucco (Giuseppe Verdi): Ben io t'invenni... Anch'io dischiuso un giorno
4. La bohème (Giacomo Puccini)- Quando m'en vo
5. Madama Butterfly (Giacomo Puccini)- Tu, tu piccolo iddio

The pictures are from a recital she sang in between two of her Lucia di Lammermoor performances at the Teatro San Carlo in March, 1956. (http://www.gbopera.it/archives/27 )
