Vincenzo bellini (1801-1835)
Mira O Norma (Norma, Act II scene two)
Maria Callas (Norma) - Ebe Stignani (Adalgisa)
Coro e orchestra del teatro alla Scala
Conducted by Tullio Serafin
1954

ADALGISA
Mira, o Norma, ai tuoi ginocchi
questi cari tuoi pargoletti.
Ah! pietade di lor ti tocchi,
se non hai di te pietà...
NORMA
Ah! perché la mia costanza
vuoi scemar con molli affetti?
Più lusinghe, ah più speranza
presso a morte un cor non ha...

ADALGISA
See, O Norma, at your knees,
these dear, dear children.
Let pity for them move you,
if you feel no pity for yourself...
NORMA
Ah, why do you try to weaken me
with such soft feelings?
Such illusions, such hopes
are not for one about to die.

ADALGISA
Vois, ô Norma, à tes genoux
tes chers petits enfants.
Ah ! prends donc pitié d'eux
si tu n'as pas pitié de toi-même.
NORMA
Ah ! pourquoi veux-tu affaiblir ma constance
par de doux sentiments ?
Un coeur proche de la mort
n'est plus sensible aux flatteries de l'espoir.

ADALGISA
Sieh, o Norma, hier zu deinen Füßen,
deine lieben, lieben Kinder.
Möge das Erbarmen für sie dich berühren,
wenn du mit mir schon kein Erbarmen fühlst.
NORMA
Ach, was willst du meine Entschiedenheit
mit solch zarten Empfindungen erweichen?
Solch trügerische Bilder und solches Hoffen
sind nichts für jemanden, der sterben will.

  • Ho ascoltato altri duetti prima di questo...tutto scompare di fronte a Maria...:::)))

  • speechless

  • **Simdaperce** Cette femme est une légende. Quelle belle voix .. Je ne peux pas oublier ce malheur que avec Onassis. Grec et tragique. Une tragédie de cette union! Callas souffre grandement. Mais pas encore terminée. La voix de tous âges. Merci

  • la plus grande, copiee, oui mais  jamais egalee

  • A Simdaperce, miles gracies! Tan precioso! Me llore'. Gracias!

  • @remoannetteginette

    E' certamente grande soprattutto per quegli anni quando forse i sistemi di insegnamento erano quello che erano. Ritengo che oggi non ci sia nessuno meglio di Anna Netrebko e, se ci fosse stata la Callas, sarebbe stato certamente una sfida fra titani. taf289
