Fascinating in that there is really nothing wrong with her voice. I think Gobbi was right when he said Callas lost confidence.

@WUTaTALENT She made her US debut in 1954 in Chicago after already having become a major star in Italy, and her last operatic performance in USA was Tosca at the MET in 1965, just few weeks before her last Tosca in London.

@WUTaTALENT This private recording was made in Paris at her home, while practicing for a possible return on stage, which never took place.

@WUTaTALENT And her last operatic performance was in London in 1965. After 7 years of retirement she went for a couple of years in a world (also US) tour recitals of arias and duets with tenor Giuseppe di Stefano, who was at that time also her lover, after she had been left by Aristotele Onassis who had married Jacqueline Kennedy in 1968. She last sang in public in Japan in 1975.
Thank you so very much for replying, and so swiftly! Was her very first performance in America? and her last...was it here as well? Is she still alive? I heard that she taught for awhile...How many years did she perform live and how old was she when she did here last stage performance??/ Thanks! Your post has raised many questions for me. I am grateful for your time. Thanks, Kristen

Are you saying that the music on your video is the last public music she sang? Can you be clear? I am curious. Thank you...also, what is your source for this statement? Again, just curious. I am a big fan of hers. Thanks.
