From La Sonnambula by VINCENZO BELLINI (1801-1835)
Ah, non credea mirarti (Oh, I didn't believe to see you) si presto estinto, o fiore; (so quickly extinct, o flowers;)passasti al par d'amore, (you have passed away like love)che un giorno sol(o) duro. (that one day only lasted.)Potria novel vigore (Perhaps new life)il pianto mio recarti (my tears will bring to you)ma ravvivar l'amore (but to revive love)il pianto mio, ah no, non puo. (my tears, o no, cannot.)
Ah, non giunge uman pensiero (O, inconceivable human thought)al contento ond'io son piena: (a wave of contentment I am full:)a miei sensi io credo appena; (In my feelings I can hardly believe)tu m'affida o mio tesor. (you assure me, o my treasure [darling].)Ah, mi abbraccia, e sempre insieme, (O, embrace me, and always together,)sempre uniti in una speme, (always united in a single hope,)della terra, in cui viviamo (of the world, we live in)ci formiamo un ciel d'amor. (we will make a heaven of love.)

  • This IS really Bel Canto at his best.

    There is a Galli Curci quality to her singing, very mooving. What a Maestra!

  • You're right!! And then, we should shut down ALL of the opera houses because Callas (who didn't have the most beautiful sounding voice, just btw) is dead and thus NO one else can do opera. Attitudes like this are what is killing opera today.

  • Amazingly beautiful as she always was. R.I.P <3

  • How could anyone do this better? It is simply amazingly beautiful! Wow!

  • @Iareto sorry but how can you compare Callas to Parcells ??? Completely different voices in sound and quality. Parcells has a small clear voice but not very powerful , which makes all the difference. their timbre is also completely different too. Dont mean to undermine Parcells as I think her voice was very free flowing and clean but Callas' technique , sound and mastery was unique.

  • She is singin good but to slow

  • Absolutely incredible!

  • exquisite

  • Браво! Очень музыкально! Легко!

  • In over 30 years of opera going I have never heard better quality singing. Wonderful voice, haunting, wonderful technique. I so regret never having seen her. Just sheer perfection in every way.

  • Brava!!!

  • Excellent !!!!!!!!! 5************
