@normallawrence That comment was amazing.
-
I admire your enthusiasm for Callas. Tell us of your personal experience in the opera house with La Divina.
-
@rockandbluesboy very good my friend, glad to hear you are a tenor., so you know what the singing is suppose to be. Definitely all what you say about callas is true and her voice went down and finally get broken, that was the price for assuming all the roles , nobody done that before, nobody after (at least in callas,s way : singing to the fullest)

in italy, I'm in the conservatory of music, I study opera as I'm a tenor, Callas was great, a genius in her own... very smart, she used to sing some roles a little slower so her colloratura would be bright and clear!! we all know callas had a heavy voice for a soprano, as she was a dramatic one!! with a wonderful colloratura!!... she sang it all, which is not a bad thing, but trust me!! it damage your voice like fire!! going through all this roles, Mezzos to High colloratura is a killing thing
-
@rockandbluesboy totally agree , but I was talking about how much callas brought to the Opera as art in every single roll, since callas several rolls were not the same again : Traviata, Norma, Medea, many ... she broke the mold and made a new one and the opera world changed widely too thanks callas personality and conception of the opera as something beyond music and lyrics. price did the same but in a level may be not that universal , but as a woman and fighter of course she wins
-
@MrLuis85698 that's true, and it is because we love the fragile woman part of callas!! but I'm more into Price, as I see myself as a Warrior, and Price... that woman was a fighter!!!!
-
@rockandbluesboy even knowing miss Price without any doubt will remains in eternity CALLAS will always represent the biggest name Opera ever heard nothing will change that fact
-
Music and beauty at the heart of self expression.. this is the message I take and its the lesson I always knew. An interview of timeless truth.
