There will NEVER be another Callas. To refer to her as merely a soprano is to vastly disrespect her. She had what is known as a "soprano svogato", which enabled her to sing virtually anything. She shattered the categories of coloratura, lyric, spinto, and dramatic soprano, and sang music written for all these four soprano voices. Imagine --- Norma, Traviata, Pirata, Bolena, Medea, Sonnambula, Lucia, Gioconda, Aida, Trovatore, Lady Macbeth, Turandot, Tosca, Rosina, etc. She WAS opera!!!!!!

She was ONLY italian opera. What she sang sings every soprano in the world as good as Callas, it's only italian opera crap.

Your response is very unclear. Your use of verbs and nouns make your message virtually useless. To call Italian opera "crap" says far more about you than it does about Italian opera. Please do not take the time to respond to this comment. I probably wouldn't be able to decipher it anyway.

A soprano "sfogato" is a soprano whose voice doesn't fit any of the traditional categories (dramatic, lyric, spinto, or coloratura) yet is able to encompass them all. This is a voice that is capable of taking on any kind of vocal writing and make it valid. Callas was really the only soprano of this kind since the days of Pasta and Malibran. A "sfogato" is a very rare type of voice --- and really lives on a planet of its own. It can't be compared to any other soprano voice. I

ご自分のレパートリーに、勿論入っていないこの曲にも、深い理解 を示して教えておられますが、驚嘆します。たった1回の来日でし たが、そのチャンスに巡り合った方は、人生最大の幸運のひとつで しょうね。
