Maria Callas will forever be the high priestess of Opera whose place will never be surpassed by anyone. She is still compared to other singers without success. She will forever be a Callas that no one can replace. Nobody cant double Callas she said herself. Its still so thrue.
Maria Callas WAS Tosca. The others sang Tosca. She set the bar too high. There is Maria Callas and then the rest of the pack trying to catch her. They haven't managed it in over 50 years. Proof? We are still talking about Callas in 2021 and not the others! RIP La Divina.
No one and I mean No One has been related to this.. This is brilliant, magnificent, like it's everything anyone can think of attempting to this kind of singing.. Well my fav is Joan Sutherland but when it comes to Callas I don't compromise, but legend will always be Her, the Queen of Opera, Maria Callas..
questa aria divina non è stata inventata da nessun compositore! è nata proprio come la chiamavano i callas! Mi rifiuto di riconoscere che dopo di lei c'era ancora un cantante d'opera di rango. Mai !!! la canzone originale della donna che supplicava l'amore e la pace, contro il potere e l'inesorabilità dell'incondizionalità maschile. perché continuare a fare il vegit quando ti è permesso di morire nel vero respiro di un tale cuore pieno di lacrime? oh callas, il mio amore eterno !!!
Fue un 19 de diciembre de 1958. El gran debut de la Callas en Paris. Estaba el “todo” Paris, incluyendo al presidente de la República. La Callas triunfó, a pesar de haber cambiado el programa varias veces. Finalmente triunfó total. La Callas, lo dijo ella, detestaba a Puccini y en especial a su Tosca, según ella misma, no era musical como el bel canto que ella había dominado siempre. Pero su Tosca es irreemplazable, habrán Toscas con más color en sus voces, talvez más dramáticas, pero no mejores actrices que la Callas. Cada paso que da, cada respuesta a Scarpia, parece haber sido hecho para ella. Y nadie volverá a decir como ella : “ e avanti a lui tremava tutta Roma”!!!!!!!!CALLAS LA DIVINA!!!!!
I only wish Puccini had lived long enough to see what these two greats made of their roles. None better ever. Although I don't know why Gobbi was given a profile out of a Parisian puppet show. It is just distracting.
She has a powerful ally in Tito Gobbi, but oh my god! She doesn't relent for a second: even during the applause following her soliloquy she remains totally in character, intense, shattered, and in the depths of desperation!
Creo que la Sra. Callas realmente VIVÍA cuando interpretaba sus personajes. Su vida ordinaria fuera del escenario era algo que no sabía interpretar y se limitaba a improvisar frente a un mundo del que le costaba enormemente ser parte. SU VIDA REAL era la que desarrollaba en el escenario. Era allí donde podía expresar la multiplicidad de sus más profundas emociones que el vida del todos los días tenía que ocultar, disimular. De ahí es que emerge su inigualable posesión dramática que NO se ve en otras cantantes con tal vez más bonitas voces. Desearía que emergiera una otra Callas con tal potencial de interpretación. Fué ÚNICA. Nos quedan al menos los registros de su enorme talento y sentida emoción.
The extraordinary success of Maria Meneghini Callas could appear, at first glance, to be one of the ... to read, and of whom--it is curious to note--only a small number has actually heard the voice which is at the root of this ...
For me, Gobbi invested too much into coming accross as a bully. I think smoothly deceptive is more appropriate. After all, he literally slips into Tosca's space and psyche in act 1, then, he builds toward his conquest through threat, barbarousness, and finally outright attempted rape in act 2.
D the Magneto Well think again. You have truly missed some of the best singing in the world and the best interpretation if you pass through without listening to Callas. There's a reason why all the female singers look and listen to her recordings because she is the standard that has yet to be surpassed. Once you hear her Lucia, Amina, Anna Bolena, Medea, Mimi, Tosca, Lady Macbeth, Aida, Norma, is there anyone else worthy to listen to? The answer to that question would be no!
Where did you get the idea that I passed without listening to those performances ? How could I have had an opnion about her, hadn't I listened to her performances ?
Well,Callas is Callas.I december Birgit Nilsson singing Viss d arte lying ön the floor.Singing superb without vibrato,like Tebaldi än with al beautiful high b and superb pianissimo.Some say Nilsson was too cold,she was not.Nilsson,Tebaldi were gloriuos Toscas,acting skilled opera sigers.Callas played her self.Nilsson show her round ,sexy boobs in the deep decollage.Nilsson had her own,real jewels in this role, not Swarowski.Nilsson and Tebaldi,huge voices without vibrato.No inte like them today.
