In the picture there’s Bernstein. It’s another concert with Salome

very elegant voice and manner

Ну наконец- то❤❤❤❤. Необыкновенная ритмическая четкость оркестра, вы только послушайте !

If he sang like this in front of me, I would have crossed him to Hades and back a thousand times. It's not hard to imagine how both Charon and Cerberus were lured by this Orpheus...

Hard to believe that she sang this opera the very first time in the same week that she sang Wagner's Brünnhilde in Die Walküre!

I had the pleasure of singing with the late Ms Nadler many years after this wonderful class. She was a lot of fun to work with and it was undoubtedly a "voice and a half", a very powerful and fairly flexible mezzo. But she was never really at home on the top of her range and Eboli is notoriously tricky because it was actually composed by Verdi for one mezzo (Rosine Bloch) and then when plans changed, finished off with a very different singer, Pauline Gueymard-Lauters, in mind. That explains the divergent characters and tessiture of the the "Veil song", clearly for a lighter, more flexible voice (Bloch) and "O Don Fatale" for a far more powerful and dramatic instrument (Gueymard). Not that Sheila would have ever done the role on stage-- the voice was just too short on top and she always billed herself as a contralto. But isn't Ms Callas amazing! Even with the remains of her voice, and close to the end of her career/life, she could summon up the many facets of Eboli's mercurial character.

Meraviglia!

... Well, ...She certainly told him ! 😀

¡Que gran artista! Creo que no se le ha prodigado aún el reconocimiento debido a María Ewing. Sólo piensen en: Cherubino, Carmen, Dido, Salomé, Donna Elvira y Rosina.....de excepción, de referencia, con magia vocal y actoral..... roles tan dispares y tan bien realizados. Aquí, en Dido te hace olvidar de todo, es de una entrega y sensibilidad estilistica además, que lo vives!❤

Está música es perfecta.Maria y Bellini, genios.

Excelente ❤

"It's not my aria." Every aria is her aria.

Unbelievable!!

É trade market sua voz.

She just pierces the heart!!!

Quick word of an advice: you need to get some earmuffs when he's going for the longest note.

As charming as this clip is, I feel it also gives insight to the basis of her technique which was genius. We can hear she isn't opening up and singing super loud but rather she is keeping everything small and controlled which is like a spring board to then sing big in the same way - hence the dramatica coluratura label.. seems like singers today don't have control over their instruments the same way,,

Wao !

Это круто!!!!!!

3:36 3:48

Caballe , Corelli e Cesare Siepi. Come avrà fatto il teatro a non crollare a seguito degli acuti dei protagonisti e delle ovazioni del pubblico. Serate magiche.

Superb. I have never heard a better rendition-never. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with the rest of us.🙏🏼

The finest version I've ever heard

Adorata Maria Callas ❤️

quelle voix magnifique, une telle emotion ! merveilleuse Maria Ewing

She have different voices in every language she spoke, greek, english, italian, french

I now realize conductor Molinari-Pradelli sped up the tempo just a tad to the end. I wonder if this had been prearranged with Caballe? Some conductors slow it up to flaunt the "Verdi tragic chords" ....which would've made it harder for MC to do this!

Montserrat Caballé is the original Diva. She's always been my favorite soprano!

She’s not hitting a high note at 2:52 but oddly there’s an overtone that makes it sound like she is

Verdi himself would've stood up and cheered!

crystal shattering

That freakin sent shivers down my spin

I wish she had stopped performing on time. She didn't need the money or the embarrassment of coming on stage with a zimmer frame (walker) under her dress and croaking. So very very sad. I spent a fortune on tickets and truly wanted to leave, I was so disappointed. She destroyed her image.

Who sings the role of the the supposed Charles V ?

Lenny was pleased.

Qué chorro de voz. Me recuerda un tifón que azotó mi barco en los mares del Sur.

MARAVILLOSA ❤

Maria’s speaking voice is very soothing…deep & commanding, but still soft and feminine. She does speak English here with a curious mixture of accents-Greek/Italian/British with a hint of American. This isn’t surprising considering that she was born in the U.S. and lived there until she was 13 and then moved to Greece where she received her musical education and spent a good chunk of her adult life in the UK and in Italy.

Am I imagining the pitch and breath issues?

E' il miglior mezzosoprano che avevamo!!!

What an amazing woman and artist. Simply a powerhouse on all fronts. ❤

This incredible ease with which she can reach the highest notes... I can't think of anyone that even comes close. Certainly one of the most beautiful soprano voices of all time.

It's Fantastic !!!

I read in the comments about "the girl": Sheila Nadler (RIP) was already 30 here. By the age of 30 Callas was already giving masterclasses in singing.

That's just a a noise...it's not singing

What a smart elegant lady! She had an intellect that matched her talent.

I forgot to breath when she got high 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂………What a powerful singer wow

It’s one of music history’s greatest virtuosic outbursts. I was seated in the Grand Tier and sweat the note flew over my head. An incredible feat which I will never forget.

An intuitive prodige, a natural genius!
