      What made Callas so great was her infinitely superior technique and musicianship. This is was made her capable of inhabiting her roles so completely on an emotional level. It wasn't something that just "happened" on a spontaneous emotional level, it was the result of many years of incredibly hard work.

    The “in the know” … know. They are very aware Luchino Visconti made Callas reach her full acting potentials like he made Zeffirelli reach his- Since she is not here to tell us her story, lots of people abuses her character, persona for personal gains… perhaps Zeffirelli was among those people at some point of their life. The impression is that many around her gained from her presence more than what she did gain from them….and Onassis is to be included in that mix!

Her extraordinary voice and her acting ability evoked genuine tears and never-ending applause in her audience worldwide. She is still being applauded to this day. She was a force of nature. We are grateful for the beauty of her voice and also for her existence, brief though it was. The legend lives on. Rest in Peace, Madame Callas. Thanks for your contribution to the operatic world and to the pantheon of world culture!

  • @Aspett0
    @Aspett0 4 роки тому +40

    At 23:56 ... You're thinking of Visconti. He staged Vestale, Sonnambula, Ifigenia, Traviata and Anna Bolena especially for Callas. He was the one to help her fulfill her potential as an actress (just look at the rehearsal pictures from la Vestale in 1954). Apart from Il Turco In Italia in 1955 (which was not a huge success), Zeffirelli only worked with Maria Callas later on and would stage Norma and Tosca for her in Paris and London in 1964/1965. I really don't understand why this program is constantly referring to Zeffirelli as a sort of Pygmalion to Maria Callas. Elvira de Hidalgo, Tullio Serafin and Luchino Visconti were her Pygmalions and teachers. Zeffirelli wishes he was one of them, but he really didn't have that kind of influence over Maria Callas' career and répertoire.

      I suspect that they were confusing Callas for Sutherland. Because Zeffirelli worked extensively with Sutherland in her first Lucia di Lammermoor in 1959, to help her develop dramatically (which unfortunately she never really did).

    I sometimes think Maria was too polite. She should have extended her middlefinger to the naysayers. If any of them could sung the historic roles, why didnt they. She had a gift that was greater than herself, - she knew it and very few understood it. The maestra should have been granted a little more support in her years of vocal decline. It came about her commitment to give the world what was forgotten for more than a hundred years. She served her purpose. Her personal life, eventhough much in the public eye, became an angle to attack her as a flawed human being, as most of us are. If educated opera directors and opera houses aknowleged this womans phenomenal skill set and musical gifts, who is to report about all kinds of non important instances. La divina rest in peace. Lets remember her for what matters most, Maria Callas the voice never to be forgotten.

Callas does not do dull. Visconti not Zeffirelli (who was a young upstart then and only did one production with her in her prime) was the one with whom she did her Great La Scala productions. He worked with her on her theatrical Artistry. Please.

    The only human on her was that love killed her heart. She wasnt from this world. This planet cant "afford" something from another dimension, so "nature" will find a way to exterminate it, to restore the "balance". Thats why she left that early. Opera has two periods, before Callas and at her reign. NOTHING after. She raised the bar that high, that nobody will ever gonna reach it. We dont have here just music and singing abilities, we have most of SOUL. She was Medea, she was Norma, she was Tosca, she was Lucia, etc etc. when she performed. She embraced every role that above and beyond any perfection, that EVERYBODY else sopranos after her are just followers. One and only. La Divina.

    @orion8835 3 місяці тому +1

    A sfogato soprano is a very rare thing. It has been a challenge to find the words to describe this type of sound similarly that of the ling lost castrato. It is a voice that combines the voice female fachs of smooth lyric the large dramatic, the also profundity and coloratura agility and acuti notes. All of those fachs types in a dark veil of a singular voice. Its very difficult to describe in any language Callas and her vocal delivery. Very much allued in a Mediterranean tone of course but she possesed this freakish sfogato classification. She has not been the only one who has this, yet she remains dominant and the best example for good reason.

      Visconti was the great director of Maria Callas in her greatest stage appearances : Traviata, Ann Boleyn, Lucia di Lammermoor, Glück's Iphigénie, etc.
      He attended all her performances in his private box at La Scala as Coumt Luchino Visconti. He adored her.
      Zeffirelli was a stage decorator, second-hand to Luchino Visconti.
      He did stage her last trafic Norma in Paris....

      @@marie-claudeelsen2141 Not just omitting Visconti’s significant impact on Callas as an actress, the information between Zeffirelli and Callas is not all truth. It seems like It is on purpose to give credit to Zefrelli instead of Visconti because the Zefrelli Foundation is involved in this film.
      These people in the fiim, the way they talk is like they met Callas in person. But some of them may not even born when Callas died in 1977. The information of these so called document is just repeating what you can find from other previous documents. I would not recommend anyone to watch this “Perspective” due to the misinformation.

    迫力がある素晴らしいステージで心に残る。
    でも、彼女の人生が幸せだったようにみえない。
    彼女の素晴らしい歌と演技は彼女の魂と生命を搾り取って生まれてるような印象がある。

    It was sexism at every turn that messed her up: from her mother who had wanted a son, to Ghiringhelli & Bing who were irrational, emotional types who had more power than she, to Onassis who was the classic controlling mansplaining jerk. And of course the public who always expect a woman to correct every flaw in herself and others.

      I’m so surprised it took me scrolling through so very many comments before coming to one which cuts through to the truth of it. She had an amazing gift, incredible strength and drive but was ultimately betrayed by her most important relationships, unfortunately mostly men but some women. I have seen many of her interviews and the media painted her, not as a driven talent, but as a temperamental unfulfilled woman with all of the negative and degrading assumptions that conjures. If she lived in a different era, with better support, I’m sure we would have seen the true extent of her talents. Shame on the world😞

    My Mother once told me that Oanasis destroyed her emotionally by dumping her after years of being together, for Jackie O. After that Callas was never the same.

    Around 60's all beautiful women in the world bumped into Onasis. He played his game globally. Elizabeth Taylor was his friend too. I understood that Jackie Kennedy wanted to move out of US, but how the hell she felt for this guy so as Maria Callas. For him it was a game, and after he got tired then he dumped his toy and bought new ones

    Oh NO!!! I was just starting to play this as I concurrently glanced at the comments…and just from reading half way through the very first comment I have pressed pause to write this, as I am pretty sure I don’t need to continue watching, purely from what this first comment is saying!! If you have in fact communicated what this person is stating then it’s already an absolutely done deal I’m afraid!!
    Neither Visconti OR Zeffirelli ‘taught’ Maria ‘how to act’!!! If you bothered to do your due diligence then you would be in possession of the knowledge/ fact that they were FANS of hers and followed her as she performed around Italy!! Visconti left film making to SPECIFICALLY work with Maria!! She even explained it herself in her televised interview with Lord Harewood when he asked her how she ‘found how to act on stage’ and she replied by explaining that SERAFIN had given her the biggest insight on how to act on stage when he told her that “when you want to find how to act/ move on stage, all you have to do is LISTEN!! The composer has already thought/ seen to that!! If you take the time to listen, with your soul and your ears…the mind must work, but not too much also, you will find every gesture there!!” And she was speaking (I’m pretty sure) about either her first Gioconda’s in Verona, or her Puritani and Valkyrie in Venice, which were YEARS before her Scala Vestale!! I specifically remember Di Stefano moaning about Visconti paying too much attention to her Scala Traviata and how he asked her for a couple of specific POSES he wanted from her, like the praying hands and a couple of other things…but even THEN he got annoyed with her because she would always let the hat he wanted her to wear and die in at the end of the opera, fall to the floor, as she wanted her face to be seen!! And Zeffirelli said words to the effect: “what could you teach her about any of these characters or scores, she knew them inside out!!”
    So I’m afraid I shan’t be watching the rest of this as I wish to maintain my blood pressure lower than boiling point!!
    I will only just say, that I find it deeply offensive and borderline disgusting that you would bother to go to the trouble of making a film about this once in a lifetime magnificent woman, and then be so insulting as to not bother doing your homework to actually understand WHO it actually is you’re supposed to be paying homage to!! The fact that you’re just spouting incorrect nonsense lowers this to basically a vehicle with which to make money from, and so turning it from an homage to Callas, to lightweight trash!! If you had any integrity you’d be ashamed of yourself!! I have the distinct feeling that I would be asking to much for that to be the case!!
    Atrocious!! 😔

    Because of Callas there was a brief moment when opera ceased to be an esoteric art for the few and interest in opera and singers like Sutherland, Caballé, and Olivero spread to a large section of the public.
