I have never heard a singer speak so intelligently about her art, about being a musician and serving music. Just incomparable.

I come back to Callas videos every so often to just marvel at how insanely beautiful, talented, intelligent, cultured she was and how important she still is.

So refreshing to see an interviewer allow his subject to speak uninterrupted.

"I try to find truth in the music" - a memorable statement.

She was gorgeous.

Love the diva moment @7:50 when she says "Wagner is much easier to sing". The interviewer interjects: "in a way, yes." (pause) Callas: "in EVERY way" and continues lecture without hesitation. LOVE HER!

She is very intelligent, profound, and reflective!

She even makes speaking english beautiful! ❤

Cara Callas, such a remarkable talent, used and betrayed who felt better to be left alone, and died far too soon, her beauty, voice, statue, intellect; the world of opera was blessed to have had her.

María Callas, la divina de la ópera de todos los tiempos, amigos míos, nadie la ha superado o igualado hasta el día de hoy. 🌹🌹🌹

Maria Callas. La Divina. The greatest soprano in the world. Her name must always be spoken in a reverent tone.

This is such a profound interview. The intelligence and depth of this woman in so many areas of subjects puts to shame the fluff that people are interviewed about these days. Just nonsense and stupidity. Brava Maria.

The interviewer was the son of the Princess Royal -- Princess Mary who was the daughter of King George V. His mother was the sister of QEII's father. Lord Harewood was an opera expert who did much to make opera more popular in Britain.

She is at her house in Paris, sitting on her Sofa.. But She looks as she was about to sing "Casta Diva" at any moment!! Only Callas can give you.. That Flash. The one and the only 🌟

Albeit I never really followed the Opera world but came across this clip by accident. The name "Maria Callas" elicits the word legend which aroused my curiosity. I must say after watching the clip she really did live up to all I imagined her to be. A truly sophisticated and very cultured creature. No Diva today can compare.

She is a goddess ❤️❤️❤️❤️

She's mesmerizing!!! I don't want her to be dead.

This is about her best interview here. She speaks so well and looks great. A brilliant lady

I Adore her. She is Magnificent. Callas Forever.

Classy diva, elegant, professional & stunning ❤️her beauty is overwhelming

I love the way she speaks about her art. Very beautiful and intelligent.

Not only beautiful and multi talented but highly intelligent as well. She single handedly revived and modernized opera. RIP Ultimate Diva.

love this genius greek goddess

This video makes me nostalgic - Class is not in fashion anymore

Even at this age, Maria Callas was so sexy and beautiful. And her voice was so breathtaking and heart-melting. And she had a beautiful mind. I wish there were more women like her.

I cannot get enough of her and her immense genius. God’s greatest gift to us.

What she says about music telling you how to gesture, what to do onstage - it is so true! The music takes you and tells you.

Questa conversazione è meglio di cento master class

What I love most about this interview is that what Callas talks about is so full of meaning. Do not admit doubts. And when you hear it in opera performances you find its essence. Your truth in music and then you are enveloped by it. What a woman and what an extraordinary artist she was! Brava!👏🏾❤

She's a genius. Im in awe of her

Her speaking voice is so exciting❤

The most fascinating and beautiful woman of the 20th century. Miss you Maria.

One of the most remarkable women to ever set foot among us mere mortals. How I wish she had been happier, especially during the final lonely years of her life. Viva Callas.

She was a brilliant musician. What she describes is applicable to any instrument. Great interview.

This is a much better interview than the one Mike Wallace did.

A true artist in every sense of the word.

Callas was a fascinating interviewee. She exuded authority, great artistic insight and incredible magnetism. No doubt she was the supreme diva (in the best sense of the term) of the 20th Century. Controversial and temperamental NO DOUBT! however few operatic first ladies portrayed tragic romantic roles (Vissi d'arte) with such honesty, commitment and intensity as Callas; a facet of her art which certainly galvanised, moved and excited audiences.

She studied and knew the whole score.. Gave her all to all the roles she sang.. Brava DIVINA

She had so many great ideas. She really was next level as far as performers go. So much so that I don't believe an of her contemporaries or those who came after her could approach her level of sophistication when it came to understanding what she talks about creating the mysticism and atmosphere that makes theatre work. She was able to create a credible believable character out of some pretty bad story lines where others might sing well but act ludicrously. This insight was her's alone and she found it I believe through the truth of the music and her identification with it.

Wonderful, how Maria Callas explains the way artistry in Opera Singing is created. Here you can see why she was so committed to her Art ✨✨✨

Diva! Prima Donna! The one and only.

Maria Callas is a heavenly gift for the humanity! RIP the only true DIVA!❤🍀❤🍀

She was a genius!

MARIA CALLAS ULTIMATE DIVA. MARIA CALLAS THE BEST FOR ETERNITY. 💙

I love her Voice. Singing or speaking I love. I love Maria ❤️

¡What an extraordinary professional! Listening to hear is a Master Class in singing.

An extraordinay class or Callas!!! So proud of the moroccan Caftan she's wearing :D

Everything she says is so knowledgeable. You must have a pianist to keep you on every note! She is also warm and human. A lovely interview. This is invaluable. I never knew who Maria Callas was, and this shows me.

Fantastic commentaries about opera by Maria Callas

She's beautiful

Solo puedo decir, que belleza de mujer y que talento le dió Dios , Bendiciones de Dios para todos.

She is so beautiful and talented

Absolutely riveting

Love her music. Mainly jus o mio babbino caro. Big gta3 fan. Thank you Maria for giving us the best opera music ever

She would have been a great actress

she was a goddess and a real artist, love her❤️

first time seeing any of her interviews. great performer, musician and professional

Beyoncé sang ave Maria lol Don’t even go there Maria is pure talent that Greek beauty classy like such an amazing woman

What an amazing lady,betrayed by that collector Onassis. She died young 53/54.

Тот случай, когда в личности все сошлось ; ум, красота, порода, ГОЛОС , преданность служения высокому искусству !!! 😢🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️💕❤️. Жаль, рано ушла и не осталось детей.

A genius in every language.

I think she was the greatest opera singer of the era of recorded sound... bearing in mind that it was not possible to record music in true high-quality sound (high fidelity, as they called it) until the late 1950s/early 60s, exactly when Callas was at the peak of her career! Wow.

Parts of this interview, with the camera focused on her, are missing and replaced with a longer shot of Serafin. She was relaying a pivotal memory and her facial expressions were priceless. Every available nuance of her in this documentary should be shown.

Lord Harewood, the interviewer, was Queen Elizabeth's first cousin

Wagner said he never wrote a meaningless note. Callas never sang one. Never has there been a more compelling, more commanding, more fervent, more dramatically glorious voice. Even when she is only speaking, as here, she holds us spellbound.

Talented, beautiful, articulate, bellísima ❤

Женщина- легенда ❤

In the Presents of Greatness!

I have this downloaded on my phone. It so generous of her and for singers is a masterclass! However I get very protective of her and her interviews, some people took their advantages from a already fragile woman. If one day I get her fame I will treat them Like shit, just like they treated her

wonderful!

What I love about Maria Callas is that she digs in life's concepts looking for passion , she is never satisfied with only one formula or with one style . And if you think about it in a CERTAIN WAY you'll feel that she is right , because sometimes after you reach your aim , or lets just say "your success" you ask yourself : " Is this actually a success or should I dig for more ? " Because the moment you reach this destination there is no challenge or struggling , there is only the part of enjoying the success ( I am not generalizing , I am specifying definite situations ) How do you feel about this perspective ? Do you agree with me ?

Gorgeous!

She is just a true ICON ❤️

1)Callas statement about Opera that should adapt to its time👌. Today they are still performing lengthy tiresome pieces hence people are not coming to watch and many opera houses are sinking into debt because unable to sell ticket, relying on banks donation. 2) Callas statement on Contemporary music, intellectualized sounds that give you headaches instead of soothing your soul.🙏 3) The interview starts with a master class on how to build a role from the first look at the score to the stage performance. Thanks for posting...

I am a Greek and is very so I can't tell with out words like not recognized your patriot i mean one talent with career global to give in new generation to understand what mean the culture of music

Big heart! 🤲💙🤲

Vorrei esprimere tutta la mia amministrazione per questa DONNA. Ma tanti hanno detto già tutto e meglio di quanto potrei io. Di intelligenza sublime e profondità abissale. Meneghini e soprattutto quel farabutto di Onassis non erano degni di baciarle i piedi.

Ave Maria....!!!

Quelle classe❣

She'd my favorite musician

She was pretty.

Brava. Brilliant

ВЕЛИКАЯ И ВЕЛИЧАЙШАЯ ИЗ ВСЕХ!!!

Brilhante, nem tantas perguntas!

I don't know how you stay sane, as a famous professional singer ...my father's dream was thus ...as talented as Maria ✨🎈

I love her MEDEA

Most Beautiful and Charming Chatismatic women ever. ❤️❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

Fascinating

An insanely all round perfectionist. BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED AND master of her subject. Jackie was taught how to get a man and honed all all her skills how to achieve this. Callas probably thought being a diva was enough to achieve this, who won in the end Jackie.

Callaw and the. ,King 👑 England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thanks you

She is the best opera singer forever!!!

I'm not sure of how tall she was, if at all she was tall. But if she was, she would have made a great model she has so much expression in her face too. She was an elegant beauty

I really wonder what she would say about nowadays opera business with its modern productions...

Prima Donna!

I have just finished watching the french interview . The language and culture seams to change her quite a bit. French softens her, whereas English makes her look more masculine. Different energy she adopts.

One of those lifetimes talents that loved her craft all around, shame they casted the wrong actress to depict this star on the forthcoming movie, a tragedy

THATS BETWEEN US GOD. THATS BETWEEN US JESUS. THATS BETWEEN US FAMILY. I LOVE HEAVEN. 💜💜🥰🥰🌞🌝

👑 of England Intervier WOW 😳

She would like that songs are less than 3 minutes nowadays xD they are all straight to the point xD
