Maria Callas: Advices & examples

Some highlights of her teaching, what she insisted on. Though weakened in her body and soul at that time, at the end of her professional life, she manages to share and express very vividly what she knows and asks for, as a musician and a supreme artist. ( Sorry, I didn't included the pupils' singing much, because I wished to concentrate rather on the words and intensity of her vocal examples).

The perceptive Leyla Gencer described Callas as having the sacred fire, and, my God, I can feel it here. Listening to these masterclasses, it's apparent to me that it was never just about herself, that Callas was a custodian for her Art. And a miracle. Thanks for posting this!

She knew every damn note from every parts of all the operas she was in ( orchestral parts included) . It's à form of genius actually .Jeez. She heard EVERYTHING

She didn't know it all the time - as she was human but the point is she took the effort to learn it all. :)

Damn she was tough!! I would’ve cried!! She’s too good and can tear you to pieces but at the same time knows so much and it’s firm yet kind in a way!!!

When you've heard the RIGOLETTO section (6:40) you feel sorry, she didn't sing the male roles, too!

She mentions what many of these technique only people fail to point out more - it is not just about learning the vocal mechanics (technique) but also deliver the character believably and not just following the directions on the sheet music. You act with the whole body. It is no less important to learn.

This is incredible, to hear her sing Rigoletto, she sings it better han 99% of baritones! The intonation, pathos, everything, it is a minor miracle!

The most successful student that she taught was probably soprano Barbara Hendricks....also one of my favorite artists.

@Francesco12345671 2 жыл бұрын

Yes she's the most successful but she didn't enjoy the masterclass much and didn't work well with Maria (not that it means anything)

I can't believe that hearing the instruction of "D'Amour l'ardente flamme" is EXACTLY what Jesse Norman executes in the performance at the 1983 Orchestre et Choeur de l'Opéra national de Paris with Seiji Ozawa. This is phenomenal and required listening by EVERY Opera singer!!

It's really beautiful what does Norman in Damnation and incredible. But I don't find the warmth of the burning chest voice and fast vibrato that Callas uses, nor her tempo or the reserve expressed in the size of the vowels. Norman sings in a monumental way every word, with beautiful frozen musical moves.

Podría haber cantado otro repertorio : canción francesa , italiana . griega . Haber cogido seguridad . Y por supuesto no haber oído los consejos de Di Stefano y no haber vuelto dando 40 conciertos por todo el mundo . Además María , psicológicamente la gira del 73 al 74 la dejó muy tocada . Ni siquiera volvió a dar clases . Era un genio , que no tomo buenas decisiones al final .
