Possibly my favourite of all Callas's filmed performances. The fragility and sadness are tangible.

Ci sono persone che sono nate per diventare grandi medici, avvocati, presidenti, compositori, cantanti, direttori d'orchestra. La CALLAS e nata per donare amore

This is not singing. It is a PRAYER!!!!!! Thank you MARIA!

She was BORN to sing Bellini!!! and Verdi, and Donizetti, and Rossini, and Puccini, and pretty much EVERYTHING!!!

Maria Callas is the best opera singer ever!

Jaśnie Pani Callas, to nie śpiew, to poezja, dziękuję.

NO ONE SINGS THIS ARIA LIKE CALLAS! PERFECTION.

Immortality. Civilizations will rise and fall A voice like this will lift Mankind up.

E nulla...quando sul "potria novel vigore.." il volto di Maria si apre alla luce della speranza ogni separazione fra l'artista e il personaggio svanisce e l'arte diviene sublime

She is the reason I started singing opera. La Divina

This was 1965? Unbelievably great. Still greater than any version by any other singer.

Just look at her:she sings with her eyes and mouth and her whole body as Bernstein pointed out. No one has ever been able to do that like her: Pure musicality.

Lezione di canto per qualsiasi voce.. stessa posizione dall’inizio alla fine. Canto sulla corda e risonanza del petto sempre presente. Voce vera senza camuffare nulla. Numero 1

One of the remarkable things I find listening to Callas is the detail in her performances, this is ravishingly beautiful and she uses the finest gradations of tone and shading of volume, and a huge range of so subtly different facial expressions to make this just sublime. I enjoy many other ladies singing this but Maria Callas makes every moment come to life... each time I listen it seems like there is more to relish...

This is a good example of why María Callas was the twentieth century’s greatest singer. There will never be another like her.

I am so in love with this woman!!!! I don't care if there are any better sung versions out there. For me she has "IT". She connects so deeply to the music she sings, she has that untouchable charisma and pathos...it goes so above and beyond the perfect technique, beautiful timbre, accurate musicianship, etc. She communicates so well - and that is where it is. This aria is incredible.

Divine, magnificent and perfect. This is opera!

i can't help but cry as i listen to this beauty...

this voice was not ugly. it was wonderfull filled with magic. she was LA MAGICA.

È sempre una grande emozione sentirla...una voce sublime...incomparabile!

Yo i think she is da truth!!!! I love her.... I dont care what anybody says bout maria's voice cause thats proof she can sing beautifully!!! She made me like opera!

Capolavoro di musica e voce.

One of the things that always amazed me is that Callas barely seemed to open her mouth when she sang coloratura. Unlike most other singers who contort their mouth every which way to try and hit each note. Much love.

This is Callas almost at the end of her career, but despite a couple of minor vocal blemishes she moulds the cantilena of Bellini's aria with such perfection. How can we fail to be moved ? She sings from deep inside the words and the harmony. She is the frail Amina , sleepwalking and singing of her lost love. I can understand that some don't like her voice, but her artistry, communication and emotion are beyond question.

Greatest opera singer ever.

What a beautiful singer and conductor! The orchestra is impecable 💕

Non esiste nulla di più bello e intenso di questa struggente aria di Bellini interpretato dalla Callas. Bellissima e unica !!! Grazie.

her voice breaks your heart

Maria takes you directly to Heaven.

there will never be another Maria Callas --- ...vivva Maria!!!

Callas always sing the text. When she sings grieving arias, your heart melts and sways with her tremendous singing. I don't care if her voice deteriorate too early, it is the emotions that give life to opera not just the singing. Brava La Divina!

Ineguagliabile!!!🎩🌹🎩🌹🌹🌹

Extraordinaria ❤❤❤

Some writer very sagely observed that while others sang in phrases, Callas sang in paragraphs... Χρόνια πολλά και Αιωνία η μνήμη αυτής.

the only artist who has ever provoked a genuine emotional response from me with Bellini. What comes off as quaint or even cartoonish from others is heartbreaking from Callas.

La divina!👏👏👏

Bellini et Callas, une rencontre miraculeuse ! C'est à nous qu'elle s'adresse, elle semble nous murmurer les paroles que la musique porte en elle. Quelle émotion de la voir si vivante ! Un témoignage de son art pour l'éternité, sans aucun doute !

This mixture of grief and love. Devine singing. The Great Callas. La Divina.

You're right. she doesn't simply sing, but she is (Amina, Violetta, Norma or whatever you want), every time she is.

Emotion pure !❤

Grandiosa e indimenticabile!

Increíble dulzura de Dama Celestial...!!!!

George Pretre - great conductor. Maria Callas - an angel on Earth.

You can't separate her artistry from her voice, a magnificent voice!

basterebbe questa interpretazione per renderla immortale...

Jedinečná Maria Callas ! ❤❤❤

Bravissima Maria! Primadonna Assoluta!

Yes the voice can be ravishingly beautiful and is the vector for her artistry. This recording surely puts to rest the claims of those who say she was simply a good actress. No , Callas was above all a phenomenal singer who even late in her career, as here, could move us to tears with her voice.

Il mio amore per Maria è infinito. Bravissima. Unica

Ah! non credea mirarti Sì presto estinto, o fiore; Passasti al par d'amore, Che un giorno solo Che un giorno sol durò. Passasti al par d'amore... Che un giorno Che un giorno sol durò. Potria novel vigore Il pianto, il pianto mio recarti... Ma ravvivar l'amore Il pianto mio non può. Ah! non credea Ah non credea Passasti al par d'amore che un giorno sol durò che un giorno sol durò Passasti al par d'amore Che un giorno sol durò.

unbelievable！she is amazing

Such haunting beauty ....but then again there's only one Callas.

Celestial! Simply celestial

Pure Poesie. Callas unica.

Just heart-wrenching beauty and emotion! She was the GREAT Callas!

Una voce che nasce dal cuore e che al cuore va diritta.

10 years after the sublime performance at la scala she is more dramatic, more tragic and more heartbreaking in her mourning for her lost love! MARIA CALLAS PRIMA DONNA ASSOLUTA!

Why she is the only one that always transports me to another dimension. The best , Divina.

DEAR ALL, DO NOT FORGET SHE WAS A GENIUS AND CAME TO THIS WORLD TO SHOW TO ALL SINGERS WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WHEN SINGING AND INTERPRETING. THIS IS BREATH-TAKING AND DIVINE. ALCE2008

Fantastico!!!

Thank you for your wonderful words. I couldn´t agree more

In one word ...DIVINA!!!

She does it with so many emotions yet so effortlessly

My love, such passion, such soul. Best soprano ever❤❤❤

Cannot believe that this has not had more hits! Absolutely beautiful.

Sublime, divino, qui si sente il vero e puro Belcanto! Bravissima Maria💖 ci commuovi tutti.

affascinante il direttore d'orchestra... e Maria... che classe!!!

María Callas, sin duda alguna, una grande entre las grandes!!

meravigliosa, sempre!

Fantástica...como siempre.

I'm in love

R.I.P. Maestro Georges Prêtre, 1924-2017

Insuperabile Maria Callas. Divina Bellezza...

Magnífica.

Absolutely fabulous!

¡Maravilloso! El final sobretodo es de una belleza indescriptible.

i love closing my eyes while listening to her and hearing the emotion in her voice... and when i open them again, the feelings are also reflected on her face... beautiful and very touching...

I watch this at least 40 times. Just can’t get over with it, even in my sleep. The voice, the expression like story telling. Viva Maria!

Perche' piango sempre quando canta? Mi tocca fino in fondo all'anima. So touches me to my core!

Interpretación insuperable, un dejo de tristeza y añoranza que ninguna otra voz alcanza, no solamente llega al corazón y se hace repetitiva en la cabeza, va más allá, atraviesa la piel y se queda en el alma. Callas eterna.

Com esta ária, ela corta o coração de qualquer um. Prova de que ela é a ponta de um grande iceberg, as outras apenas deslisam na música. Grandiosa e devastadora, essa é Callas.

Oh ich liebe diese melancholische, süße Arie und die zärtliche Oboe!!!❤️😢

Maria Callas is for ever in my soul.

Divine. She transports me to another dimension.

Sublime comme (presque) toujours!

Me deja sin palabras verla en directo.Te llega al alma.Gracias.

What a truly great, great artist. Each note, each phrase was imbued with magic and true understanding beyond us all. I applaud you La Callas. May your recordings live forever.

Her voice is the most divine, deeply and perfect that the world had seen.....no one will have this voice ....she's was unique....the last greek goddess that existed....the goddess of music...thank you Maria, for your work and inique voice.

It's wonderful - Maria Callas the Best forever!

Eternamente stupenda, ineguagliabile!

I played this clip thousand times and compare this with other sopranos, none of them can be as good as callas!

Why and how is this woman able to sing this way?in Philippine idiom we say "she was wide awake and with a big basket when God showered the earth with talent"

Legend!

A real wonderful interpreter of Bellini's beautiful aria.

This makes me weep. It feels more powerful than some of the earlier recordings. Living life does that.

No sé qué emociona más, cuando canta o cuando calla, mirando su rostro. Qué inmensidad.

Die Stimme von Maria Callas berührt die Seele---keine andere Sängerin kann diese Arie so engelhaft singen!! danke Maria Callas-LA DIVINA

It really doesn't get better than this. Not now. Not ever. Maria, you will forever be in our hearts!!!

Who comes even close to his magnificent singing. Her voice was till glorious in 1965.

Wirklich eine der schönsten Sequenzen von Maria Callas.
