All the comments here making this about MDM vs Callas or something do not realize that MDM himself said that the competition was friendly and due to nerves, not due to a sense of antagonism.

I wish I could have heard the greats live. Although I know records are not the same it is still possible to have a very good idea of the quality of voices by listening to the 33s, if they have been looked after. Mario is my own favourite. That quality of being oh so soft to full pelt then so very gentle again. I have heard only Mario and Franco Corelli do justice to the character of Andrea Chenier, albeit on recordings.

Chi è senza peccato scagli la prima pietra, Mario. Tuttavia, la Callas non ha mai (mai) parlato dei colleghi, nel bene e nel male. Eravate entrambi due sublimi prime donne che ci hanno regalato duetti storici, una coppia perfetta, peccato questa puerile diatriba.

@@callasiana8335 , pura invenzione di parte. Il palcoscenico venne allungato per Sonnambula da Visconti perché ricreava il proscenio dell'Ottocento e siccome era una buona idea venne utilizzato anche nel Turco in Italia e nella Norma...e non credo proprio che Maria temesse il Mario che poi alla fine del 1 atto inchiodo' al muro con un Re sopracuto conclusivo come nell'Aida al Messico....

This is amusing, since Kurt Baum’s refusal to stop holding high notes past her is supposed to have prompted the famous ‘Aida’ E flat. She certainly won that contest.

Two Little problems with the narratives: 1st: Alberto speaks as if Callas first heard Del Monaco's "exploding voice" at La Scalla. Callas sang with Del Monaco for the first time in 1949 Buenos Aires Turandot. And then MANY times before La Scalla Norma. If she wanted the stage to be made bigger, firstly she would have asked before because she had known Monaco's voice for long and secondly a biggr stage impacts both the Soprano and the tenor. 2nd: Even Del Monaco's admits that the composer intended the soprano to finish last but what he did was like: "F*** the composer and the music, my ego does not admit it. Music must serve me not the other way around"

@callasiana8335 2 жыл бұрын

You're right: they had already sung together many times, including a beautiful Aida in Mexico in 1951. So Callas couldn't be surprised or even scared at all by him. 🏺🎶

Well, you forgot one important fact. While MDM's voice grew from the forties to early fifties, Callas's voice got weaker since the lost of her weight. So while she was comfortable singing with MDM around 1950, she probably wasn't later. It could be very demanding for her to keep up with him. She probably became nervous and when she decided to get the audience attention by outsinging him, she didn't realise his chest is like three time bigger than hers. The second argument is baseless. It's fine when a soprano tries to outsing a tenor, while the other way isn't? Strange logic.

@hodgrix 2 жыл бұрын

Well MDM said that they were both supposed to cut off when the director told them to without either of them holding on longer. He actually seems really nice and laid back. Of course Callas was a bigger deal than him and more exciting on stage than anyone but she was a perfectionist wanted to be better than everyone all around period. So I could understand her becoming insecure at a larger voice than her's which in hindsight seems kind of silly.

Dear Pedro, that's not what MDM is saying here. MDM is saying that in a duet, Callas held on to a high note longer than he did and the conductor intended. He then states that the public may have thought that he was not capable to hold on to the note as long as Callas did. So he later took a long breath and in retaliation held a note longer than Callas and Maria became angry. They were arguing about it behind the curtain, but when the curtain opened they took each others hand and bowed to the public. In another interview, MDM is asked about Callas and Tebaldi. He stated that Tebaldi had a most beautiful voice, but there is something very special going on with Callas's voice and very much enjoys singing with her.

Каллас-великая певица! Но мне нравится, что Марио Дель Монако не стал уступать ей в её капризах. Браво, Марио-настоящий лев! После этого случая они долго не разговаривали... Она переключилась на Ф. Корелли. Приятно было увидеть и услышать Альберто Дель Монако, они похожи с Марио. Интересно, он жив?

Callas nunca habló de Del Monaco, este nunca superó que Callas tiene un capítulo preponderante en el mundo operista. No niego que ambos juntos nos regalaron grabaciones insuperables hasta la actualidad. Del Monaco es un Dios, pero Callas es el Titán.

ma figurati se nottetempo hanno stravolto la scenografia e il palcoscenico aggiungendo tre metri, come se il regista, lo scenografo, il capopalco, ecc non abbiano voce in capitolo e possano avere accettare con il beneplacito generale per accomodare un presunto capriccio di una cantante nervosa ed insicura. Le prove di scena in voce con il set completo non si fanno che in ultimo stadio e fino ad allora non si era resa conto la Callas della voce di DM? La sfoggio' tutta all'improvviso la voce? E poi Chi paga gli straordinari di questi lavori e materiali scenici, gli attezzisti, i tecnici di palco ecc? Che idiozie da pettegolezzo

I used to wonder why those "tenors" always spoke like they're operatic singers 😁 Because big tenor such as Mario del Monaco and Franco Correli never spoke like "operatically" ... Later my speculation was that real operatic singers do not pretend to be, but those who are amateurs need that impressions from others 😂
