(HD) Maria Callas's Vocal Range F#3-E6

Anyone can say they don't appreciate her voice BUT no one can deny that she achieved all the highest notes of a soprano majestically in her prime. No fear, no trembling, and effectively. Her vibrato was fierce.

[@melmario6145]

My highest note is E6 in head voice and I'm a soprano. I have E6 with Eb6 tongue vibrato in head voice.

[@loboestepario2424]

In my opinion, the point with Callas is beyond vocal range: what is really amazing is that she is able to infuse the music she is singing with a nearly perfect musical structure, THAT's really mastery.

[@laprimmadonna2341]

Totalmente de acuerdo, a eso hay que sumarle el estudio del compositor y su obra que ella hacia. Llegaba a los ensayos muy preparada. Elvira de Hidalgo siempre dijo que la Callas era su alumna más aventajada, sobre todo porque supo dominar la respiración y comprendió muy bien todas las posibilidades de su aparato vocálico, además de el extraordinario oído musical con que contaba. Fíjate que en algunas de sus Masterclass en NY cuando ensayaba con sus alumnos la Traviata, ella cantaba el rol de Alfredo! Imagínate cómo esa mujer entendía lo que es una soprano…ya sabes que una verdadera soprano puede cantar como un tenor lírico…como también lo hacía la cantante más admirada por Callas, la extraordinaria Rosa Ponselle. Saludos cordiales.

[@brunopicaude3092]

In an interview, Renata Scotto testified that Maria Callas could sing the high G.

[@beachfanatic2010]

Of course she could. But it simply was NOT a solid part of her voice. Every soprano including dramatic aopranos like Birgit Nilsson is able to sing a high F when warming up and in good shape and voice but to sing them live consistantly she would probably only be able to sing up to a high D.

[@stefanodepeppo]

Sorry but there is no absolutely evidence that Scotto said that, also because they met (and they definitely were not “good friends”...) when already Callas had started to loose even her Eflats, which sometimes (apart from Sonnambula) she had to drop/lower. de Hidalgo, whom I met in Milan in 1978, told me that (in her prime) she could vocalize till F but never able to support it. E natural was her absolute top in her palm days in Armida and Lakme’s aria live. Even in 1954 when she recorded the Lakme and Vespri arias, her high E was really glassy and weak. In 1958 in the Hamlet aria her E natural just touched is flat and also precarious. By the way, there are mistakes in these samples. Juliet’s aria has a C, not C#. Macbeth has a Db, not a D. Sonnambula has a Eb (beautiful!), not a E natural.

[@brunopicaude3092]
