Is it just me or she looks younger here? Madame Maria's acting of this aria is just fascinating. I enjoyed every bit of it. When she smiles, I smile as well. You're in our hearts Maria, always and forever!

[@Neldidellavittoria]

+Hello, I'm (InsertNameHere) Can anyone help smiling when watching her sing this?

[@jnsash003]

She makes it look SO easy.

[@jeromedescamps2772]

Formidable version et incroyable... Maria Callas se trompe dans les paroles au début, l'amour n'est pas un enfant rebelle mais un oiseau rebelle. Tout est pardonné, c'est si charmant.

[@david18ireland]

the power of this womans voice is simply incredible. gives me tingles when she hits the big finish

[@jjh2456]

This sits in the sweet spot of her voice. Magnificent.

[@모모-x1s]

bravo bravo~~~ 마리아 칼라스의 하바네라는 정말 최고죠. 힘있고 아름다운 목소리의 디바 정말 사랑하고 존경해요.

[@jerryvr]

The official end of opera.. after this everything sounds bad... What a magnificent performance!

[@infrantasi]

Utterly incandescent! 52 years have passed, and no one can sing like her, with top notes, without top notes, fat, thin, depressed, raggedy voice in the 70s, or flawless singing, like here. She did say once to Giulietta Simionato, after their opening night in Anna Bolena: "Dopo di me-nessuno!" Pinheads like Renée Fleming and Debra Voigt squabble about "when Callas' voice began to deteriorate" and I ask them: Who cares what the fuck you think? She'll still be remembered, long after Fleming and Voigt are buried in their tacky dresses.

[@LaDivinaLover]

Somebody needs a chill pill.

[@Neldidellavittoria]

+infrantasi Brilliantly put.

[@123pailin]

+infrantasi Right you are...Callas was always more than just a voice....Fleming's and Voigt's voices will be forgotten because both ladies can be replaced ....Callas was unique....

[@sabrinadubois2614]

AMEN, infrantasi!

[@janetflier6192]

Is 't that just a bit harsh??

[@wallyssalas]

Magnific presentation. Maria Callas is a unique jewel of the Opera! I totally enjoy her strong delivery of this aria, the quality and purity of her voice, her graceful stage presence. In my book, she is the greatest opera singer of the twentieth century.

[@nikitsi48]

Le chef d'orchestre Georges Prêtre est excellent ! Maria Callas extraordinaire !

[@yudiscaballero5669]

Beautiful, Maria Callas. i love your style.

[@gianluca9737]

fascinosa Maria all'apice.Record buono stavolta ma sempre lontano dall' hi-fi logicamente. Maria super star. Impeccabile e virtuosissima.Un must assoluto.

[@jean-claudepecqueur625]

Le chef d ’ orchestre a été récupéré d ’ un hôpital psychiatrique ? Merveilleux quand même ...Dommage de ne pas y voir Las Callas avec cet orchestre .

[@MrGer2295]

Wonderful singing ! Brava MARIA CALLAS :)

[@paffeke]

Georges Petré is unbelievable.

[@finnmccool684]

My God, now I see what all the fuss is about. WOW. Brava!

[@agataconti88]

E' veramente UNICA! Ancora oggi nessuna la canta come LEI.

[@normagilpin7841]

Just MAGNIFICENT!!!

[@numetutelare]

Soprano assoluto e mezzosoprano fantastico...La direzione di Pretre é trascinante...

[@roelserik1]

Georges Prêtre!

[@daveinrome]

The sight. She mesmerized you.

[@flowercy17]

Everything in here is a blessing.

[@jeanpierrezutter587]

Une voix extraordinaire !!

[@rafaelemiliogarcia468]

Esta bella pagina musical de amor me arruga el corazón y luego me alegra aún mas al conocer la historia de Carmen y el cabo don José.

[@gilbertsoulet]

On ne s'en lasse jamais, la musique aidant ... Gilbert de Pertuis

[@cqquinn1628]

the only evidence needed that she is the best of the best is the magnificent texture of her third "l'amour" and second "jamais."

[@SeaBlue1976]

Her voice...out of this world... ,i love how she prepares herself for the role,her expression just seconds before she sings every sinle lyric,oh my God!

[@pwrcstr]

Beautiful,and a young Georges Pretre,one of the greatest,stil conducts at 86 years!

[@MegaGum1]

this hits me in the same way that the earthiest African drum music hits me. The same way that rock and roll hits me. the same way that Mozart hits me. Its all music, and so long as comes from the right place its the very best that humans can achieve.

[@MakaBelfagor]

bravissima....stupenda...meravigliosa.....

[@dougn2350]

I need to hear this on something better than my cell phone.

[@ИринаДобро]

Нет её лучше. И не будет, похоже.

[@NenaMataHari]

One of the greats. Lots of charisma.

[@paoladalcorso3899]

Bravissima!!!

[@oculustributare8858]

Que ironico, Que la mejor interpretacion de "La Habanera" que en realidad fue escrita para una Mezzosoprano, la halla hecho Maria Callas una soprano lirica. La diva de las sopranos de todos los tiempos. ella es simplemente perfeta!!!!!!!!

[@Neldidellavittoria]

+Carlos Torres Soy adicta a María Callas. Pero no nos olvidemos de la estupenda Carmen de Tatiana Troyanos.

[@oculustributare8858]

Neldidellavittoria Es que su diccion y articulacion es perfecta la coneccion de toda su voz desde el pecho hasta la cara ademas la exprecion es perfecta maria Callas dio catedra de como se tenia que cantar.

[@Oskr504]

Concuerdo contigo Carlos, pues es increíble como la Callas se empapaba de cada personaje, y nos trasmite no solo su poderosa y virtuosa voz, sino que al personaje mismo, y eso es un logro tan característico en ella, sin duda fue la prima donna del siglo XX, con un legado eterno.Saludos.

[@consuelogradin8263]

Carlos Torres Hizo roles de mezzo. Sólo una cantante como Callas con el dominio de la técnica y la voz podía meterse en roles tan diferentes....y hacerlos impecablemente bien. El ejemplo ...ésta Carmen inigualable!

[@Neldidellavittoria]

Consuelo Gradin Y a veces su voz llegaba a tonos de contralto. Cuando en 'Tu che le vanità' de Don Carlo canta la línea 'la pace del avel' con esa profundidad y pastosidad dignas de una contralto, a mí me da escalofríos.

[@pianoguy80]

Stellar!

[@audrey9664]

She worked so hard.

[@zbigniewbrzezinski8869]

The conductor not only conducts but also acts!😮

[@mariobaeza9075]

bravo..... la divina...

[@Pfalzgreven]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@Luluci995]

Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime; Prends garde à toi! THAT is Callas' love. Grande, muy grande!

[@hansplas510]

Goosebumps, every time I watch this clip. Her expression, her breathing, her smile... simply erotic!

[@giuseppecarrera6228]

la grande diva mariaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@gloriajimenez9650]

Para apasionarnos, por esta musica, no es menester tener demasiada cultura, hace falta hacerla oír mas, me fascina

[@repertoirechoeurdefemmes4418]

LE CHEF : Georges PRETRE UN GRAND !!!!!! LA CALLAS LA PLUS GRANDE !!!!!

[@tomgeydan]

She could sing coloratura, mezzo (as in this recording), and contralto, as well. And when she sang-and acted-everyone listened with bated breath! Unfortunately, this having-to-sing-everything, and her utter drive to always be perfect; but especially, singing in all three voices (and several in between), became her untimely undoing! A voice unique, and unsurpassed!

[@ms.chaewon9231]

Thomas K. Geydan Agreed. Sometimes you would think that she is mezzo; sometimes contralto; sometimes coloratura. Amazing woman! incomparable!

[@urshe100]

Love This man

[@altynab6617]

волшебство!

[@valeriapebble]

When people didn't need auto tune to sound good... I'm talking to you, Kanye!!

[@footage6402]

Pop music today and real singers like this are two different kinds of artists. One is computer generated the other requires talent.

[@canamus1768]

watching callas perform always reminds me of one of norma desmond's lines from "sunset boulevard": "i can say anything i want with my eyes."

[@a4b3m2i1s]

[@belindaalonso1043]

+Oscar Mendez Thanks!!

[@catsoandahalf]

[@rosemaryallen2128]

Lovely bit of conducting and orchestral playing! The singing wasn't half bad, either.

[@ejkpoet3461]

has she ever sung, Solveig's song? & has Marita Solberg ever sung Carmen? These are the things I think about

[@ejkpoet3461]

it says keep reading, but that's a lot of reading and we all know where that leads

[@samantharomanov7094]

[@flowersaint8521]

[@donkennethmason9592]

Umm... what in the name of Bizet is the conductor doing?

[@تربانيصقرفلسطين]

1:09

[@Daemon5599]

As the first song called

[@eltesto]

okay, this maestro has a weird way of conducting,lol

[@JudgeJulieLit]

A singularly fab way of infusing joy, energy and entertainment.

[@catsoandahalf]

Fabulous but the conductor needs to have his meds adjusted.

[@sabrinadubois2614]

Thank you!

[@sylviebasyl2835]

Georges Prêtre was a well-known conductor, and the favorite one of Maria Callas.

[@giuseppecasorelli6568]

Maria Callas and Luciano Pavarotti...

[@ИринаДобро]

Нет её лучше. И,, похоже, не будет.

[@ОксанаСальник]

Не будет. Это точно. Божественная.

[@romelapaza7691]

[@CHIVITAWIN]

***** Georges Pretre. Es un espectáculo aparte es hombre :)

[@romelapaza7691]

Gracias

[@russellalgaragulli3713]

huh this reminds me of Tom and Jerry so much... what a great days....

[@cordellcarmalt4633]

I have to say it.I much prefer a mezzo in this role and Elina Garanca does this so much more emotionally in my opinion.

[@aurelienoxi2034]

Carmen est habituellement interprétée par une mezzo soprano, pourquoi l'avoir fait interpréter par Maria Callas ?

[@sgnb865]

cうｔ

[@言霊の幸う國のムソジニスト]

奏者が、誰も指揮者を一顧だにしていないように見えるのだが…💧

[@redsox367]

her voice damn!! good, he in the penguin suit for the first 2.20 minutes hideous!

[@1acroyear1]

I am now thoroughly convinced that a conductor doesn't really do shit.

[@flowercy17]

The conductor here is Georges Prêtre, one of the most renowned conductors of his time, almost like Toscanini.
