The Art of Maria Callas

Maria Callas discusses her art. Interview with Lord Harewood

[@michaelrg3836]

I come back to Callas videos every so often to just marvel at how insanely beautiful, talented, intelligent, cultured she was and how important she still is.

Love the diva moment @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="470">7:50</a> when she says "Wagner is much easier to sing". The interviewer interjects: "in a way, yes." (pause) Callas: "in EVERY way" and continues lecture without hesitation. LOVE HER!

[@stephaniet9264]

This is such a profound interview. The intelligence and depth of this woman in so many areas of subjects puts to shame the fluff that people are interviewed about these days. Just nonsense and stupidity. Brava Maria.

[@genarojapos5006]

[@SymphonyBrahms]

Maria Callas. La Divina. The greatest soprano in the world. Her name must always be spoken in a reverent tone.

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

She even makes speaking english beautiful! ❤

[@jimr4319]

Albeit I never really followed the Opera world but came across this clip by accident. The name "Maria Callas" elicits the word legend which aroused my curiosity. I must say after watching the clip she really did live up to all I imagined her to be. A truly sophisticated and very cultured creature. No Diva today can compare.

[@nikolaosmark5812]

Divas that have Greco-Roman background and know the heavy burden that comes with, can truly be incomparable. It's like you take a peek at Plato and all of them teaching.

[@bejoyful]

Cara Callas, such a remarkable talent, used and betrayed who felt better to be left alone, and died far too soon, her beauty, voice, statue, intellect; the world of opera was blessed to have had her.

Not only beautiful and multi talented but highly intelligent as well. She single handedly revived and modernized opera. RIP Ultimate Diva.

[@A.V._Blank_Fairy]

I agree. ❤ And unfortunately, we do not get often this kind of beauty anymore. It looks as though everyone is trying to look the same. Imagine if Callas was young today how much she would feel the pressure to make her nose smaller, her lips even fuller etc. She would have a lot to put up with before gaining confidence in her talent.

[@danbarthy3819]

What I love most about this interview is that what Callas talks about is so full of meaning. Do not admit doubts. And when you hear it in opera performances you find its essence. Your truth in music and then you are enveloped by it. What a woman and what an extraordinary artist she was! Brava!👏🏾❤

[@erpollock]

What she says about music telling you how to gesture, what to do onstage - it is so true! The music takes you and tells you.

[@piustwelfth]

The interviewer was the son of the Princess Royal -- Princess Mary who was the daughter of King George V. His mother was the sister of QEII's father. Lord Harewood was an opera expert who did much to make opera more popular in Britain.

She's mesmerizing!!! I don't want her to be dead.

[@meisterwue]

Her speaking voice is so exciting❤

[@hodgrix]

She had so many great ideas. She really was next level as far as performers go. So much so that I don't believe an of her contemporaries or those who came after her could approach her level of sophistication when it came to understanding what she talks about creating the mysticism and atmosphere that makes theatre work. She was able to create a credible believable character out of some pretty bad story lines where others might sing well but act ludicrously. This insight was her's alone and she found it I believe through the truth of the music and her identification with it.

[@Gipsi711]

Very very true...

[@cacata98]

¡What an extraordinary professional! Listening to hear is a Master Class in singing.

[@meredith218461]

Callas was a fascinating interviewee. She exuded authority, great artistic insight and incredible magnetism. No doubt she was the supreme diva (in the best sense of the term) of the 20th Century. Controversial and temperamental NO DOUBT! however few operatic first ladies portrayed tragic romantic roles (Vissi d'arte) with such honesty, commitment and intensity as Callas; a facet of her art which certainly galvanised, moved and excited audiences.

[@Gabriel-hs9mv]

She didn’t even like Tosca, she’s recorded as saying she didn’t believe in the character. Her truest and therefore best personaggi according to herself are Violetta and Norma.

I think she was the greatest opera singer of the era of recorded sound... bearing in mind that it was not possible to record music in true high-quality sound (high fidelity, as they called it) until the late 1950s/early 60s, exactly when Callas was at the peak of her career! Wow.

1)Callas statement about Opera that should adapt to its time👌. Today they are still performing lengthy tiresome pieces hence people are not coming to watch and many opera houses are sinking into debt because unable to sell ticket, relying on banks donation. 2) Callas statement on Contemporary music, intellectualized sounds that give you headaches instead of soothing your soul.🙏 3) The interview starts with a master class on how to build a role from the first look at the score to the stage performance. Thanks for posting...

[@Nobilangelo]

Wagner said he never wrote a meaningless note. Callas never sang one. Never has there been a more compelling, more commanding, more fervent, more dramatically glorious voice. Even when she is only speaking, as here, she holds us spellbound.

What I love about Maria Callas is that she digs in life's concepts looking for passion , she is never satisfied with only one formula or with one style . And if you think about it in a CERTAIN WAY you'll feel that she is right , because sometimes after you reach your aim , or lets just say "your success" you ask yourself : " Is this actually a success or should I dig for more ? " Because the moment you reach this destination there is no challenge or struggling , there is only the part of enjoying the success ( I am not generalizing , I am specifying definite situations ) How do you feel about this perspective ? Do you agree with me ?

[@jonathanklein9296]

An insanely all round perfectionist. BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED AND master of her subject. Jackie was taught how to get a man and honed all all her skills how to achieve this. Callas probably thought being a diva was enough to achieve this, who won in the end Jackie.

[@antoniettaguerrera7800]

Ma no, non c'è paragone fra le due. Onassis era un un farabutto rozzo e pedestre, il suo solo sentimento era il denaro. Egocentrico e narcisista, non poteva tollerare quella divina donna, che gli era superiore milioni di volte. Lui affermò di essere stato innamorato solo dii Lee, la sorella di Jackie, sposata Radziwill. Jaqueline si poteva intendere di arredamento, moda o fotografia, ma la Callas era una artista!!; L'artista è colui che crea, quello che prima non c'era e che dopo può essere solo imitato. E le sue interpretazioni erano creazioni uniche e continue...
