An Italian genre of music, French composer and language, story about Spain, sung by a Greek, conducted by an Austrian for a German audience! European culture at its best!

[@GettinJiggyWithGenghis]

Man, the confidence is in the body language, the crossed arms, the facial expressions, the POINTING, the swinging back and forth that you just HAVE to do on those notes, and that’s not even to mention the singing. What a great art form, very glad this came with a video, half of the beauty truly is in the way she grabs the audience so tightly, so confidently, it’s almost alien! You know I don’t mean this as an insult but I personally don’t find her exceptionally attractive, I definitely don't feel the need to focus on her looks at least like so many of these comments are, and I bring that up because a lot of these comments are so focused on either calling her ugly or just fawning over how beautiful she is, and I think that’s a shame because no matter how she looks, she fucking NAILED this, absolutely dominated this performance with the precision and skill of a god damn brain surgeon. Imagine you get out of surgery and instead of thanking the doctor you tell her she’s pretty, it doesn’t make any sense to focus on that.

[@jillgooner]

@@bharp4390 she lost weight too quickly and had been I'll towards the end of her career with serious chest complaints. She was classed as unreliable when pulling out of concerts but she was very unwell. There's nothing wrong with being heavier but she was known to be pushed by managers to diet to the extreme which was damaging to her whole body but just voice. She'd had pneumonia at one point but was pushed too far. Her voice in casta diva was heavenly wasnt knocking that but very different to the video of her singing carmen. She looked perfect in that. Such an incredible voice and presence ni one could match her.

Interesting on woman's hour today about a new book about maria callas. When I mentioned her weight it was discovered she actually had iodine injected into her thyroid to over act it, so dramatically losing 10st.

There was nothing La Callas couldn't do. A true artist, she embodied each character she played, as we can see in this video. And she didn't bring Carmen into her repertoire until late in her career!

The day my mother and grandmother died in a plane crash (I was but in my early teens studying for finals). Maria Callas's version of this song kept playing in a movie that was on in the background. While the memories of this song are bittersweet, I will say Las Callas's voice and stunning physical beauty were the only calming influences on such a dark day. I don't know if there is a heaven, but it almost felt like a voice from beyond. "Love is a gypsy's child that has never known a law."

That's awful.... May I suggest you listen, if you haven't already, to Maria Callas's "La mamma mortal" ( the dead mother), with subtitles, so you can understand the lyrics. It's sad, but uplifting and so, so powerful. I always listen to it when I'm feeling down and it gets a little better.....

Callas IS Carmen. too bad she never did the part on an opera stage, but we do have these concert numbers from it, plus the complete recording (which i have, and treasure), and it all sounds very definitive, in terms of the part. always wondered why she didn't do the full version on stage somewhere. Callas IS Carmen. surely, she should have realized this, but... we must respect her reasons, whatever they were. who ever sang it better, or was more temperamentally suited to the part? yes, Rise Stevens did a fine, intelligent job, and was renowned for it, but Callas, Callas!!!

[@AghashQ]

I've heard this aria performed dozens of times by so many different singers - old, modern style and all that nonsense - no one comes close to Maria's sovereignty of expression, the ease of conveying both atmosphere and emotions. You listen to it and forget the rest - her singing comes out as if she was telling you a story that sounds as down to earth as a vulgar street woman that Carmen was, but that simplicity is so believable that her voice alone brings a whole cinema right into your head. No obsession with breathing, articulation, intonation, piano or forte - she's simply living the character, not acting it, not parroting anyone, not being a mechanical doll reenacting what smart coaches told her to do. She's above it all and serves us the character exactly the way it was designed: juicy, crass, untamed, edgy, expressive, dirtyish, unimbelished woman of her element whose voice is unpolished, throaty and cracking at times - and she makes you believe that despite her gala dress, sparkling jewelry and operatic singing. That's exactly what Maria was in all her characters - genuine and believable and with seemingly the simplest of recipes how to achieve the effect: "if you take the trouble to actually read the notes," you'll see that a composer has conveyed at all there and have you all the clues you will ever need for a given role. She simply red out the notes the way most of us read books. She was the music.

Like the one here who said Callas was a mess and always out of tune. Yes, people love nothing if not listening to bad singers. Just for kicks. But anyway, you'd think someone with such an opinion wouldn't go listening to a clip sung by an affected mess. But they do, just to spew bile, deluding themselves into thinking their opinion would change anybody's mind.
