She stood on the stage silent for over 5 minutes and the entire audience was spellbound. You could hear a pin drop. Then she didn’t play Norma she became Norma as she did with every role. She was not only the greatest soprano ever but an intelligent actress, musicologist, multi linguist, teacher, recording artist. Actually, she revived and modernized opera single handed. RIP Ultimate Diva.

[@davidschmidt6013]

I actually met this incredible singer when I was 16 (I'm 64...edit: now 66). She came to Pittsburgh for a performance, (long past her prime but still revered as a legend) and paid a visit to a music program, sponsored by the city's public school system, in which I was enrolled on Saturdays for musically gifted students (not a snob, the name of the program was actually 'Centers for the Musically Talented' ). The program gave private lessons, theory, ensemble and Master Class lessons for those who were selected. The Master Class periods were classes where local and, at times, national level professionals were brought in to discuss their aspect of music (composition, orchestration, recording, arranging, accompanying, etc.) I had auditioned for, and was admitted to the program, which also included being 'drafted' into the Pittsburgh All-City Choir. At this time, I was your typical, 16-year old long haired, rock-n-rolling, weed-smoking, blue-jeaned hot-rodding teen guy (this was the '70s), singing in two different rock bands, and the only 'opera' or 'classical' songs I knew were the ones that my private-lesson teacher selected weekly for me to develop my voice. So I was unaware of who the top level opera singers of the time were, and so I had NO idea who she was. I can remember on that day, the program's admin people were all in a tizzy about her impending visit. I didn't know that, to them, this was a visit by royalty. So I just figured it would be another class by someone in the (I thought 'boring') opera field, and in whom I had no interest. But to the day I die, (and I mean this most sincerely) I will never forget her voice. Let me tell you, until one hears a world-class opera singer, really opening up their voice, IN A CLOSED ROOM, one has no idea of the sound-level they can generate!! We were in a choir room with the chairs on semi-circular steps. She stood by the piano at the front of the room and I was in about the 5th or 6th row, so about 10 or 12 feet away. She began singing an aria, absolutely beautiful, and the word 'tone' stuck in my mind. As it progressed, she then cranked up and hit a couple of notes that actually made the fabric of my sport-shirt flutter. I mean, I literally FELT it, wondered what was going on, and I looked down in surprise and SAW the fabric of my shirt fluttering in the invisible 'breeze' of her voice. There is no other way to express this : Sheer....pure......natural....unadulterated....POWER!!! Just amazing! At the end of the class, we were allowed to ask questions, and she answered them, usually questions about technique or breathing. Tactless as it seems now in retrospect, I wanted to ask her about her nose and her sinuses, as I had just learned that year from my vocal teacher the role that sinuses play in the timbre of our voices. Her nose was a strong, what they used to call a 'Greco-Roman' nose, and I was so clueless that I actually thought I would be able to ask her about how that contributed to her amazing voice. But when I tried to speak to her, my mouth just didn't seem to be working right, ( I had NEVER been a stutterer but I was that day...) and I KNOW my eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head... That was the first time in my life that I was actually facing someone, literally FACING them, of whom the term 'larger-than-life' seemed to apply, and it was as intimidating as all hell. She had that kind of face that BELONGED on a stage, HUGE EYES, and even when she was just standing there among us, she was an incredibly imposing figure. That sense of power only really settled into my mind later on, after class. She had the power to COMMAND attention just by standing still. I think she could sense that I was a bit overcome by her 'presence', but no doubt she'd had that experience before, probably ESPECIALLY with teen-age boys. But she was gracious, and she gave me that 1000watt smile and let it go. Just an amazing talent and wonderful person. She passed away too young. RIP Diva Maria!!

No matter what year; what version; with what orchestra, and, whether what I hear is a live recording, or an engineered marvel of studio musical creation, when I listen to this aria in this woman's voice, I tremble, I cry (sometimes openly), and I swear to myself that I will get over this predictable, embarrassing and recurrent emotional reaction. But I really cannot help it. And this has been happening to me for the last 55 years. What can one say or write about Maria Callas that has not been said or written already? Not having had the musical blessing of having heard her voice in person, I thank God for the recording technologies that provide presence to her voice and her art in full display (I hope) forever!
