What Makes a Great Soprano? 2 of 4

[@john.arnold1860]

I love Callas's speaking voice. She sounds so classy.

[@munequitodeebano3920]

Sadly they didn’t included Beverly Sills who’s was not only one of the greatest sopranos of all times (when her voice was at her peak) but also when she retired from singing gave decades to the arts helping young artists and raising money for the Met and the NYCO and the opera in general. It’s very sad we don’t realize how much we owe Sills and how much we need to learn from her.

There is no doubting the talent and the beauty of Callas.

[@Wavewolfaroha]

Wonderful to experience Kiri's teaching like this! Thank you.

"Parts 3 and 4 were blocked by the Royal Opera House" - nice work! Not. There is not a penny to be gained by this, only a lot to lose.

El documental está muy bueno yo creo que el documental en español debe de estar increíble

[@Operafreak9]

I heard most of them. Nothing came close to Nilsson. That was a total experience

[@tneprescintr]

@fourniturev She was amazing in almost anything she did. Have you heard her Mexico Traviatas? It sounds as if Flagstad had learnt to sing coloratura. I highly recommend. :)

Gracias por el video...

Where do I find this Recording? I would like to buy it

[@MikrosBeethoven]

Goddamit, it cuts on the best part! Where can we buy this doc?

[@ransomcoates546]

Is the 'o' of 'tesoro' open? I would have thought not.

[@Dacejave27]

Where is Montserrat Caballe?

[@amfortas1978]

callas might not like Carmen but she was one of the best carmen :) and that live recording of la traviata is the best la traviata recording, no matter crack or not. I doubt if lohengrinT is really callas fan.

[@rosebud3971]

Whenever I want to hear perfection, I listen to this Callas ' Vissi D'arte

[@jeanhaughton3120]

i listen to monserrat caballe

[@ransomcoates546]

It's unfortunate there is no film of Callas in her prime.

[@tjw2469]

Callas: sing everything with bitter hatred feeling but she still better than most of modern singers

[@mckavitt]

Kai Yan T all depends on what moves you.

Where are parts 3 and 4 of this documentary? thanks

[@daniellefrank007]

i know right!

[@jfudgeelder]

Just had the same problem and dig some digging. Parts 3 and 4 were blocked by the Royal Opera House because of copyrighting.

[@melodyvonderpfalz4289]

:(

[@fourniturev]

Callas might have fared better as a mezzo? I love her as Carmen

[@RicAbapo]

hey that's my name at the beginning.. hahahaha

[@sebthi7890]

i have a question to Italian reader: why does the language teacher stress out to pronounce "ricordo" with an open "o", in Italiano Standard it is closed. Is it an comon sence to sing every o and e in the open variation? How does this apear to an Italian native speaker? For me as a German wrong vowels are annoing.

[@ransomcoates546]

You are right. The film is wrong.

[@jackieharvey1626]

Para querré como te quiero

[@axiomaddict]

What the devil????!

[@jasonstearns2666]

Why does Kiri make her sing white and spread? That's wrong.

[@mckavitt]

Violetta must sound sweet. For no sweeter opera character exists. Callas just sings badly here, as often. But what intelligence! What musicality! Her Tosca really works! Great singing!

[@mckavitt]

Daniela d Violetta is no mere prostitute. Don’t you know the opera?

[@Daniela-pr7rz]

@@mckavitt Yes I do, and Callas gave the best interpretation to what Verdi put on score.

[@mckavitt]

Daniela d Your opinion.

[@Daniela-pr7rz]

@@mckavitt Not only mine, as a matter a fact, you are in minority with disputing that Callas Violetta was not a good one. But everybody has their tastes and we all should stick to listening to what we like. Good bye.

[@mckavitt]

Daniela d No, I am not in the minority amongst opera critics for this role. There are several sopranos who are considered to be better as the adorable & so wronged Violetta.
