When Maria Callas first sang at Convent Garden many years before this performance, it was her famous 'Norma' . . . she exited after the first scene, and the audience did not applaud. She turned to the director, surprised, and said 'what did we do wrong?' He replied, 'oh, the London audiences don't interrupt the opera, Maria, with applause.' It's a marvelous quality, really, because they are so absorbed in the drama, and of course, she sang there many times in many of her great roles, which you can hear in live recordings. ** However all that being said, this entire performance of Tosca is on youtube, so you can see and hear the tremendous ovation at the end of Act II . . . that's when the London audience went wild. When the curtain fell after Tosca has killed Scarpia, places the candles around him, the cross on his chest, and sobbing runs offstage, that's when the London audience silent and respectful of such great acting, expressed their appreciation. Unforgettable! Anthony Plumer

As a historical note, especially approaching the centenary this month of Rosa Ponselle's Met debut, Covent Garden audiences sure made an applause exception for her. In spite of having been patronizingly warned by Melba to expect applause only at an act's end, Madame Ponselle received a six minute ovation after "Casta diva." (Ponselle: A Singer's Life p. 122)

Thank goodness man invented the recording, since I wasn't even born to see that. I can only imagine what would be like to listen to her personally, since from a video I already feel spiritually elevated to tears. Something happens again, like the first time I read Proust's "In Search of Lost Time", I thought I would never be able to read other authors and novels since nothing seemed to compare to him, fortunately it was only temporary; and now since I discovered Callas, I can only listen to her over and over again, and all other singers seem irrelevant.

This is probably her best Tosca dramatically speaking but the voice started to decline here unfortunately. In the 1940's and early 1950's, before here weight loss, she was even greater. A voice so so full it's unbelievable. Here you can hear wooble, thinness sometimes. She used her vocal weaknesses and turned it into dramatic strength. She was the greatest. Still here with half the voice she had in 1950 she is at a level rarely equaled by her predecessors and never equaled since.

When I played this piece, usually the 53 version, my mom used to come into my room tears running down her face to thank me for the experience. She is now almost too deaf and far gone with dementia to be able to enjoy any music. I was very alone in my appreciation of classical music and my loud playing of opera was a source of displeasure frequently for others. But my beloved mother never curtailed my weirdness in this regard. This and Eben ne andro lontano always had profound impact on her. She was literally the only other person in my life who displayed such a genuine visceral reaction and appreciation for the power of Callas. I miss that terribly.

Sad your mother’s illness, but so great she appreciated the emotion in the arias you played. As others have said here you are not alone!

I have listened to this version of Vissi d"arte Each time I have learned more about the depth of Tosca's feelings and the composer/librettist intent which Mme. Callas brings alive. This time I heard something different. Her sadness, her disbelief of what has is happening, is what every woman who has been or exposed to possible sexual assault. The sadness, the anger, the lifting up to the Diety why has this happened, Now I understand why many women friends who were exposed to possible or actual assault responds with tears, and anguish. Callas interpretation touched them to feel their reality. RIP Mme Callas -- you were an interpretive musical genius. RIP

As the orchestra played the intro to act 2 you can plainly see on her face the transformation from Maria to Carmen. It was eerie and magnificent.

She had everything - a unique technique, understanding of music, coupled with being one of the few very very good actors among opera singers. Plus after her mid-career weight loss (80 lbs, 1954) she basically looked like a model. Problem was, her weight loss induced a very gradual vocal decline resulting from the lack of breathing room in her chest. But from 1954 to around 1960, she had all what I just described. The complete, full package.

I feel like for her, the role of Tosca was like drinking water. It was her first leading role after all, so she probably had a lot of experience playing this part. She said she never liked Vissi D'Arte, and even said that Puccini felt conflicted in adding this aria as it made no sense to the movement of the act, which she agreed, but of course Puccini felt compelled to add a soprano aria just for the sake of the opera. Of course, it turned out to be one of Puccini's most famous arias. But it is so ironic how Maria didn't give much care for this role, when it is one of the most we associate her with, well at least the younger audience who never seen her live, since this is one of few clips we have of her live performances. But if I were to pick her top roles, they would certainly be Medea (probably her best), Norma, Abigaille, Tosca (the best one I've seen thus far), Violetta, Gioconda. Her strength was certainly in more dramatic roles.

Voice technique is important but technicalities (dynamics, breath marks, etc) imo come second to evoking true emotion (in terms of live performances or any of the that matter) which is what she did... This is something many singers struggle with... Say what you will but Callas give a performance that surely captivated the audience.

Completely sublime. No one touches Callas in this aria. It’s beyond belief. Impossible not to sob. What a soprano. Truly La Divina.

It is always a masterclass in style to hear or (the rare and wonderful treat!) to see Callas sing! Here in the verismo opera-she still retains the beautiful legato and follows what Maestro Puccini has put in the score faithfully. There is far too much scooping and swooping and ugly glottal attacks in the way modern singers sing this beautiful music! Instead of art we are getting fed a very poor copy-a caricature even, at times of this music. It isn’t that there doesn’t exist talent anymore, I just think the emphasis is on the wrong things and so the high art that is singing is being trampled on and dumbed down in an effort to “please the audience”....Beautiful, engaged, virtuosic singing is what speaks directly to the souls of the audience. If we bring that back, then the theaters will be full to bursting again. Thank you Maria Callas for shining the light!

Maria Callas è unica! Spiace affermare che la enorme differenza ancora oggi esistente con altri soprani lascia pensare che sarà così per sempre. Grandissime qualità di recitazione e altissima esecuzione di qualsiasi brano d'opera, lasciano molto indietro tutte le altre anche bravissime.

I lived for art, I lived for love, I never hurt a living soul! Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore, non feci mai male ad anima viva! With furtive man Con man furtiva How many miseries I knew I helped. Quante miserie conobbi aiutai. Always with sincere faith Sempre con fè sincera My prayer La mia preghiera He went up to the holy tabernacles. Ai santi tabernacoli salì. Always with sincere faith Sempre con fè sincera I gave flowers to the altar. Diedi fiori agl'altar. In the hour of pain Nell'ora del dolore Why, why, Lord, Perché, perché, Signore, Why do you pay me back like that? Perché me ne rimuneri così? I gave the Madonna's jewels to the mantle, and I gave song to the stars, to heaven, Diedi gioielli della Madonna al manto, e diedi il canto agli astri, al ciel, What more beautiful laughs. Che ne ridean più belli. In the hour of pain Nell'ora del dolor Why, why, Mr. Perché, perché, Signor, Ah, why do you pay me so? Ah, perché me ne rimuneri così

I cannot get over how she uses those registral breaks at the end to emphasize the cadence - the first is Ab, the second is G….who knows if it was intentional but geez it’s accurate and sounds amazing!!
