This is so sweet. Maria was misunderstood by so many. I understand her. She was not harsh or temperamental..she was warm and emotional. You can see it in her performances. The media pushed her buttons. She pushed back. I hope if there is a heaven, or an afterlife, I get to meet Maria. She's definitely on my list.
I think the way her mother treated her and the way she was treated in the Greek theatres when she was only a teenager forced her to become "harsh" and "temperamental" to survive. I don't know if you have read Petsalis-Diomidis' excellent book about her first 21 years, but among many other things it contains a really saddening account of how a very young Callas, 16 or 17 years old, came crying into a colleague's dressing room because other colleagues would stand in the wings and say rude things when she was singing. I believe that being treated like this in the very sensitive formative teenage years will leave a mark and if she wanted to survive in such an environment, she had to become "tough" - which was later described as something negative both by the press and by other singers (for instance in Rasponi's "The Last Prima Donnas").
Probabilmente Maria Callas ha riso di cuore alla battuta dell' eventuale intervistatore...e se poi è capace addirittura a fare gorgheggiare il suo cagnolino.. Che dire?? È la magia fatta persona. È piacevole sentirla con quella sua splendida voce.. La rende più umana e meno divina ed anche più graziosa... come manca la sua presenza e come pesa la sua assenza. È inutile dire che tu Maria sei indimenticabile!! Ciao e grazie Nuri per tutto, mi sono mancate le tue exploit.. Elsa.

My dog has a very loud dramatic soprano voice too, when she barks, (cuz she sees stranger walking on the pavement) sooo loud, and her voice is very high pitched but also sounds very metalic 😂 I'm sure she would make a great Lady Macbeth if she was only human
As charming as this clip is, I feel it also gives insight to the basis of her technique which was genius. We can hear she isn't opening up and singing super loud but rather she is keeping everything small and controlled which is like a spring board to then sing big in the same way - hence the dramatica coluratura label.. seems like singers today don't have control over their instruments the same way,,
I assume her white poodle, Djedda, did outlive her - and if so, I am sure her maid (she was more of a confidant, best friend and mother) Bruna Lupoli took great care of them.
I don't agree with everything Callas has done, especially with leaving her husband for a rat like Onassis, and her feminist beliefs. But in regards to insisting on opera be both technically and believably solid, she was accurate!
You are actually insane. Please refrain from visiting my channel or commenting on it ever again, and that is, if I'm merciful and don't block you beforehand.
I assume you mean the husband who stole all her money. It's unfortunate that she ended up with Onassis but her decision to leave Meneghini was inevitable
@@jonbaumit’s a shame she was apparently swept off her feet by someone like Onassis who IMO was unworthy of her. I don’t think he was capable of appreciating her incomparable artistry and the important role she played in the world of opera.
My dog used to do that to me when I would sing with her. She's in heaven now. I hope she's singing with La Callas and her poodles. 😢
I'm sorry to hear. 🙏🏻

She had me at "You could do better than that"... ever the perfectionist, clearly! It's so good to hear her laugh and have fun...
she's so talented even her dog is a soprano 😭🤣
Love forever Callas ❤
1:03 listen to that perfect scale!!! And it is 1968!
She was the best

Maria è come un cigno .. anche la sua risata è elegante.

l'accademia dei Cani tanti!! Grandiosa Maria!!
The man speaking is George Lascelles (Lord Harewood). This gem is probably an outtake from The Callas Conversations.
Adorata Maria Callas ❤️
Con l'ultimo vocalizzo ci si puo' fare tutta una Semiramide!.
That's a precious recording. Lol
El perro la imitaba cantando, es increíble, gracias por compartirlo!!!
Wonderful!!!
And some claimed Callas was humorless
She was the greatest Rossinian comedienne of her time!

She wasn’t remotely feminist in her beliefs.
