When she was interviewed in French, the interviewers are well wishing and quite admiring. When she was interviewed in America, the interviewers were always quite agressive, focusing on he problems, on her private life
When you think about it, Callas shares great wisdom with her public in this interview: It doesn't matter whether you're a diva or a cleaning lady, it's HOW you fulfill your role that matters. I think that is a very important message, one that could perhaps also help destroy a lot of barrieres in society: It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, black or white, poor or rich: It is how you comport yourself that is important.
I agree. I had the same feelings watching Margot Fonteyn and Anna Moffo speak. I sure there are many other examples of unpretentious sophistication to be found.
That brief excerpt from NORMA, Paris May 1964, says it all. Her voice is in full decline but she serves the music with supreme intelligence, some impressive volume still, and impeccable phrasing, singing "closed". And oh my goodness that regal stage presence, economy of gestures, those eyes!
Deux géants (L. Visconti et M.Callas) comme on en verra plus, car notre époque ne le permet pas. Chacun a évolué jusqu'aux limites de son art, en suivant un chemin glorieux, plus difficile dans le cas de Callas. Maintenant, le pognon a tout tué et seul l'audimat supposé compte ...
"...pouvoir, au moins pour quelques années, terminer en beauté." Etait-ce seulement possible ? Tu le savais, Maria, dès 1957, que tu avais atteint le sommet de ton art. Dés lors tout ne pouvait être que déception. Et pour nous, frustration, et tristesse...Comme nous t'avons aimée, NOUS !
Le crépuscule d'une diva. J'ai eu le plaisir de regarder cette interview en direct, Maria semblait alors très détendue heureuse.... C'est vrai que nous l'aimons. Nous l'aimons tant, que longtemps après son décès, lorsqu'au cinéma, je regardai la superbe interprétation de Fanny Ardant dans le rôle de « Callas forever » dans le passage où elle s'effondre en écoutant un enregistrement de sa voix du temps où elle était la Callas. » Je n'ai pas honte de l'avouer, mais je n'ai pu réprimer un sanglot. Oui 512gontran,vous avez raison, nous l'aimons, et cet amour ne mourra qu'avec nous.
Netrebko doesn't even speak proper English. No German, no Italian, no French. She sings in those languages though, even at La Scala, and she is a citizen of Austria. That's the 21st century.
ok, if one would be prepared to refrain from being judgemental and think a bit instead, I’d suggest to consider that Anna Netrebko was still born and grew up in the USSR and consequently had most likely neither English nor French in school. Her career outside Russia was immediately a huge success and international from the beginning, This means that unlike most of her colleagues like Jessye Norman and practically all opera stars she did not sing for years in one of the German Opera Houses as a member of the ensemble thus being exposed to German on an everyday basis and in this way learning it more or less automatically. As far as I know she sang for the word go all over the world, rehearsing, performing, studying new repertoire in various languages. She did have to focus on English because you can’t do without it when you work internationally as a singer. Meanwhile her English is good enough. And now some super smart people reprimand her for not having incidentally learned French, German, Italian as well.
Sa relation avec Onassis l'a détruite. Elle a sacrifié sa carrière pour lui et il l' a laissé tombé pour Jackie ( qu'il n'aimait d'ailleurs pas, il l' a épousé parce-que c'était la veuve du président américain et une icone mondiale, ce mariage rehaussait son prestige personnel ). Maria a fait beaucoup de choses pour lui plaire comme perdre du poids (elle était vraiment au sommet de sa carrière à l'époque ou elle était obèse) , et il l'a initié aux plaisirs de la dolce vita, ce qui lui a beaucoup plu, elle a certainement éprouvé à un moment donné le besoin de faire une pause dans sa vie d'artiste pour faire comme les autres femmes, se marier et fonder une famille et tenter de vivre une vie heureuse, ce qu'une carrière aussi accomplie soit-elle ne pouvait pas lui apporter, mais avec un homme, aussi imbu de sa personne, comme Onassis c'était impossible.
Si jamais quelqu’un avait osé douter que le français est la langue définitive de la culture… For anyone who ever doubted that french is THE language of culture. Callas and Visconti, both geniuses and masters of art and culture - neither one of them native French-speakers - naturally speaking perfect French to each other because French is the language of art.
She picked that habit up with that Greece gangster. She quit a few years later but after the smoking, drinking etc, her voice was lost. Sure, we have to see these things also in conjunction with the overstraining in the early years. Her then husband sold her like he sold his bricks.
@@krollpeter I have made lots of research and no trustworthy source says that. If you can send me a reliable source that says that it would be much appreciated
@@krollpeter oh and by the way she didn’t lose her voice because of smoking and drinking but because she had a disease. She says that in her last interview which was unpublished and got published after her death
These disgusting men: they all smoked in front of Maria Callas, non-stop during all the duration of the interview! I would have chased them from the room, this proving that Maria was not that much of a Tigress as some said!

Incroyable interview 🥰 Incroyable femme, incroyables archives Merci à vous.
This world is not able to do justice to Maria Callas. She´s too precious.
I don't even speak either of these beautiful languages. I enjoy seeing her facial expressions, nobility, and the sound of her speaking voice.
Dieu que ce couple est émouvant
c"est dingue ce que Visconti parle si bien francais
Le sourire de Callas est divin

Agree entirely!

@@MarkusTronsg tre Grandi alla pari.
Magnifique interview qui dévoile plein de secrets et confessions d’artiste - Maria Callas ✨✨✨
Quelle beauté... et quelle présence ! J'aime écouter sa voie, même lorsqu'elle parle, elle est tellement vraie j'aime sa pensée !
Théa Khayat elle es Divine, pleines de grâce et d'élégance. Grecque dans le sang.
INCOMPARABILE CALLAS! UNA DONA, UNA VOCE PER SEMPRE!!!
love her-not the only one saying this. Bless you beautiful angel xx
Mais quelle voix ! la plus belle voix du monde. les frissons quand elle parle
Das ist ein sehr menschliches, persönliches Interview. Wenn sie ins Reden kommt, zeigt sie sich. Der normale Mensch hinter dem Übermensch Callas.
Divinamente umana, semplicemente straordinaria la Callas!
Qué voz, María Callas...de niña vi una puesta en la Ciudad de México y me enamoré de su voz
Che meraviglia, la sua voce aveva 1000 sfumature in una sola nota
Mon dieu avec Maria calas on pas d autre choix que de l admiré 💜💜

Sie ist unglaublich! Wunderschön, eine Künstlerin, wie es keine zweite gibt und dazu so tief weise. Ich wusste nicht, wie weise sie war.

Quel malheur que personne aujourd'hui n'approche la hauteur du genoux de ces gens là...
This is exquisite ❤️ they speak French much better than most of French people!
??? N'importe quoi
Божественна

Che brutto secolo...sopratutto per l'arte e il Melodramma in particolare.
Vogliamo paragonare Callas e Visconti? Questa è arte in altro caso non pervenuto

The language of art,science,humanity is the greek language,the mother of all the european languages.
Using a very narrow definition of "culture" and "art" perhaps
@@SouthSkyBlue I think you mean ‘narrow’, so I guess you don’t speak French or proper English… 😆
You’re just an ignorant little cnt.
These days I think very few singers would risk their voice and lungs by smoking!? Some do I suppose?
5:33-6:50 😂😂😂
smoking in front of La Diva? How inappropriate!!
Callas loved a cigarette herself :)
Callas was also a smoker.
She picked that habit up with that Greece gangster. She quit a few years later but after the smoking, drinking etc, her voice was lost. Sure, we have to see these things also in conjunction with the overstraining in the early years. Her then husband sold her like he sold his bricks.
@@krollpeter she wasn’t a smoker and she didn’t drink much. Where did you hear that?

As a singer I find it horrible that she had to breathe their smoke!!! I would have told them to stop!

@@alixvhessen And even her teacher Elvira de Hidalgo was a heavy smoker.
They weren’t so sensitive back then and still were better than the singers nowadays.

I can see why Onassis was attracted to Jackie Kennedy- they could pass for sisters- the same type physically
Wenn sie gut drauf war, konnte sie alles singen...
