Absolutely wonderful! Her Tosca is still the reference... what still amazes me is the tempo of the orchestra, it isn’t waiting for anybody, no time to prepare, to think, just deliver... is frenetic, like a machine... and Gobbi is like a toreador, closing on her, closing on her, you hear it in the orchestra and you hear it in the voices... For a moment you are not listening to music, it is something else, it trascends, it becomes part of you and for ever changed you are, nothing sounds the same or alike... you have witnessed art.
We paid for seats but only used the edge. She modernized opera by acting naturally and not merely relying on her God given vocal ability. She has never been equalled as I write in 2020. RIP Ultimate Diva.
Woonderful well done professional video but more than that: a very fair video!!! She was a real PRIMA DONNA ASSOLUTA. Forever LA DIVINA and the divine does not belong to this world ;-)
I don't know how many times I've watched Act ll of Tosca. Yet seeing this fragment again, my reaction was, 'How COULD he torment this woman that way?' Her reactions were so convincing as to make art supercede life.
02:30: "Maria Callas' career was short ...". It doesn't seem to me that 24 years (from 1941, "Bocaccio", Athens, to 1965, "Tosca", London) are that short.

2:07 Holy SHIT!!! That gave me chills.
Lissandra Freljord OMG, I LOVE CALLAS AS WELL AS LISSANDRA MAIN HERE HAHA
Yeah, those high notes gave me the chills.
Callas & Gobbi "playing off" each other, spellbinding!
Unmatchable!!!
Very nice what Freni said...and so true.
She is until this very day Unique no one like Her... no one.
Indeed, no one like her... no one!! ;-)
Gobbi + Callas = Perfection Brava La Divina!

The greatest
Truly opera
Callas is the greatest opera singer from all time. If I have to define Callas in one word and I would say SUPERNOVA.

She is The unique Tosca forevet
Due geni, due colonne portanti.

Tosca is Just CALLAS
I was awaiting the "NEL POZZO, DEL GIARDINO!" :D
La Callas di Gobbi quella di Zeffirelli ecc. Peccato che sul suo cammino ci sia la Tebaldi ossia la Tosca di Puccini quella autentica.
La Collossa.
Incredible *-*

Чваньковитый талант, хоть я во многих ролях кроме Тоски) предпочитаю других..
All her videos show her in declining voice.
great performer without a voice
Talk about over acting. She’s horrible
