- "La mamma morta" ("The death mother") is an aria of the 1896 opera Andrea Chénier by Umberto Giordano, sung by the role of Maddalena di Coigny (soprano). At this point in the opera Maddalena, daughter of a noble family, was telling Gérard, one of the men rivalling for her love, of how she has been orphaned when her mother was killed protecting her during the turmoils of the French Revolution. She almost gave up on life when her faithful servant Bersi was forced to "trade her beauty" (possibly prostituted) in order to save her when she was ill. This desperation is implied in the line Porto sventura a chi bene mi vuole! (Woe to those who love me well!) which is placed at the centre of the aria. From this point onwards, Maddalena recalls hearing the "voice of love", which promises companionship and forgetfulness of the horrors of Revolution.

While watching the Philadelphia movie, I'll NEVER forget the power, the emotion of this aria... the enactment of a man dying... his feelings, his agony of life itself! I instantly burst into tears when Ms. Callas hit the highest note at the peak of the music, the culmination of the story :'-( -- "I will walk with you... I'm LOVE itself; I am Divine, I am Love... LOVE. The scene, the words, the emotion of the music completely overwhelmed me! There's only one Being I know who is the epitome of endless LOVE, comfort, mercy and strength which is expressed so beautifully in this aria! -- Thank you Mr. Panahi for sharing.
I have listened to this aria many times prior to the movie (I love Maria Callas) but that scene in PHilidelphia was priceless!!
I cries and she sucks the air out of lungs...it crazy, i cant breathe in the moment. This is everlasting. Oh! Love this!
I am love, itself...that truly resonated with me ..I love your comment...beautifully articulated. God bless you!
Yes, the high note snatches my breath away every time even though I have played the video 100 times and more. But, the next two notes, the slight gliss' are also killers. A powerful piece by the greatest soprano ever IMO.
no doubt that scene got Hanks's the Oscar. and incredibly powerful and with the war in Ukraine, this song resonates with me even more strongly.
I understand from the translations, that the general theme of the aria is a positive one (love lifting you out of grief), but I can’t help but feel deeply sad whenever I listen to it. And whenever I start listening to this, I will put it on repeat, just to drown myself in melancholy.
I think that is a perfect depiction of life, that even in Di spear there can be hope and love. Those moments when are so lost in despair and all you have is your kinship to God are too both beautiful and melancholy. For me I just hear escapism; a woman who knows nothing but the pain of loss. The sentiments of joy are fleeting and one that may never come to fruition. But her faith powers through to avoid solemn truths. It’s a dreamscape, a false reality not meant to be.
Maria Callas is the greatest voice the world has ever heard in my humble opinion. And this is her finest work. I cannot ever get through this aria without being in floods of tears.
Thank you, Philadelphia. I probably never would have known of this if it wasn't for that gut wrenching, heartbreaking scene when Tom Hanks was translating the words. So powerful. So...emotional.
hear hear!
Es verdad😂❤
How is this even humanly possible! What talent and beauty!!! May she Rest In Peace.
This song is the entrance to classic music. You dont need to understand, just feel it.
Still the best! I don't think her rendition will ever be surpassed.
Try Angela Gheorghiu! Is not about surpass Callas, besides Callas was unique, but so is Gheorghiu!
I cry everytime. I feel ashamed at attempting to sing this aria, after this woman has given and shown every emotions that could be shown through this piece of art.
"made a market of her beauty to save me..." Such poetry!
Maria Callas a singer from another world!!!
I feel a touch empty having never seen this miracle live. Her and Corelli sang each note like it was their last........look up passion and you find their picture.
R.I.P Maria I miss you so very much.

Masterpiece
This is from Andre Chernier. Later sung in the film Philadelphia. Tom Hawks.
So Beautiful
Doesn't feel the same...englis is to cold, to direct...italian es no just a language, its passion, its love, it makes you feel all emotions altogether!
Maria Callas is the best thing ever that happend to the opera world ! But Angela Gheorghiu is the second very best! Listen also to Gheorghiu on this Aria
I'm the God that descends on EarthFrom the Empyrean, I turn EarthInto heaven! Ah
Divine comedy
I sincerely doubt this can be duplicated.
Aclaracion: Yma Sumac no era soprano era coloratura una tesitura muy rara. Tambien lo era Mado Robin la unica que ha podido interpretar una aria del Barbero de Sevilla llamada 'ligera golondrina".
Philadelphia..
The greatest white female voice of all time.
wow
Wonder what's the story behind the song? Its seems so sad
It's about a woman who's mother was killed during the French Revolution and her home was burnt down. Her servant Bersi sold her body to look after her when she got ill and she felt she was a cruel burden to everyone around her, hence all her crying out in sorrow.
A voice then comes to her and tells her that love will come her way and she must live. As to who the voice is....it could be her mother's ghost or an angel or God. It's left up to you to discern.
Ох…..💔💔💔😢❤️❤️❤️
No jose luis actualmente los mas grandes criticos y eruditos en la materia reconocen que hay voces mucho mas flexibles y completas que la Callas. En lo particular me gusta mucho pero no en todas las arias. Sus agudos no son agradables...
