Maria Callas and her art has no limits, she was the great Diva of te XXth century and has not been equalised till this day. She was the only one and they will never be another Callas.
Rita Gorr in the original French version ("Vous voyez de vos fils la mère infortunée") is well up to this level of perfection. In fact, she's the only one to rival Callas in the role.
It is a wonderful opera but a killer to sing. But Callas made it sound easy! Beethoven said that in his opinion it was the best opera composed. And I guess his opinion must count for something!! She was magnificent in it. She had us all spellbound and motionless in our seats from the beginning right to the end.
da una parte risolve con stile perfettamente classico un ruolo ibrido, che guarda sia a Beethoven sia al barocco italiano, con vocali perfettamente a fuoco e suoni rotondi a tutte le altezze, dall'altra ritaglia un momento particolare dell'opera che non è ancora di furia e odio puro, ma di tenerezza estrema per lo sposo e anche di rimpianto per essere stata già tradita (come farà Santuzza). Resta solo da inchinarsi...
Dei tuoi figli la madre tu vedi vinta e afflitta, I am the mother of your sons, won and plagued fatta trista per te, e pur d ate proscritta. Hated and prosecuted for you, Tu lo sai quanto un giorno t'amò, crudel! Those precious days you loved cruel one! A te fu cara un dì, crudel! You met and loved her in a day! Cruelty! Sola qui, senza amor, scacciata, dolorosa, Alone here, without amor, driven away, painfully! Se mai mi fossi apparso io sarei buona ancora; If you throw me to the pits, I would never sink! Se mai mi fossi apparso, sarei pietosa! If you don't do this, I would be merciful! Il cor non sapea le orrende passioni; My heart, full of passions; Scorrea la notte in sogni buoni, Scour the night in good dreams Splendeva a me sereno il dì. The quiet day shone to calm me Ero felice allor, avevo un padre, I was happy there, I had a father Un nido : ho dato tutto a te: A nest: I have given you all you need and want! Torna sposo per me! And what do you return to me? Crudel! Crudel! Cruelty! Cruelty! Io non voglio che te solo. I do not want you alone! Medea t'implora qui, Medea, ai piedi tuoi starà ! I Medea implore you here, the feet will be mine! Pietà ! per tanto amor che volli a te, pietà ! Mercy! I loved you a lot, have mercy Torna a me! torna sposo per me! He returns to me! My husband returns to me

"HO DATO TUTTO A TE!" .... Ineguagliabile!
Callas made impossible possible. Her devotion, sacrifices and passion were incomparable, the ultimate artist of all time.
I first heard this when I was 5. I am 71 and it still moves me
I am very envious ❤. No one destroys me like La Divina!
Unrivaled rendering of this extraordinary aria. This aria is everything .

wonderful opera.... my favorite.... and my first opera that i was listening , it is an electrical experience...
Maravillosa, maravillosa, maravillosa!!!! Sin comparación en este rol... "Ho dado tutto a te"
I'm glad people still love her art.
Come ciò sarebbe possibile? La vita avrà sempre bisogno di bellezza, sennò è perduta ❤❤
Maria Callas, como siempre impresionante voz
Masterpiece! Divine Callas!
I love this opera too! REally love it.. I guess since Callas made me notice it..
awesome for the first video. my favorite soprano and opera too. Callas forever. Thank you so much. love the photo you picked. THANK YOU so so much
Exquisite Medea!. I love her 1955 album.

As Medea was betrayed so was Maria Callas
Legato, Legato,legato…brava!
Callas eterna Medea.

Dei tuoi figli la madre tu vedi vinta e afflitta,
I am the mother of your sons, won and plagued
fatta trista per te, e pur d ate proscritta.
Hated and prosecuted for you,
Tu lo sai quanto un giorno t'amò, crudel!
Those precious days you loved cruel one!
A te fu cara un dì, crudel!
You met and loved her in a day! Cruelty!
Sola qui, senza amor, scacciata, dolorosa,
Alone here, without amor, driven away, painfully!
Se mai mi fossi apparso io sarei buona ancora;
If you throw me to the pits, I would never sink!
Se mai mi fossi apparso, sarei pietosa!
If you don't do this, I would be merciful!
Il cor non sapea le orrende passioni;
My heart, full of passions;
Scorrea la notte in sogni buoni,
Scour the night in good dreams
Splendeva a me sereno il dì.
The quiet day shone to calm me
Ero felice allor, avevo un padre,
I was happy there, I had a father
Un nido : ho dato tutto a te:
A nest: I have given you all you need and want!
Torna sposo per me!
And what do you return to me?
Crudel! Crudel!
Cruelty! Cruelty!
Io non voglio che te solo.
I do not want you alone!
Medea t'implora qui, Medea, ai piedi tuoi starà !
I Medea implore you here, the feet will be mine!
Pietà ! per tanto amor che volli a te, pietà !
Mercy! I loved you a lot, have mercy
Torna a me! torna sposo per me!
He returns to me! My husband returns to me
Hi the English translation is not good at all sorry
without Callas nobody would listen to this Opera (Medea) anymore, don't forget that
Eccellente
" CASTA DIVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
DEUSA QUE ECOA PELA ETERNIDADE "CASTA DIVA".
Medea t'implora qui, Medea!
Tre non mi piace alla Medea della Callas???La Callas era Medea in persona e come Lei nessuna in questo ruoloSembra scritto per lei
