- La mamma morta (They killed my mother) is an aria from the 1896 opera Andrea Chénier by Umberto Giordano. It is sung by the role of Maddalena di Coigny (soprano). . . This video is best viewed at 720p on a full screen. All lyrics are included in Italian and in English.
A very brief summary of the plot:
The story takes place during the French Revolution. The title of the opera is also the name of the main character, André Chénier, a poet and believer in love and freedom. The story opens at the château de Coigny where Maddalena, a countess, is having a party which Chénier attends. These are the two major roles.
The third major role is Gérard, a servant, who secretly loves Maddalena. Gérard later joins Robespierre's Reign of Terror. Eventually, Chénier and Maddalena fall in love. Gérard, who moves up in the ranks, has Chénier (who opposes the reign of terror) arrested but arranges for Maddalena to be spared. Unfortunately for Gérard, Maddalena chooses to die with Chénier rather than live without him. They are both sent to the guillotine.
The opera is obviously more complicated than this brief synopsis but this is the gist of it. "La mamma morta" is also sung by Maria Callas in the 1993 movie, "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. The scene where Hanks listens to and interprets this aria is phenomenal and contributed to earning him an Oscar for his role in the movie. - เพลง
My mother died 2 years ago and this aria captures my own grief and my sorrow for those who have died from this virus. But this aria, and the ethereal voice of Maria Callas gives me strength to keep going, keep loving, and not loss heart. Miss you mom, you are with me every day.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your words touched me deeply. She will always be by your side..next to you
A mother is a mother, whatvever the age with got, she's still our mother and i know she's here with me, i pray for her, i think of her a lot, mom help me, protect me, i love you.
Sorry for your loss. But people die from the flu every year, this virus has been vastly exaggerated as part of agenda 2030 and the great reset "build back better"
@@joseph1845 Thx but she's died in 2019, before the covid, she was sick and tired and she was smoking since she was 16 years old, thx for your great word mr Butcher :)
I totally agree with you this song takes you to the bottom but at the same time ejects you to continues life lharder.
Eine der größten Stimmen, welche die Menschheit jemals hervorgebracht hat, wahrhaft eine unsterbliche Stimme!
This song ( from Philadelphia) is when I started appreciating opera, and bought the callas cd. This song should be heard by ALL.
Una Fortuna lacrima
@@kristinfrederix2924 una furtiva lagrima ?
Opera is very pure
This "song"? From Philadelphia"? Antoine Pirson, this is not a "song" but a Umberto Giordano's masterpiece, from Andrea Chénier... Sorry...

GOD I JUST WATCHED THE "PHILADELPHIA" ON ROKU AND THIS RECORD WAS PLAYED BY TOM HANKS AS DENZEL WASHINGTON WATCHED HIS REACTION...ONE OF THE SADEST MOMENTS IN THIS VERY SAD FILM...MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME I SEE IT...
My all time favourite female aria.
I first heard this in Philadelphia starring Tom Hanks and cried my heart out there in the cinema.
My dad played opera to me early in my life and I've loved it ever since.
Pure emotion, pure sensitivity and you either love it or hate it.
And I'm PROUD to admit Opera is my favourite musical style above all others.
I would like to try to give you something: th-cam.com/video/oEcJysA7-QE/w-d-xo.html
Me too
Arrepiante ... emocionante esta ária na voz espetacular de Maria Callas.
Callas was the original diva notoriously difficult to work with but oh what a voice
Maria Callas!! Her singing this aria in "Philadelphia" was the best part of that movie (even with Tom Hanks mumbling along with the area and crying so hard to show that he was "a real opera lover"! Guess Hollywood doesn't trust an American audience to appreciate a great operatic moment just by itself.
I cry each and every time I listen to it! Pure perfection!

Nicola Varvazzo me too

Je ne comprends pas tout,sa voix ma complètement envoûté,moi qui ne peut pas rester en place plus de 10 minute,je peut l'écouter chante des heures sans bouger,je suis hypnotisé par cette chanson!!!!!* * * ça fait des années que je l'écoute et ça me fait toujours cette effet
Je vous aime♡Maria ... ....
Une fervente admiratrice.
C magnifique
Am not French but understood a few words - its just her voice - cest magnifique tres x
Que je comprend ...
Callas is divine. Simply a legend, nevertheless, Callas is the best soprano of the 20th Century.
And all the future centuries
So very true
This aria sung by Maria Callas is one of the most intense experiences in existence - but your superb video enhances it still further; I would not have deemed it possible! Thank you also for the subtitles elucidating Luigi Illica's marvellous libretto which inspired Giordano to attain the apex of his genius! (The other arias in "Andrea Chénier": "Un dì all'azzurro spazio", "Come un bel dì di maggio" and "Nemico della patria" are also absolutely splendid!)
what an impressive expression of pure art. we need suffering in order to experience joy and love. we must embrace both in order to feel their intensity. thanks!
You are right🥲
3:40 just gets me everytime. Her voice makes me cry for a second.
Absolutely the best! I also love her singing Un Bel Di in Madama Butterfly. A legend
madam butterfly such a pure opera never been more pure then madam Butterly
René Pariente: C'est une merveille: le plus beau morceau d'André Chenier, par la Callas.
This song evokes such powerful imagery of the chaos during the French Revolution. If I close my eyes I can vividly see the flames burning down her home, I can see her watching in the shadows covered in mud & dirt from hiding in the vineyards or wooded area. I can hear the gun fire, screams, I can feel her surrounded in literal darkness, stars above in tattered clothes with a tear ,stained cheek. I can smell the gunpowder, iron, body odor & blood. Almost as if it were the actual sounds of the French Revolution. Such a colossally moving song that leaves you achingly frightened. Kudos. Btw the entire opera Andrea Chenier is on TH-cam. The costumes, makeup, vocals & acting are incredibly intense! I urge fans of La Momma Morta & opera to check it out! There arr couple but the legit one has a thumbnail of the actresses in heavy white makeup with exaggerated wigs can't miss it!(sorry can't get the link atm)
Breathe taking. She is magnificent and the meaning of perfection
What a voice! It truly touches the soul. So tragic to learn how unhappy she was throughout most of her life.
A chaque fois que j ' écoute ce magnifique morceaux, j'ai des frissons qui me traversent le corp. La plus belle voix du monde.
Elle fait pleurer… de tristesse ou de joie???
Probably the greatest Masterpiece in music history. The text (libretto) is really beyond imagination.
What an interesting mix of French Revolution and modern images to accompany such a magnificent performance.
this can not surpassed by any other soprano, this is perfection in every way ! bravo!!!
most beautiful and moving piece of music and vocals

Goosebumps! Her finest role in my opinion.

Simply a total re-charge of the soul to listen to this. It's good with subtitles but amazing in Italian
Thank you for sharing this wonderful aria. It was featured in the movie "Philadelphia" in a scene where tears were difficult to hold back. The album of the full opera just became available through Arkiv Music, the Maria Callas version on two discs for $9.99, and needless to say, I ordered it this evening. Listening to your share has made my evening.
Meravigliosa la Callas e meravigliosa la musica! Tutte le volte che l'ascolto mi commuovo...
Dear Eileen. Thank you very for translating this beautiful son and making this impressive video that illustrates it perfectly. It open my mind and my heart much more, as I was not able to understand this divine message. thanks a lot
Beautiful video with the words . awesome art thank you so much
BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING!!!
this voice sets the gold standard for Opera as a whole. intemporal
Really lovely. Thank you
I had to come back to this Maria sings with such passion
I've listened to a few versions of this aria. So far Maria blows everyone away.
I saw Ms. Amara as Mimi (La Boheme) in Philadelphia's Academy of Music. It was in the mid 70's. I was most familiar with her Pagliaci recording with Corelli. Well, what a surprise the was. I always liked her voice,but, I was shocked at her tremendius expressiveness through tremendous access to shading, color and great ability to arch her legato phrases. So much of those attributes were not in as evident through recordings. Even naturally larger voices such as Tebaldi and Tucker were not fully served in recordings. Amara and a number of others in that period were spectacular exponents of fine vocal arts.
Splendide ! 😍 Mon morceau préféré
Amazingly beautiful video for an amazingly beautiful, stirring song. Thank you for sharing!
Hermosas imágenes para acompañar esta bella aria. Gracias.
Un'emozione sempre più intensa ad ogni ascolto. Almeno per quest'aria, Maria non la potrà mai superare nessuno. Sembra averla scritta lei.
💙💙💙
Grazie voce insuperabile e splendido video.

I can't agree more with the above comments. The pictures match the mood of the aria perfectly! Absolutely wonderful job.
perfection! bravo bravo!!
Video, music and performer: really 'opera d'arte!' Congratulations! Thanks for posting!
Sconvolgente, quest'aria è così bella, nell' Andrea Chenier di Bruno Giordano.........Il testo è un inno all’amore e alla luce in fondo al tunnel, sempre e comunque…violenta, risoluta, tenace, decisa…di Maria Callas mi incatena ad ascoltarla e a partecipare del suo dolore e della sua infinita speranza…679
Simplemente maravillosa..¡¡
