    Her Italian was better than the average spoken Italian people speak in Italy nowadays. Syntactically and grammatically was flawless. Spettacolare.

      It is normal to speak several languages in Europe, at least 3. It has to do with the exposure. In her case, she went to live in the various countries she speaks the language of. She was born in the US, lived in Italy and in Greece, ended up living in France until she died. Totally expected for her to speak these 4 languages. Her music ? fantastic and that is what she could do with her voice. Her life is fascinating as she lived with and loved the man who made her famous and beautiful but he lost her to a greedy and narcissistic man. She fell for that fake human being as he took everything she had, then he dumped her for a flat footed, dull and greedy American woman, who had been the US first lady. Onassis was despicable and by loving him, she lost her glitter as a performer and a woman. At the end, they all died, eventually as we all do. Maria went out, with her respect and dignity , still loving that opportunistic man who brought her much but took it all with him, when he died. That is the power of love.

    This interview is very moving in many ways... this was in 1966, two year before she was dumped by Onassis and just 1 year after her very last performance of a whole opera on a stage (Tosca, London July 1965). Yet, you can feel a terrible sadness in her voice and in her words... It seems that she already knows what is going to happen with Onassis. At that time, she had never announced she would retire but it's interesting to listen to her speaking about a career that has existed, and of which she perfectly knows is already behind her.

    Her Casta Diva was the 1st one which sent me directly to the libretto! The talent? Not the voice as much as the interpretation. And how she managed all the Romance languages! Her speaking voice, like that of Tebaldi, by the way, is perfectly placed, forward, non-nasal, her American English so beautiful...like her Italian. So much better than most American speakers.

    Her relationships with various opera houses have always been difficult; it was the same with La Scala.
    MC: Certainly, La Scala had things it couldn’t accommodate. With so many heads to please, one has their own artistic ideas. So, at a certain point, you get tired. There’s no time to politely ask or wonder if they listened. You have to firmly put your foot down. These are things that happen in all professions, all jobs. They’re episodes that come along with successful work.
    Q: They compared you to Pasta Malibran. What do I think of myself?
    MC: There are few great artists, few who truly love art with a million to work devotedly and pessimistically, believing they’re worth nothing. Like what we did, working 12-14 hours a day, arguing, trembling, crying with joy-all to create something special, something integral. I believe that doesn’t exist, not yet. Until new artists emerge, I don’t want to offend anyone.
    I don’t think it’s pride on my part to say that today, the school we come from, it doesn’t exist anymore. Money is earned too easily, there are too many travels, glories, successes given too easily. I’m not talking only about La Scala; the same goes for other places. People come to La Scala and achieve things that shouldn’t be done.
    Q: When you said no to some places, what led to your refusal?
    MC: I can’t say. Every role, for me, has had so much love. Every role I’ve accepted, more or less, brought pleasure. But each one required something because in these seven years, each role served the other. Every role served to show what kind of artist I am, of course, but also as a woman, a soul. It took everything, not a single role was useless.
    They say my proud manner is due to shyness. But how does someone shy get what they want? I never like to ask for something, maybe it’s shyness because I’m always afraid of rejection and suffering. Perhaps it’s a complex of mine. I don’t like asking. They offer, they say it’s good. I say I like it, I would have liked this or that. I think this role could come before or after the other. So, it’s collaboration. I’ve never asked for a role. I’ve never said, “I want this.” Maybe I’ve said, “I’d like this, I wouldn’t like that,” but I’m not ready yet. I wouldn’t like it this year, maybe next year. But I think with La Scala, we’ve never had difficulties about this.
    Q: Did your refusal come from?
    MC: I can’t say. I can say that every role, for me, has had a lot of love. Every role has been accepted, more or less, with pleasure. But everything took something because in these seven years, one role served another. Each role served to show what I’m made of as an artist, certainly as a woman, as a soul. I think every role was necessary. There was nothing useless.

    Q: When you turned down a role, what prompted your refusal?
    MC: can’t say. Every role, for me, has had a lot of love. Every role was accepted, more or less, with pleasure. But each one required something because in these seven years, one role served the other. Each role served to demonstrate what I’m made of as an artist, naturally, as a woman, as a soul. I believe each role was necessary. There was nothing useless.
    They say my proud demeanor comes from shyness. But how can someone shy achieve what they want? I never like to ask for something.

But I think with La Scala, we’ve never had difficulties about this.
    Q: Will you return to singing at La Scala?
    MC: They haven’t told me. They keep telling me every year, every month. But when I return, I want to come back when I have peace. Not peace from the audience-I know that’s there. Intimately, not with myself, because I know I’m working even if others leave. That is, if the small enemies, the ones I mentioned before, the pointless troublemakers, which I think don’t exist anymore, if they leave me alone. Also, personally, my husband. He should leave me in peace so I can return almost to my homeland, because Italy is my homeland, especially musically. To return in complete peace, to work for La Scala, which is the only theater in the world, the only one that’s truly mine. It suffered with me, felt with me, received the best of me.

    • @Gabriel-hs9mv
      @Gabriel-hs9mv 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I’d say these are the main points:
      1. Her relationship with La Scala di Milano was akin to a married couple: petty fights, ups and downs, but in the end a joyful and successful relationship.
      2. Her struggle to get to the top, through hard work, 14 hour work days, high emotions, her musical background and education at the end of the day... all of that does not exist any more. Success is too easily attained, glory is within reach too easily. At La Scala you must arrive “ all done “, not “ in the process of making “.
      3. She has accepted all her roles gracefully, even if she has certain insecurities and still thinks she might get refused if she asks. Opera at the end of the day is about working together, which she has done at La Scala except for her first year where there was a bit of mistrust.
      4. She plans to come back and sing when she sorts out her private life and her husband leaves her alone. She considers Italy to be her motherland, her country, even more musically speaking.
