She's always so much more intelligent than those asking her questions. Mike Wallace tried so hard to pierce her, bleed her, break her open, and she elegantly parried his clumsy attacks with the merest hand movements and a few wise words.
I'm three minutes into this interview and wondering why she is still entertaining this fool? Amazing how she keeps smiling and entertaining his garbage. What grace!
The interviewer is just fine - he is simply asking the kind of somewhat indelicate questions to which everyone wants to hear the answers. Besides, Callas is more than a match for him. You don't see her being the least bit non-plussed or even slightly irritated. Also, never forget - these people being interviewed receive the questions in advance. It's all a bit staged. I know, because I've worked in this business for 40 years.
Journalists always wanted to analyse her personality like she was at the therapist. As they knew her better than she herself. And she needed to defend herself all the time. 😡
I did notice the journalists treated the interviews with her like an interrogation. She is so amazing and deep not like the entertainers today. The females want to be pubescent and giggle. Ms. Callas was a profound artist.
Mais quelle bêtise chez le journaliste et quelle patience elle a pour répondre. On devine tout de suite la grande dame et l’immense chanteuse qu’elle fut et est toujours. Merci Maria Callas ❤️
voice mind languages would mean nothing to the wolrd had she not looked like a model and had a social life with the socialites. that's the sad truth ( about the world). When I think of the incredible( few but they exist) artists in classical music now that nobody ( no manager, no audience) really pays attention to simply because they refuse to wear the mini skirts...
Elle avait une classe et une élégance impressionnante , à elle seule tout le résumé d'une époque hélas révolue , quand à sa voix , son timbre si particulier capable de monter à des sommets qui vous transportent dans les cimes , que je me suis souvent demandé si en résumé cette femme n'était tout simplement pas envoyée du paradis dans notre monde pour nous enchanter ...
Hélas , à la fin de sa courte vie , elle était trop consciente qu'elle n'était plus la grande , unique , inoubliable Maria Callas.... C'est pour cela que le monde entier parle toujours autant de cette magnifique artiste. Les déesses ne meurent pas disait d'elle , Rolf Lieberman. Merci Madame Callas
She was so sexy as "herself"! I wasn't expecting that! As "La Callas", she was a marble-monument-beauty. Great actress - to top her voice and musicality.
I have seen countless interviews with the fascinating Madame Callas. No matter how many times I see this intelligent artist speak, I'm continually fascinated, enchanted and intrigued. I feel the same about her beautiful work. Her voice was so layered with passion, intensity, clarity, elegance and a bit of brashness. Totally unique and unparalleled. She also involved into a truly beautiful and elegant woman, completely separate from La Callas.
She really is quick-witted. I've watched this video several times, and it doesn't fail to send me in mixed feelings. I love her. She is my one and only opera singer.
Maria talks about being human but she was the most divine and angelic ever. I never realised how beautiful she was young! She was Greek too and I am proud, but her divine greatness is actually above nations and belongs to the whole humanity! Btw was it me or the interviewer was being kind of a disrespectful a*****e? Anyways it doesn't really matter, it's the destiny of the greatest of this world to suffer by the stupidity of the jealous and ungrateful surrounding people
@@linanicolia1363 So do I. And I knew she lived here. But not all who live here speak excellent French. NB: My first published memoir was about Callas.
@@linanicolia1363 Callas didn't live in France until she retired from the opera stage. She first learned French during the musical training. As she insisted during her master class at the Juilliard, one can properly sing the text only when one actually speak and understand the language.
@@gerardcohen7780 Pour une Américaine, c'est assez excellent. Je sais de quoi je parle, pas plus que vous, mais la plupart de mes compatriotes qui tentent de parler français le font "like two left feet". 😊
i absolutely adore Ms Callas! she is her own person in every right and does not back down. interesting she is constantly called "difficult" she stood up for herself!
La fameuse histoire de Rome... On est toujours obligé de parler de ça quand on parle de Maria Callas ??! Elle a refusé de chanter car elle ne voulait pas donner une mauvaise prestation.... C'est tout à fait compréhensible. Ce n'est pas un caprice. Les gens n'ont parfois aucune idée de la difficulté du chant lyrique...Maria ❤️
Si Callas n'avait pas ce caractère trempé, elle n'aurait sans doute jamais été l'Artiste distinguée qu'elle fut. Je l'aime comme elle était, comme elle est et comme elle sera toujours même au ciel !💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yes , she was fluent in more than languages to do that it is not easy, but many people think that is it not important, but is it very important and difficult to do.bravo Maria Callas.
She is a highly intelligent and very confident lady. She is right, maybe without her infamous “temperament” she would not shine as bright. The real geniuses are always never perfect and have many flaws but they stand out among the rest.
Elle etait vraiment très belle et avait un talent incroyable ça tout le monde le sait mais lol quel caractere ! "j'ai peur d'être une idole.Vous avez besoin d''idoles mais vous les détruisez"....Tout à fait vrai, et encore plus de nos jours sans doute...un artiste peut être adulé puis ignoré, quasi méprisé du jour au lendemain.
@@enriquesanchez2001 Chère Maria Callas... Ce n est pas de la dureté... C est du réalisme pure... Et une grande intelligence.... Cet interview est touchant de vérité... De sa vraie personnalité... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG I fell in love with sm who is dead. What an amazing personality!!! They way she communicates is a century ahead of her time and no wonder many people misunderstood her or not understood her at all. Even if she didn't have best voice of all time or knowing anything about her, I would fell in love with her after just one minute because of her stunning personality and style. Damn Onassis made her quit signing. I hate him (again a dead guy lol).
A 5'30, elle explique cet état de transe quand le spectacle est une communion avec le public. Et l inverse, la souffrance quand le courant ne passe pas. Un responsable de théâtre anglais disait ":she needed a rapport with the audience". Mais tout véritable artiste espère cette communication. Elle peut être magique ou pauvre ou catastrophique
J admire j adore. Maria. Callas.. La. Soprano exceptionnelle unique... La femme. avec une âme magnifique...Adorable .. Cet interview. Le prouve... Merci... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Une femme extraordinaire.... Très intelligente... Et tres belle femme... Une belle âme.... Tres réaliste,.... Belle personne.... Une Diva.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
oui et merci pour votre magnifique commentaire car quand je vois les commentaires plus haut c'est effrayant de lire autant de bêtises sur Maria Callas .
Quelle profondeur dans ce qu'elle dit sur sa vie d'artiste, la vie d'artiste ! Elle ne veut pas être une idole parce qu'elle sait ce que le public fait de l'idole quand elle elle vient à décliner. C'est certainement plus douloureux quand l'artiste lui-même se prend au jeu de se croire idole, sa fin est d'autant plus funeste 😢
Una mujer que hizo su lugar en el mundo porque tenía la determinación y la inteligencia para vencer a todos los tiranos y tontos que querían un pedazo de ella.
No, he wasn't rude at all. To a French audience, it is very clear that he *really* admires her... Maybe it's a French thing. The French don't fawn like American interviewers.
Sincere, frank, simple and humble like an American sophisticated and charming like an european Fluent like a linguist Honorable and dedicated like a nun or an ancient priestess Regal like an empress Beautiful like a stage actress Elegant in her dressing With a few gestures, a perfect timing for smiling and shooting her well prepared replies She never disappoints! Great, powerful woman despite her fragilities
If she only had a slightly better taste for the men that she chose as her partners she would have been happier as well. She had everything and she was messing up herself by meddling up with idiots. But to be fair that is always the case. The very talented and charismatic persons can't find easily the right match for them. Someone who can appreciate their talents and go with them instead of going for them or against them.
@ewa5803 I assume that you talk about Onassis. Because in the case of Menenghini it was the other way round. He was the one who put her on the pedestal and he gave her financial security when she began her career and the opportunity to advance this career in opera. But he was as well completely unsuitable for as her husband. He was 29 years older than her and in his case she was the one who eventually left him. But generally speaking she didn't choose the right partners. She went with two way too older than her men, who both were very rich instead of going for someone closer to her age and more artistic. She could choose whoever she liked but she stuck with Onassis who aside the fact that he was filth in his business he wasn't even a good looking man. I don't know how she fell that hard for him! It wasn't that she needed his money when she met him as she had already established her fame and she was the most well paid opera singer of her time.
@ewa5803I totally agree on that. She probably had some daddy issues as you said. And from what I've read on her biographies she was probably quite inexperienced in love matters because she never had the time as a young woman to associate and flirt with men of her age. I think something similar happened to Witney Houston who became also extremely famous from a very young age because they don't have the time to experience any kind of normal personal life. All the best to you too. Thank you for the nice discussion. :)
"The moment the idol happens to be a bit fragile, or is going through a difficult patch, and needs help, that's when she's ruined." This was very strong, but so true at the same time. It reminds me of Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.
What were all those stupid questions? Unbelievable! You get to speak to Maria Callas and that cheap stuff is all you ask. It is beautiful how she laughs and responds to him as he is a silly, unruly child that need everything explained to them, even the most obvious things.
So, she was fluent in English, Italian, French and Greek. And everything she says is full of meanings. Huge talent, beauty, intelligence, sensitivity. She had it all. ALL.
Alina Zamfir and look it up, it was a total nightmare working with her :D be realistic, she was a talented beautiful bitch :D

She was not beatiful, she was wonderful. The most charming woman I've ever seen. Who cares if she was temperamental.
And an artist without temperament is not really an artist at all.
