Vissi d'arte
Vissi d’arte, vissi d’amore,
non feci mai male ad anima viva!
Con man furtiva
quante miserie conobbi aiutai.
Sempre con fè sincera
la mia preghiera
ai santi tabernacoli salì.
Sempre con fè sincera
diedi fiori agl’altar.
Nell’ora del dolore
perché, perché, Signore,
perché me ne rimuneri così?
Diedi gioielli della Madonna al manto,
e diedi il canto agli astri, al ciel,
che ne ridean più belli.
Nell’ora del dolor
perché, perché, Signor,
ah, perché me ne rimuneri così?

Vissi d'Arte, Lyrics English translation
I lived for my art, I lived for love,
I never did harm to a living soul!
With a secret hand
I relieved as many misfortunes as I knew of.
Always with true faith
my prayer
rose to the holy shrines.
Always with true faith
I gave flowers to the altar.
In the hour of grief
why, why, o Lord,
why do you reward me thus?
I gave jewels for the Madonna’s mantle,
and I gave my song to the stars,
to heaven,
which smiled with more beauty.
In the hour of grief
why, why, o Lord,
ah, why do you reward me thus?

All the countless times I have been listening to la Divina Maria Callas I can only cry. No words, just gratitude..rest in peace most immortal of all..

[@johnhagan-zr4pm]

She is so far ahead of many female singers
It's like listening to "art", "beauty" and "timelessness"
She is the paragon

[@bingo1232]

Truth is… I was born at this time so I could hear Madame Callas sing. This is not a cult of personality. Instead, it is a celebration of her captivating artistry. She bears her light (for herself, for us) with an ineffable grace. (And the audience seems to agree.)

[@trudydavis6168]

Maria forever! She is brilliant in Vissi D"Arte

[@arielbordon2334]

Personally, I used to dislike Maria Callas before. But when I opened my ears to her voice and listened to her studio recordings over & over again... I learned to EMBRACE her. By just listening to those audio recordings, Callas is a totally different artist. She acts out what she is singing, even I cannot see her act. I am a Renata Tebaldi fan but after such education about Maria Callas, I am a fan of both , Callas & Tebaldi. They are 2 different women...2 different voices....2 different cultures....2 different artists....2 GREAT SOPRANOS....

I think that Maria Callas is the most ideal Tosca in opera history.
She possessed an exquisite voice with superb intelligence and artistry.
She was a passionate, intense actress with a strong, dramatic voice that always remained as womanly embodiment of sentiments.
Thank you for sharing your rare and invaluable video.

[@billyves1]

Apart from her voice, she was and stil absolutely unique as a" tragédienne" : one can see here that she is living what she sings.

[@evangeliadimitriadis5706]

The voice was not very strong and the timbre was not beautiful , but strident and ugly. She is pretentious and she sings everything like weeping. In the theater she was not Tosca, she sang it not often

Y esta área, por que no, representa su vida real.
Un canto magnífico de su vida, que sin querer está en Tosca.
María Callas: en donde estés. Eres magnífica. No hay nadie como tu. Era muy niño cuando te fuiste.
Ahora he conocido harto de tu obra. Simplemente me dejas sin palabras.
Mi admiración por siempre, María Callas.
