Rossini il Barbiere di Siviglia Callas

This CD has two of the best arias every Callas fan should have….the bell song and la mamma morta these arias alone make this cd worth it….she shows her true power and agility in both of these arias that display what is called perfect technique….making her a true Dramatic Colortura singer…and maybe the only real one…but this cd has more it contains an aria from her famous role of Nedda from Pagliacci which she never did on stage so this is a real treat… and her Carmen is always perfectly done…this cd runs through so many beautiful arias and Callas did great in all of them…this is why we call her La Divina

Callas made her belated Paris debut with this concert at the sumptuous Paris Opéra—now known as the Palais Garnier—in 1958. It was a major social event, attended by le tout Paris, and Callas appeared on the famous stage wearing her most elegant couture and a million dollars’ worth of jewellery. She opened with Norma’s “Casta diva”, which was followed by Leonora’s plaintive aria and the gripping “Miserere” from Act 4 of Il trovatore, before she lightened the mood with “Una voce poco fa” from Il barbiere di Siviglia.
