Welcome to the Sunday edition of Opera Daily, the best opera community on the internet. This week, we’re incredibly grateful that you joined us and continue to engage with us here. If you missed the first post in this series where we covered Maria Callas singing Ernani, it's
Perfect beginning for my Sunday morning, with Callas singing Ernani. The follow up interview where she describes some of her style and portrayals of the characters in opera performance was very informative. Looking forward to more Maria.
Today may be the first Sunday of Advent on the liturgical calendar, but for me it's Maria Callas Day. To hear her spoken voice, even in French, has been so special. I especially liked this revealing interview with Barbara Walters, in which Callas dispelled myths I had long believed were true (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjBAqTAYSdk). I also found two new sources with which to feed my addiction -The Maria Callas Museum (http://www.mariacallasmuseum.org/) and Divina Records (https://www.divinarecords.com/). I wonder what opera singer(s) was lucky enough to have a master class with La Divina? Anybody we might know?🤩
Delightful

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you loved this. Some day I’ll share what I like, being a beginner it will be mostly movie music. 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent work. BTW, I love the overture to this opera.
