Maria Callas
She was a brilliant actress.


Io sono docile, son rispettosa, sono obbediente, dolce, amorosa. Mi lascio reggere, mi fo guidar. Ma se mi toccano dov’è il mio debole, sarò una vipera, sarò, e cento trappole prima di cedere farò giocar.

Oh, I just thought of this - she played Rosina in the production (at La Scala I think) in around 1957, with Luigi Alva as Lindoro, that has gone down in history as having the worst costumes ever. *Googles to try to find pictures* Rosina's dress was a nightmare - bobble fringe, as I recall.

Hope there's not more than one - heh.

It sux how videos get taken off youtube - things like Mark Reizen are not exactly exploiting anything and serve more to spread knowledge and act as commercials than anything else.
