In this last time travel to Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, year 1952, we will witness a good variety of titles that show the wide range of roles and the versatility of her voice. Achievements that would add to would later be known as La Divina.
The result is a little uneven, with Rigoletto standing on the way and whose results are not that good, as she herself would admit years later.
Few times have the Orchestra and the Choir honored the singer and this farewell is wrapped up with one of the most touching moments in the history of this Opera house.
As a reference you can also check on Sophia Lambton's book, the author of The Callas Imprint - A centennial biography, which you can find in most of the world through Amazon.

In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias of all times. Who doesn't know this aria from Rigoletto by Maestro Verdi?

By far, one of the most well-known melodies ever written for the tenor voice. All tenors would like to have it in their repertoire. By far one of the melodies people have heard before even if they're not familiar with Opera.

In this season we talk about the author, and we analyze the aria from a technical vocal point of view as well as the interpretation based on the situation the character is going through.

In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias of all times. Who doesn't know this aria from L' Arlesiana from Maestro Cilea?

This incredible piece of music has been sung by tenors for decades already and for sure for many decades to come. This aria, as many in this season, is unfortunately very often overdone, with singers paying to little attention to the notes of the Maestro on how this is expected to be sung.

In this season we talk about the author, and we analyze the aria from a technical vocal point of view as well as the interpretation based on the situation the character is going through.

1951 in Mexico City was for Maria Meneghini Callas a little different from the previous year, with only two titles. The cast was different, and Sigora Meneghini Callas would continue to make her path in this country that would never forget her.

Some of the content here referred is based on The Callas Imprint book, for your reference:

Is information provided by ChatGPT 3.5 worth reading it if I wanted to learn more about a given opera composer?

In the quest of answering it, this series will ask ChatGPT to provide info that when scarce, vague, just a platitude or simply wrong, new questions will be asked to guide the IA to provide more relevant information. Hope this technology does not get old too soon!!!

This is the final episode of the season and we are celebrating with a bottle of champagne, enjoying life as the Maestro taught us.

In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias of all times. Who doesn't know this lovely piece from La Boheme by Maestro Puccini?

A short, still very effective song if done correctly both technically speaking and in the interpretation. Easy to sing? Not really, you will listen in this program why.
