Callas’s only operatic appearances in Germany were Lucia di Lammermoor, with Karajan conducting, in Berlin in 1955, and La sonnambula in Cologne in 1957, b
ut in both 1959 and 1962 she made concert tours of the country, visiting Hamburg twice.
The video recordings of her concerts in the city showcase her in a dazzling variety of Italian and French repertoire for both soprano and mezzo-soprano:
three contrasting Verdi roles
(Lady Macbeth, Elvira from Ernani and Elisabetta from Don Carlo);
Imogene from Bellini’s Il pirata;
Giulia from La vestale;
Chimène from Massenet’s Le Cid;
Verdi’s most explosively dramatic aria for mezzo-soprano
– Eboli’s ‘On don fatale’ from Don Carlo;
Carmen’s seductive Habanera and Seguédille and,
from Rossini’s La Cenerentola,
Angelina’s final rondo, which magically combines modest charm and sparkling virtuosity.
