COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Maria Callas Live: Bizet's Carmen Habanera, Hamburg 1962



 





 
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.
