Is Callas a ham or what. Still. This isn’t the recording of her “Una voce poco fá” with which I grew up (which is here, and worth watching just to see Callas acting like a blushing schoolgirl as she answers the curtain call, all “Oh my goodness, what was them sounds coming out my mouth?!”)—it’s somewhat plus leggière, and she stays in character as Rosina. Still. And now everyone likes Cecilia Bartoli. Still. And she “ruined” her voice as she grew older and “all” she could sing were mezzo arias like “Casta diva” from Norma. Still.
