Incredibly natural and lovable - Victor Khomenko 12:15:17 12/16/18 (5)
It was very easy to fall in love with her voice right away. Not every operatic voice has that quality - some continue being if not irritating, then at least not too attractive after years. For instance, I continue being put off by Netrebko's one. I feel there is certain hardness in it. Callas's voice had rare deep fluidity to it.
Lot of people say it was not truly perfect, and it declined early... all that is perhaps true, but her magnetic power was undeniable.

  I love that not perfect voice and singing. The best.

  Well you'll see how natural and lovable when you watch the movie. A diva and lovable, little poodles and all. I don't know any lovable divas today. She taught me about opera. The movie was magnificent on the big screen.
  
  Looks like it was a one night show. I'll post a thread about Fathom Events. Don't want it buried in a thread. You should look them up.
  
  Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!

    ...I meant her voice, not her persona. It was indeed easy to get absorbed into, forget everything else. Her personal life, tumultuous and uneven, is a different story.

  her sense of the emotional drama in music -- in that way, she resembled Toscanini.

    ...started rotating my LP's through it. Opera records are going there first. :)
