Maria Callas - La Divina O Mio Babbino Caro
Maria Ana Cecilia Sophia Kalogeropoulos (New York, 2 of December of 1923 - Paris, 16 of September of 1977), more well-known by the stage name of Maria You are silent was a soprano of Greek origin, considered like the most famous singer of opera of the period of postwar period. You are silent combined an impeccable technique of the bel song with a great dramatic talent, qualities that did the most famous actress-singer to him of that one time. He was extraordinarily versatile, since its repertoire went from the classic serious opera, like the Vestale de Gaspare Spontini, until the operas of Giuseppe Verdi, or Giacomo Puccini. Their studies of the coloratura allowed him to sing so different papers, but this effort accelerated the deterioration of its voice and it carried manifolds to him critics.
Maria Callas (High Quality sound)sings O MIO BABBINO CARO
O mio babbino caro,
mi piace è bello, bello;
vo'andare in Porta Rossa
a comperar l'anello!
Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!
e se l'amassi indarno,
andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
ma per buttarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, pietà , pietà !
Babbo, pietà , pietà !
Oh my dear papa,
I love him, he is handsome, handsome.
I want to go to Porta Rossa
To buy the ring!
Yes, yes, I want to go there!
And if I loved him in vain,
I would go to the Ponte Vecchio,
but to throw myself in the Arno!
I am anguished and tormented!
Oh God, I'd want to die!
Papa, have pity, have pity!
Papa, have pity, have pity!
