Maria Callas was passionately committed to the future of opera. She believed in the need to support young singers, and the foundation she set up has brought forward a new generation of singers to the international stage. The latest winners of the Maria
Callas Prize came together at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt last month to give this celebration of Callas.
The concert provides a fascinating glimpse of Callas in 1962 singing the 'Habanera' from Bizet's Carmen and '0 don fatale' from Verdi's Don Carlos.
Paata Burchuladze sings 'La calunnia' from Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia and Prince Gremin's aria from
Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. Anne Sofie von Otter sings
'D'amour l'ardente flamme' from Berlioz's Damnation of Faust and 'Nacqui all' affano' from Rossini's La Cenerentola. Thomas Hampson sings 'Largo al factotum' from Rossini's H barbiere di
Siviglia and Valentin's aria from Gounod's Faust. Aprile Millo sings 'Pace, pace mio dio' from Verdi's Laforza del destino and 'La mamma morta' from Giordano's Andrea Chenier.
Thomas Hampson and Anne Sofle von Otter sing the duet 'II core vi dono' from Mozart's Cosifan tutte. Finally all four soloists sing the quartet from Act IV of Verdi's Don Carlos. Introduced by Humphrey Burton Directed by HUGO KAECH for ZDF and Eurovision
