Sorry to hear you think Gobbi was "voice stupid." Never heard it expressed so illiterately.

The Callas was not flawed and even his voice stupid not afford more, I could reported

Well, I guess her voice was flawed... however, she was an incredibly powerful artist and all that criticism about her being too melodramatic does not mean anything. Opera is melodramma, have you forgotten that? and BTW, flaws are what make a person human and sometimes great!!

True enough re: the camera, but you seem to confuse projection with melodrama. Your summary judgment about stage technique wouldn't sit well with Laurette Taylor, Peggy Ashcroft, Maureen Stapleton, Colleen Dewhurst, Zoe Caldwell, Ethel Merman, Angela Lansbury, Mary Martin and others who all had long, distinguished careers making it real for the front row and the last.

I said her voice and technique were flawed. According to her biographers, she was a selfish, self-centered, greedy, infantile and neurotic creature, which some might construe to mean that "she" was flawed, as you state. I merely commented on her vocal shortcomings, which are significant.

Sutherland never said anything of the kind re: Callas, who wisely abandoned Lucia once she heard the Australian sing it. Sutherland's highest admiration was expressed toward Flagstad and Tebaldi. |
