"Suicidio" by Maria Callas
This clip - taken from her final performance, a November 1974 concert in Japan - does not show
Maria Callas
at her best vocally; dramatically, however, she's at the top of her game here.
The aria is one for which she is famous:
Suicidio
, from
La Gioconda
, by
Amilcare Ponchielli
(libretto by
Arrigo Boito
) and based on the novel
Angelo
by
Victor Hugo
.
