Top 5 worst Callas roles. Go on do your worse
1. ROSINA (t's just horrible. horrible.)
2. Mimì (thank god she only recorded it and never performed)
3. Gilda (just as with Mimì, i just don't believe her in that role, she's not an innocent young girl, she's a bitch - also hate how she kinda. artificially thins out her voice for that one. talk about things that ultimately ruined it...)
4. Konstanze (yes, I know there is no recording of her in this role, only the one aria which is horrible and I hate it, she shouldn't have been allowed to even look at Mozart, next)
5. ANYTHING she sung in the 1960s (and, oh god, the 1970s...).
go on, boo me, you know I'm right.
#TO BE ENTIRELY FAIR. this is a thing ive always said and i was never ashamed of it. she was AMAZING in the early 1950s#and in the few recordings we have of her in the late 1940s#her Lady Macbeth and Abigaille and Violetta and all she sang back then. even the Sweet Innocent roles like Puritani or Lucia. great.#cant say a bad word about them.#y'all need to understand i dont hate her for her singing. i think i could even say i dont hate HER per se. i just hate the fandom lol#i genuinely do think she'd never be such an 'icon' if not for the scandals and the media exposure and if people didn't love a good ol'#'tragic backstory' (which. she aint special! many singers had horrible lives come on lol). and while i do think she was one of the best#in her early years i just hate hate hate the approach that she was objectively THE best and people treating it like a fact and not even#bothering to listen to other amazing sopranos who could easily be called her equal or even better.#so yeah. say what you want but Callas's fandom is worst than m*rvel or sherlock or even spn fans.#there. here you have my full confession. but for the sake of the old traditions.#lets still pretend that i hate her with a passion <333 it's much funnier that way#ALSO. having said what i said about her Mozart. i would have LOVED to hear her Fiordligi and Vitellia.#she would have rocked it with that fearless chest voice of hers. also Elettra - since she loved those insane bitches so much.#sadly she has not been Enlightened and found Mozart boring which shows. so much. in her recordings of him. well fuck you too Maria.#and yes this goes into her tag mwah#maria callas#opera tag#ask#there you have it miky. are you happy now?????
