Video: Callas as Medea

I’ve posted video of Callas in Cherubini’s Medea before, but this particular clip possibly includes a few additional snippets—or at least is a lengthier compilation of existing clips. I believe that the footage is from both La Scala and Epidaurus in 1961.

If anyone has information to the contrary, please let me know.

See earlier posts about Callas as Cherubini’s and Pasolini’s Medea.

    Wonderful. It’s probably as you say, though I believe the first curtain call shot at the end is from Dallas as the Neris is the young Teresa Berganza.

      Excellent catch. Funny thing is, I noticed it was Berganza but didn’t make the Dallas connection. Thanks for noticing this!
