When my enemies stop hissing, I shall know I'm slipping.

- Maria Callas

Maria Callas at La Scala takes a well deserved curtain call for La Somnambular, a revival of the Luchino Visconti production in March 1957.

The magnificent Italian dramatic soprano Giuseppina Cobelli as Isolde.

She was legendary Sieglinde, Isotta, Eboli, and more.

Cobelli (1 August 1898 - 10 August 1948) was described as a beautiful woman with a highly individual voice and dramatic temperament. Her soprano career abruptly finished when she was conditioned by deafness in 1932, she is remembered for being the only artist to perform on stage equipped with a hearing aid. Although she has become a forgotten opera star who passed away at the age of 50, Cobelli sang with the greatest tenors of her time, Fleta, Thill, Pertile, Gigli, Ruffo and under Toscanini, de Sabata, Serafin or Klemperer at the top Opera theatres all over the world.

Coppelia at the Mariinsky

I'm hearing rumors that the Mariinsky will debut a new production of Coppelia staged by Alexander Sergeev…and it made me wonder when was the last time they performed Coppelia? It seems to have been a very long time ago. There are hundreds of clips of the Vikharev production at the Bolshoi. How/why did the Mariinsky let this ballet end up in a dust heap? So odd… Anyway, I'm glad it's coming back. (If rumors are true!) And I'm so curious about casting. The most recent clip that I could quickly find was from the Kirov in 1993, fearing Irina Shapchit dancing the Swanilda variation from Act 3.

I know nothing about Ms. Shapchit and discovered that she now goes by her married name, Irina Zavialova. She and her husband left Russia in 1995 for the West where they worked at several smaller ballet companies. It seems like she was one of the talents that "got away" in the turmoil of the 90s. She's now teaching in Norway from what I gather. Here's an interview with her from the 90s

It's almost a foregone conclusion that Shakirova will be first cast in this. BTW, I still haven't seen Ratmansky's production at La Scala, but I've heard that it's really good. It's on the list. The full production can be streamed on Medici TV:

Comment which dancers should be on my watchlist too. Would love to do more analysis work on dancers outside of Russian ballet ❤️

Maria Callas and Franco Corelli

in Umberto Giordano's Fedora at La Scala | 1956

"Act three is set in Switzerland, and begins as a romantic idyll, with Fedora and Loris strolling into the garden of their chalet. We had a charming little pantomime in which Maria sat in a swing and I pushed her. Very lovely."

Hubby and I have been discussing taking a big trip in 2025. Might have to move it to the end of 2024, but I think we found it.
