“MARIA CALLAS WENT TO HAMBURG” from Little-Known Operas<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1959 when Maria Callas went to Hamburg her hair
\nwas still neoclassical. In the film she emerges at 0 minutes:
\n7 seconds, silk legs the clapper of an underwater bell.<\/p>\n

But the moment I need to tell about is at 42:30, prelude
\nof the Pirata<\/em> aria, when resting her left hand
\non the conductor\u2019s cage, head down eyes closed, cloistered,
\nthirty seconds forty fifty, she doesn\u2019t know us, we are nowhere and no one,
\ndescending figure, strings distressed, dissonant, trembling, swelling,<\/p>\n

(remember Mom in the \u201860s? her door closed sometimes till noon\u2014)<\/p>\n
