Tacea la notte placida
e bella in ciel sereno
la luna il viso argenteo
mostrava lieto e pieno...
Quando suonar per l' aere,
infino allor sì muto,
dolci s' udiro e flebili
gli accordi di un liuto,
e versi melanconici
un Trovator cantò.
Versi di prece ed umile
qual d' uom che prega Iddio
in quella ripeteasi
un nome...il nome mio!
Corsi al veron sollecita...
Egli era! egli era desso!...
Gioia provai che agli angeli
solo è provar concesso!...
Al core, al guardo estatico
la terra un ciel sembrò.
Maria Callas (1923-1977), born Maria Anna Cecilia Sofia Kalogeropoulou, was one of the most celebrated sopranos of the 20th century. Born in New York to Greek parents, she moved to Greece and then Italy, where she began her operatic career. Known for her extraordinary vocal talent, expressive power, and dramatic interpretation, Callas dominated the world of opera in the 1950s and 1960s. Her lyrical voice, capable of an exceptional range and impeccable technique, allowed her to masterfully tackle Verdi roles such as Violetta in "La traviata" and Desdemona in "Otello". Among her most celebrated successes are also the role of Norma in Bellini's opera of the same name. Callas was an iconic figure, not only for her voice but also for her charisma and her often tumultuous personal life. She collaborated with some of the greatest conductors of the time, including Tullio Serafin and Herbert von Karajan. Her recordings are still considered milestones in classical music.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
