Maria Callas (Greek: Μαρία Κάλλας) (December 2, 1923 - September 16, 1977) was an American-born Greek soprano and one of the most renowned opera singers of the 20th century. She combined an impressive bel canto technique, a wide-ranging voice and great dramatic gifts. An extremely versatile singer, her repertoire ranged from classical opera seria to the bel canto operas of Donizetti, Bellini and Rossini; further, to the works of Verdi and Puccini; and, in her early career, to the music dramas of Wagner. Her remarkable musical and dramatic talents led to her being hailed as La Divina... en.wikipedia.org Lyrics & English Translation Suicide! In these awful moments you alone remain to me. You alone tempt me. Last voice of my destiny, Last trial of my journey... Once upon a time the hours gaily flew by... Lost now is my mother, Lost is my love. I overcame the consuming Fever of jealousy. Now I sink exhausted in the darkness! I am reaching the end... I only ask of death to sleep quietly within the grave.
