Has there ever been a more perfect Norma? ✨ This role was emblematic for Maria Callas, who performed it nearly 100 times over the course of her career. She made her first studio recording as this tragic legendary character in 1954, under the baton of Tullio Serafin. 🎧 Listen to the remastered version now on digital platforms: https://w.lnk.to/bnc #voice #ladivina #legend #singer #mariacallasfoundation #mariacallasforever #opéra #classicalvoice #operasinger #sopranos #soprano #classicalmusicdail
