when the Fall of Rome comes into focus for forty six seconds...
This was in 1964 at the Paris opera house, and it was actually the last full dressed rehearsal before the “première“. It’s certainly not the Callas of 1952 ( or even 1955 ( but it’s still Norma all the way to the fingertips... l’arte del movimento della mano... mano, sguardo e voce abbassandosi insieme...
Atto I, Scena IV
(Entra Norma in mezzo alle sue ministre. Ha sciolto i capegli, la fronte circondata di una corona di verbena, ed armata la mano d’una falce d’oro. Si colloca sulla pietra druidica, e volge gli occhi d’intorno come ispirata. Tutti fanno silenzio.)
NORMA
Io ne’ volumi arcani leggo del cielo,
In pagine di morte
Della superba Roma è scritto il nome.
Ella un giorno morrà,
Ma non per voi.
Morrà pei vizi suoi,
Qual consunta morrà.
