Opera d’Oro
#1285. Maria Callas and Giulietta
Simionato give moving, dramatic performances as Anne Boleyn and Jane
Seymour in a “live” performance from La Scala, Milan, of April 14, 1957. With Gianni Raimondi and Nicola
Rossi-Lemeni. The conductor Gianandrea
Gavazzeni made some cuts in the score. John Ardoin wrote that the final section
of the opera “caps one of [Callas’s] most inspired achievements in wedding the
needs of drama to the resources of her voice.”
