Live recording


Maria Callas (Norma), Franco Corelli (Pollione), Giulio Neri (Oroveso)

Orchestra e Coro della Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, Giuseppe Santini

In 1958, Callas was due to inaugurate the season in Rome with Bellini's ‘Norma’ but 46 hours before curtain-up, she had lost her voice. The management of the Opera House was immediately informed but as it was a Callas Gala in the presence of the President they had not thought about a replacement. Callas sang the first act and then walked out...This created a scandal of incredible proportions. Anita Cerquetti replaced Callas for the other performances.

“Akiko Nakajima has a light voice, capable of growth, with an able technique and imaginative expressiveness. Her 'Ah, non credea mirarti' (La sonnambula) is especially lovely. With Schmunk she gives a most winning performance of the L'amico Fritz duet, enchanting in its quiet passages. ...these are singers to be noted and the disc is a valuable record of their still youthful prime.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2006
