Magda Olivero
Magda Olivero (25 March 1910 – 8 September 2014) was an Italian operatic soprano. Her career started in 1932 when she was 22, and later took her to opera houses around the world.
Life and career
Born as Maria Maddalena Olivero in Saluzzo, Italy, she made her operatic debut in 1932 on radio in Turin radio singing Nino Cattozzo's (1886–1961) oratorio, I misteri dolorosi.
She performed widely and increasingly successfully until 1941, when she married and retired from performing. She returned to the stage ten years later, at the request of Francesco Cilea, who asked her to sing again the title role in his opera Adriana Lecouvreur.
From 1951 until her final retirement, Olivero sang in opera houses around the world. Among her most renowned interpretations were the leading parts in Adriana Lecouvreur, Iris, Fedora, La bohème, La fanciulla del West, La traviata, La Wally, Madama Butterfly, Manon Lescaut, Mefistofele, and Turandot (as Liù).
She sang in Cherubini's Médée (in the Italian version)at the Dallas Opera in 1967 and in Kansas City in 1968. In 1975, Olivero made her début at the Metropolitan Opera in Tosca. Her last performances on stage were in March 1981 in the one-woman opera, La voix humaine by Poulenc, in Verona; her stage career ending at age 71, after spanning nearly 50 years. She continued to sing sacred music locally and, well into her eighties, made a recording of several arias. Recordings exist of many of her performances of both full operas, arias and scenes.

Octopussy
Octopussy (1983) is the thirteenth entry in the Eon Productions James Bond film series, and the sixth to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond.
The film's title is taken from a short story in Ian Fleming's 1966 short story collection Octopussy and The Living Daylights, although the film's plot is original. It does, however, include a portion inspired by the Fleming short story "The Property of a Lady" (included in 1967 and later editions of Octopussy and The Living Daylights), while the events of the short story "Octopussy" form a part of the title character's background and are recounted by her.
Bond is assigned the task of following a general who is stealing jewels and relics from the Soviet government. This leads him to a wealthy Afghan prince, Kamal Khan, and his associate, Octopussy. Bond uncovers a plot to force disarmament in Europe with the use of a nuclear weapon.
Produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, Octopussy was released in the same year as the non-Eon Bond film Never Say Never Again. Written by George MacDonald Fraser, Richard Maibaum, and Michael G. Wilson, the film was directed by John Glen.

MAGDA OLIVERO - È strano!...Ah, fors'è lui...Sempre libera
In honour of the first performance of La Traviata on march 6, 1853, here is an exceptional rendering of Violetta's first act aria performed by Magda Olivero. The film was recorded in 1964 in Naples in the usual manner of the time: it was synchronized with an already existing audio recording. In this case, a studio recording of Violetta's aria was used, it was recorded on August 7, 1940 in Torino with the Orchestra Sinfonica dell' EIAR, the tenor was Muzio Giovagnoli and the conductor Ugo Tansini. In the sixties The Italian music magazine Discoteca made a contest for all the existing recordings of È strano!...Ah, fors'è lui...Sempre libera" from Tetrazzini, Zeani, Callas, Tebaldi, Scotto, Sutherland, Caballe…to all other sopranos who's names would be too long to enumerate, to summarize: e...

MAGDA OLIVERO - Canta a 99 anni
This is a very special and singular experience for opera lovers. The legendary Magda Olivero in the last years of her long life decided to follow a strange recurring dream she had during three subsequent nights and that urged her to sing one phrase from Zandonai's Francesca da Rimini "Paolo datemi pace". She was then 99 years old; that is a rare, true, sensitive and very dedicated artist. However, this is not what made Magda Olivero a legend. It is presented here as a memento of her dedication and desire to sing. Si tratta di un'esperienza molto particolare e singolare per gli amanti dell'opera.

MAGDA OLIVERO at 81 - Ave Maria, Gounod
This is a very rare and intimate moment; Magda Olivero is singing alone with no public during a rehearsal for a concert of religious arias to be given at the “Chiesa dei Cappuccini” in Milan in 1991. What we are witnessing is a genuine prayer address to the Holy Virgin and sung by a profound believer. To my knowledge, Gounod’s Ave Maria ever been sung with such interiority and fervour. Note: The Ave Maria in sung in the original key of G major and the high B5 on “hora” at the end is mesmerizing in power and beauty, Magda Olivero was then 81 years old.

MAGDA OLIVERO - O mio babbino caro
This aria, from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, besides being a very popular encore in concerts, is often a show piece for sopranos to express their feelings. Most of the time they "milk" the aria by deliberately stretching the tempi totally out of context. Puccini specified andantino ingenuo, not largo, not adagio, not even andante. The aria ask for a gentle but moving tempo expressing Lauretta's eagerness to go to Porta Rossa to buy a wedding ring. Magda Olivero first sang the role in 1933 at the age of 23. This rendering of the aria is part of a concert she gave at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in 1968. She sings it like a young girl in love, begging her father to let her go and buy the "anello". Quest'aria, tratta da Gianni Schicchi di Puccini, oltre ad essere un bis molto popolare nei con...

MAGDA OLIVERO - "Vissi d'arte" - MET. 1975 HD
The famous and now memorable "Vissi d'arte" from Magda Olivero's debut in Tosca at the MET in 1975 at the age of 65. That legendary Tosca took place on April 3, 1975. Schuyler Chapin, then director general of the Met, was later to write: “Having had the honour of presenting this great lady was one of the memorable pleasures of my years spent at the Metropolitan.” The Met was packed to the rafters and all of New York seemed to be there: fans, critics, and stars like Zinka Milanov, Regina Resnik, Evelyn Lear, other celebrities that came incognito out of sheer curiosity. In the Second Act, having been thrown on the couch by Scarpia, Tosca, reclining, begins the “Vissi d’arte.” Magda concluded the aria with a final crecendo on “così” that enflamed the house. The crowd stood up, delirious. In...

Magda Olivero singing from Traviata and Adriana - LIVE VIDEO (MEGA RARE)
In this master class, Magda Olivero teaches "Addio del passato" from La Traviata, and cannot help but sing quite a bit of it. Note that it had probably been 20-30 years since she had sung this music, and yet it comes out effortlessly with an expansive fil de voce on a single breath which is....well, breathtaking. Not bad for someone in their 80s!!! Of course, Magda can't appear without demonstrating her patented ending for "Io son l'umille ancella" from Adriana Lecouvreur. As she told me, starting the penultimate note piano and drawing it out for an elongated crescendo was something she came up with when first preparing the role. Cilea exclaimed, "You have finally given my aria an ending!" After demonstrating, she very humbly says that she's sure the student's version will be more ...

To the surprise of many, Magda Olivero won the coveted prize of the best interpretation of the aria before all her soprano colleagues. And I’m sure this is still very valid today.

Magda Olivero (née Maria Maddalena Olivero, 25 March 1910) is a soprano of the verismo-school of singing. She was born in Saluzzo, Italy. Olivero made her operatic debut in 1932 on Turin radio in Nino Cattozzo's (1886--1961) oratorio I misteri dolorosi. She performed widely and increasingly successfully until 1941, when she married and retired from performing. She returned to the stage ten years later, at the request of Francesco Cilea, who asked her to sing the title role in his opera Adriana Lecouvreur. From 1951 until her final retirement, Olivero sang in opera houses around the world. Among her most renowned interpretations were the leading parts in Adriana Lecouvreur, Iris, Fedora, La bohème, La fanciulla del West, La traviata, La Wally, Madama Butterfly, Manon Lescaut, Mefistofele, and Turandot (as Liù.) Among her studio recordings are Turandot (as Liù, with Gina Cigna, for Cetra, 1938), Fedora (with Mario Del Monaco and Tito Gobbi, conducted by Lamberto Gardelli, for Decca, 1969) and highlights from Francesca da Rimini (with Del Monaco, conducted by Nicola Rescigno, for Decca, 1969). In 1993, she recorded, with piano accompaniment, Adriana Lecouvreur (with Marta Moretto as the Princesse de Bouillon); excerpts from this recording were published on the Bongiovanni label. At age 86, she performed Adriana's monologue in Jan Schmidt-Garre's film Opera Fanatic. She made occasional singing appearances into her nineties... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magda_Olivero
Lyrics & English Translation
Lonely forsaken and abandoned
All my hope then is over.
And in the heart of this desert
I'm dying. O wretched hapless woman!
I sought this region as a peaceful haven.
Ah! Through my fatal beauty
Torments afresh surround me
They would have severed me from him;
Mow all my past does haunt me
With fearful pangs of anguish,
And rises straight before
My eyes to rend me.
New dangers come to threaten
Only the tomb can release me from my burden.
No! Let me not die dearest help me!
Please Enjoy!
I send my kind and warm regards,

Magda Olivero (née Maria Maddalena Olivero, 25 March 1910) is a soprano of the verismo-school of singing. She was born in Saluzzo, Italy. Olivero made her operatic debut in 1932 on Turin radio in Nino Cattozzo's (1886--1961) oratorio I misteri dolorosi. She performed widely and increasingly successfully until 1941, when she married and retired from performing. She returned to the stage ten years later, at the request of Francesco Cilea, who asked her to sing the title role in his opera Adriana Lecouvreur. From 1951 until her final retirement, Olivero sang in opera houses around the world.

The famous and now memorable "Vissi d'arte" from Magda Olivero's debut in Tosca at the MET in 1975 at the age of 65.
That legendary Tosca took place on April 3, 1975. Schuyler Chapin, then director general of the Met, was later to write: “Having had the honour of presenting this great lady was one of the memorable pleasures of my years spent at the Metropolitan.”
The Met was packed to the rafters and all of New York seemed to be there: fans, critics, and stars like Zinka Milanov, Regina Resnik, Evelyn Lear, other celebrities that came incognito out of sheer curiosity.
In the Second Act, having been thrown on the couch by Scarpia, Tosca, reclining, begins the “Vissi d’arte.” Magda concluded the aria with a final crecendo on “così” that enflamed the house. The crowd stood up, delirious. In the face of this outburst, which seems unwilling to end, Magda, not expecting such a frenzy, remains motionless, surprised and obviously moved. This moment became a record ovation in the history of the Met for an aria, a full 22 minutes, almost as long as the 30-minute ovation at the end of the Act III.
She later told me about the unreal situation in which she had found herself. After the “Vissi d’arte,” not knowing when the applause would stop, she had to remain in the same position until the orchestra resumed. At intermission, the audience wondered whether they had really lived these intense moments, a unique evening at the opera. Walter Legge, producer of almost all of Maria Callas’s recordings and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf’s husband, said, “I have no doubt, she is the Duse 1 of the opera.”
Il famoso e ormai memorabile "Vissi d'arte" del debutto di Magda Olivero in Tosca al MET nel 1975 all'età di 65 anni.
Quella leggendaria Tosca ebbe luogo il 3 aprile 1975. Schuyler Chapin, allora direttore generale del Met, avrebbe poi scritto: "Aver avuto l'onore di presentare questa grande signora è stato uno dei piaceri memorabili dei miei anni trascorsi al Metropolitan".
Il Met era gremito all'inverosimile e tutta New York sembrava essere presente: fan, critici e star come Zinka Milanov, Regina Resnik, Evelyn Lear, altre celebrità venute in incognito per pura curiosità.
Nel secondo atto, dopo essere stata gettata sul divano da Scarpia, Tosca, reclinata, inizia il "Vissi d'arte". Magda conclude l'aria con un crecendo finale su "così" che infiamma la casa. La folla si è alzata in piedi, in delirio. Di fronte a questo sfogo, che sembra non voler finire, Magda, che non si aspettava una tale frenesia, rimane immobile, sorpresa e ovviamente commossa. Questo momento è diventato un'ovazione record nella storia del Met per un'aria, ben 22 minuti, quasi quanto i 30 minuti di ovazione alla fine del III atto.
In seguito mi raccontò della situazione irreale in cui si era trovata. Dopo il "Vissi d'arte", non sapendo quando gli applausi sarebbero cessati, dovette rimanere nella stessa posizione fino alla ripresa dell'orchestra. All'intervallo, il pubblico si è chiesto se avesse davvero vissuto questi momenti intensi, una serata unica all'opera. Walter Legge, produttore di quasi tutte le registrazioni di Maria Callas e marito di Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, ha detto: "Non ho dubbi, lei è la Duse 1 dell'opera".

In this master class, Magda Olivero teaches "Addio del passato" from La Traviata, and cannot help but sing quite a bit of it. Note that it had probably been 20-30 years since she had sung this music, and yet it comes out effortlessly with an expansive fil de voce on a single breath which is....well, breathtaking. Not bad for someone in their 80s!!!
Of course, Magda can't appear without demonstrating her patented ending for "Io son l'umille ancella" from Adriana Lecouvreur. As she told me, starting the penultimate note piano and drawing it out for an elongated crescendo was something she came up with when first preparing the role. Cilea exclaimed, "You have finally given my aria an ending!"
After demonstrating, she very humbly says that she's sure the student's version will be more beautiful. While the younger singer is clearly inspired by La Magda, I don't think she's in the same category.

In honour of the first performance of La Traviata on march 6, 1853, here is an exceptional rendering of Violetta's first act aria performed by Magda Olivero. The film was recorded in 1964 in Naples in the usual manner of the time: it was synchronized with an already existing audio recording. In this case, a studio recording of Violetta's aria was used, it was recorded on August 7, 1940 in Torino with the Orchestra Sinfonica dell' EIAR, the tenor was Muzio Giovagnoli and the conductor Ugo Tansini.
In the sixties The Italian music magazine Discoteca made a contest for all the existing recordings of È strano!...Ah, fors'è lui...Sempre libera" from Tetrazzini, Zeani, Callas, Tebaldi, Scotto, Sutherland, Caballe…to all other sopranos who's names would be too long to enumerate, to summarize: everyone who ever sang and recorded the aria had a chance. To the surprise of many, Magda Olivero won the coveted prize of the best interpretation of the aria before all her soprano colleagues. And I’m sure this is still very valid today.
In onore della prima rappresentazione della Traviata il 6 marzo 1853, ecco un'eccezionale resa della scena e dell'aria del primo atto di Violetta eseguita da Magda Olivero. Il film è stato registrato nel 1964 a Napoli nel solito modo dell'epoca: è stato sincronizzato con una registrazione audio già esistente. In questo caso è stata utilizzata una registrazione in studio dell'aria di Violetta, registrata il 7 agosto 1940 a Torino con l'Orchestra Sinfonica dell'EIAR, il tenore era Muzio Giovagnoli e il direttore Ugo Tansini.
Negli anni Sessanta la rivista Discoteca fece un concorso per tutte le registrazioni esistenti di È strano!...Ah, fors'è lui...Sempre libera" da Tetrazzini, Zeani, Callas, Tebaldi, Scotto, Sutherland, Caballe...a tutti gli altri soprani che sarebbe troppo lungo enumerare, per riassumere: tutti quelli che hanno cantato e registrato l'aria avevano una possibilità. Con sorpresa di molti, Magda Olivero vinse l'ambito premio della migliore interpretazione dell'aria davanti a tutti i suoi colleghi soprani. E sono sicuro che questo vale ancora oggi.

This is a very special and singular experience for opera lovers. The legendary Magda Olivero in the last years of her long life decided to follow a strange recurring dream she had during three subsequent nights and that urged her to sing one phrase from Zandonai's Francesca da Rimini "Paolo datemi pace". She was then 99 years old; that is a rare, true, sensitive and very dedicated artist. However, this is not what made Magda Olivero a legend. It is presented here as a memento of her dedication and desire to sing.
Si tratta di un'esperienza molto particolare e singolare per gli amanti dell'opera. La leggendaria Magda Olivero negli ultimi anni della sua lunga vita decise di seguire uno strano sogno ricorrente che fece in tre notti successive e che la spinse a cantare una frase della Francesca da Rimini di Zandonai "Paolo datemi pace". Aveva allora 99 anni; si tratta di un'artista rara, vera, sensibile e molto impegnata. Tuttavia, non è questo che ha reso Magda Olivero una leggenda. Viene qui presentato come un ricordo della sua dedizione e del suo desiderio di cantare.

This is a very rare and intimate moment; Magda Olivero is singing alone with no public during a rehearsal for a concert of religious arias to be given at the “Chiesa dei Cappuccini” in Milan in 1991. What we are witnessing is a genuine prayer address to the Holy Virgin and sung by a profound believer. To my knowledge, Gounod’s Ave Maria ever been sung with such interiority and fervour.
Note: The Ave Maria in sung in the original key of G major and the high B5 on “hora” at the end is mesmerizing in power and beauty, Magda Olivero was then 81 years old.
È un momento molto raro e intimo: Magda Olivero canta da sola, senza pubblico, durante le prove di un concerto di arie religiose da tenersi alla Chiesa dei Cappuccini di Milano nel 1991. Ciò a cui assistiamo è una vera e propria preghiera rivolta alla Vergine Santa e cantata da una profonda credente. Che io sappia, l'Ave Maria di Gounod non è mai stata cantata con tale interiorità e fervore.
Nota: L'Ave Maria è cantata nella chiave originale di Sol maggiore e l'acuto Si5 su "hora" alla fine dell'aria è mesmerizzante in potenza e bellezza, Magda Olivero aveva allora 81 anni.

This aria, from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, besides being a very popular encore in concerts, is often a show piece for sopranos to express their feelings. Most of the time they "milk" the aria by deliberately stretching the tempi totally out of context. Puccini specified andantino ingenuo, not largo, not adagio, not even andante. The aria ask for a gentle but moving tempo expressing Lauretta's eagerness to go to Porta Rossa to buy a wedding ring. Magda Olivero first sang the role in 1933 at the age of 23. This rendering of the aria is part of a concert she gave at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in 1968. She sings it like a young girl in love, begging her father to let her go and buy the "anello".
Quest'aria, tratta da Gianni Schicchi di Puccini, oltre ad essere un bis molto popolare nei concerti, è spesso un pezzo di spettacolo per i soprani per esprimere i loro sentimenti. Il più delle volte "mungono" l'aria allungando deliberatamente i tempi in modo totalmente fuori contesto. Puccini ha specificato andantino ingenuo, non largo, non adagio, non andante. L'aria chiede un tempo dolce ma commovente che esprima il desiderio di Lauretta di andare a Porta Rossa per l'acquisto di una fede nuziale. Magda Olivero ha cantato per la prima volta il ruolo nel 1933 all'età di 23 anni. Questa interpretazione dell'aria fa parte di un concerto da lei tenuto al Concertgebouw di Amsterdam nel 1968. La canta come una ragazzina innamorata, pregando il padre di lasciarla andare a comprare l'anello.

Lonely forsaken and abandoned
All my hope then is over.
And in the heart of this desert
I'm dying. O wretched hapless woman!
I sought this region as a peaceful haven.
Ah! Through my fatal beauty
Torments afresh surround me
They would have severed me from him;
Mow all my past does haunt me
With fearful pangs of anguish,
And rises straight before
My eyes to rend me.
New dangers come to threaten
Only the tomb can release me from my burden.
No! Let me not die dearest help me!
Please Enjoy!
I send my kind and warm regards,

In this master class, Magda Olivero teaches "Addio del passato" from La Traviata, and cannot help but sing quite a bit of it. Note that it had probably been 20-30 years since she had sung this music, and yet it comes out effortlessly with an expansive fil de voce on a single breath which is....well, breathtaking. Not bad for someone in their 80s!!!
Of course, Magda can't appear without demonstrating her patented ending for "Io son l'umille ancella" from Adriana Lecouvreur. As she told me, starting the penultimate note piano and drawing it out for an elongated crescendo was something she came up with when first preparing the role. Cilea exclaimed, "You have finally given my aria an ending!"
After demonstrating, she very humbly says that she's sure the student's version will be more beautiful. While the younger singer is clearly inspired by La Magda, I don't think she's in the same category.
Magda Olivero
Magda Olivero (25 March 1910 – 8 September 2014) was an Italian operatic soprano. Her career started in 1932 when she was 22, and later took her to opera houses around the world.
Life and career
Born as Maria Maddalena Olivero in Saluzzo, Italy, she made her operatic debut in 1932 on radio in Turin radio singing Nino Cattozzo's (1886–1961) oratorio, I misteri dolorosi.
She performed widely and increasingly successfully until 1941, when she married and retired from performing. She returned to the stage ten years later, at the request of Francesco Cilea, who asked her to sing again the title role in his opera Adriana Lecouvreur.
From 1951 until her final retirement, Olivero sang in opera houses around the world. Among her most renowned interpretations were the leading parts in Adriana Lecouvreur, Iris, Fedora, La bohème, La fanciulla del West, La traviata, La Wally, Madama Butterfly, Manon Lescaut, Mefistofele, and Turandot (as Liù).
She sang in Cherubini's Médée (in the Italian version)at the Dallas Opera in 1967 and in Kansas City in 1968. In 1975, Olivero made her début at the Metropolitan Opera in Tosca. Her last performances on stage were in March 1981 in the one-woman opera, La voix humaine by Poulenc, in Verona; her stage career ending at age 71, after spanning nearly 50 years. She continued to sing sacred music locally and, well into her eighties, made a recording of several arias. Recordings exist of many of her performances of both full operas, arias and scenes.
