UGH. NO. NO MARIA!! NO. You do NOT get to do that to me. Literally... Everytime I hear her sing this aria all life is sucked out of me and I just cry.
My wife will sing this on our wedding day.
And then I'll have to divorce her because she's not Callas.

Omg good night. This is her warm up. 10 seconds of warming up and then she's ready to sing one of Verdi's biggest mezzo roles.
She's ready.
But I'm not.
No one's ever ready for Lady Z.
