Exquisite! Such poise and control! She appears fearless... Taken from the opera Norma, first produced at La Scala in 1831. It contains a wide range of emotions: conflict of personal and public life, romantic life, maternal love, friendship, jealousy, murderous intent, and resignation. Casta Diva: Casta Diva, che inargenti queste sacre antiche piante, a noi volgi il bel sembiante senza nube e senza vel... Tempra, o Diva, tempra tu de’ cori ardenti tempra ancora lo zelo audace, spargi in terra quella pace che regnar tu fai nel ciel... Pure Goddess, whose silver covers These sacred ancient plants, we turn to your lovely face unclouded and without veil... Temper, oh Goddess, the hardening of you ardent spirits temper your bold zeal, Scatter peace across the earth Thou make reign in the sky... Sung by Maria Callas. youtube/watch?v=TYl8GRJGnBY
