Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore,
 non feci mai male ad anima viva!
 Con man furtiva
 quante miserie conobbi, aiutai.
 Sempre con fe' sincera,
 la mia preghiera
 ai santi tabernacoli salì.
 Sempre con fe' sincera
 diedi fiori agli altar.
 Nell'ora del dolore
 perché, perché Signore,
 perché me ne rimuneri così?
 Diedi gioielli
 della Madonna al manto,
 e diedi il canto
 agli astri, al ciel, che ne ridean più belli.
 Nell'ora del dolore,
 perché, perché Signore,
 perché me ne rimuneri così?

When Maria Callas first sang at Convent Garden many years before this performance, it was her famous 'Norma' . . . she exited after the first scene,
and the audience did not applaud.  She turned to the director, surprised, and
said 'what did we do wrong?'  He replied, 'oh, the London audiences don't
interrupt the opera, Maria, with applause.'   It's a marvelous quality, really,
because they are so absorbed in the drama, and of course, she sang there
many times in many of her great roles, which you can hear in live recordings.
** However all that being said, this entire performance of Tosca is on youtube, so you can see and hear the tremendous ovation at the end of Act II . . . that's when
the London audience went wild.   When the curtain fell after Tosca has killed
Scarpia, places the candles around him, the cross on his chest, and sobbing
runs offstage, that's when the London audience silent and respectful
of such great acting, expressed their appreciation.  Unforgettable!

Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore
Non feci mai male ad anima viva
Con man furtiva
Quante miserie conobbi aiutai
Sempre con fe' sincera
La mia preghiera
Ai santi tabernacoli salì
Sempre con fe' sincera
Diedi fiori agli altar
Nell'ora del dolore
Perché, perché, Signore
Perché me ne rimuneri così?
Diedi gioielli della Madonna al manto
E diedi il canto agli astri, al ciel
Che ne ridean più belli
Nell'ora del dolor
Perché, perché, Signor
Ah, perché me ne rimuneri così?

Absolutely the best Tosca ever. She did not sing Tosca, she WAS Tosca. This is the real difference that made her the greatest!

@charlesblake2280

So true!

@dennisokeefe9255

Perfectly and powerfully summed up.

@richardkgoboko9616

Absolutely she was indeed Tosca
