Casta Diva

Her Casta Diva truly great,
Maria Callas soothes my soul,
The music moving me to tears,
This is the finest piece I know.

I listen to her voice and smile,
Get goosebumps at her perfect tone.
She sang Bellini’s masterpiece
And made the aria her own.


For Soul Tunes

You surely have a masterpiece here about one of the greatest opera singers of all time. Surely this will be a winner in the Soul Tunes contest! (When I saw the title, I chuckled and thought, "Yeah, they probably cast a diva for the role of Madame Arcati. LOL ) Winning wishes to you! Love, Carolyn

Hi Jack, enjoyed your poem and tribute to Maria Callas! You should know that one of my relatives was a well known opera singer in the US (she emigrated when the Nazis took power). Her name is Lotte Lehmann and she was also a writer and filmmaker. She was buried at the famous cemetary in Vienna....Love, Gert
