Nope. Callas was not a true coloratura.
Her voice sounds strained in this aria.
Callas' voice was too thick and too heavy
for true coloratura singing. Nowhere close
to such true coloratura voices as Erna Sack,
Erna Berger, Mado Robin, Miliza Korjus, or
Ingeborg Hallstein -- or even Rita Streich.
Cheers!
