Update: As I suspected when I first posted this video, it was removed from YouTube. Dommage !
With thanks to Aprile Millo, who shared this link on Facebook, here are previously unknown-to-me snippets of Callas singing “Casta diva” from Norma and “Sì, mi chiamano Mimì” from La bohème.
The second clip is from 1959 or later, but I do not know the precise occasion on which these were filmed. I will continue my investigation, and reader comments are most welcome!

Cher Robin, merci de votre mot. Oui, je sais, ce monsieur (? cette dame ?) a l'air pas bien, et il y a un autre qui lui fait la guerre... Pauvre Maria !
