  • Thank you so very much for replying, and so swiftly! Was her very first performance in America? and her last...was it here as well? Is she still alive? I heard that she taught for awhile...How many years did she perform live and how old was she when she did here last stage performance??/ Thanks! Your post has raised many questions for me. I am grateful for your time. Thanks, Kristen

  • @WUTaTALENT Maria Callas was lived her last years in paris after her 1973-4 farewell tour!Her last recording took place privately at her home in paris on 12 august 1977 and she died on 16 September 1977 at the age of 53!Her First Perfomance was as Santuza in 1938 in Athens at the Age of 15!

  • Are you saying that the music on your video is the last public music she sang? Can you be clear? I am curious. Thank you...also, what is your source for this statement? Again, just curious. I am a big fan of hers. Thanks.

  • Fascinating in that there is really nothing wrong with her voice. I think Gobbi was right when he said Callas lost confidence.

  • @WUTaTALENT She made her US debut in 1954 in Chicago after already having become a major star in Italy, and her last operatic performance in USA was Tosca at the MET in 1965, just few weeks before her last Tosca in London.

  • @WUTaTALENT This private recording was made in Paris at her home, while practicing for a possible return on stage, which never took place.

  • @WUTaTALENT And her last operatic performance was in London in 1965. After 7 years of retirement she went for a couple of years in a world (also US) tour recitals of arias and duets with tenor Giuseppe di Stefano, who was at that time also her lover, after she had been left by Aristotele Onassis who had married Jacqueline Kennedy in 1968. She last sang in public in Japan in 1975.
