Maria Callas: A Documentary

"The film [Bel Canto Society's Callas: A Documentary] shows the fascination of the woman and the artist, the interaction of the one with the other, and, in doing so, moves its audience with the strange mixture of glorious public achievement and deep personal unfulfilment....It's a film not to be missed, and the bonus footage sheds interesting light on its making, especially from John Ardoin, clearly one of its prime movers."--John Steane, Gramophone

I love Maria callas so much, and this video makes me love her even more. She sung everything how it should have been sung, and sadly, even though i want to become an opera singer, no one will ever match up to her musicality and voice,so I suppose being an opera singer would be almost pointless after the world has experienced the best opera singer that they will ever get, and yet being an opera singer is the most fulfilling thing I could do with my life

Passion.

@MastersoftheOpera Maria Callas is not one-dimensional as you would like it. She was not conceited, never spoiled. Arrogant, when the situation called for it, such as here, dealing with a stupid gaggle of arrogant reporters. She was sometimes happy and sometimes unhappy. She was sometimes secure and sometimes insecure. She was often modest and humble.

She is La Divina. Great character, on and off the stage. Bravo, Maria, for ever!

Bravo, Maria, You are the Best.

What stupid dudes there.

@sennahj Yeah, Onassis made an epic mistake betraying both himself and Maria.

He was hoping to be introduced to more US business circles by Jackie.

Like he needed it.

No offense. Callas was a great and important 20th century opera singer. I'm a fan. But from footage such as this, no matter how you justify it, her personality is conceited, arrogant and spoiled. She is a total diva.. She could have said "I just vant to be alone" LOL But from biographies she was insecure and very unhappy in her personal life. Still, I find it interesting that other sopranos like Beverly Sills were modest and humble.

She was gorgeous.

Splendid Maria!!!!!! Perla.

She's such a pleasure to watch. A fascinating person. And when she's angry she's so wonderfully sarcastic. Such eloquent expressions and such a characteristic, and in my opinion totally BEAUTIFUL face.
