Best of Maria Callas

She was nearly blind, stood a good 150 feet from the podium, while singing. Extremely sensitive! She sensed music perfectly, precisely pitch-perfect.

A complete artist, not just a voice. Complex blend of music, drama, beauty, movement. Most legendary and enduring, Maria captivated audiences with her vibrant, vivid and passionate performances.

An aesthetic phenomenon. Absolutely charming, inspiring, iconic. A favourite soprano.
