PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:

In the world of opera, nobody has replaced Maria Callas, and it's doubtful that anyone ever will. Even before her death in 1977, Maria Callas was a subject of controversy and never-ending fascination, a legend who will never be forgotten. Callas: The Voice, The Story is a comprehensive and sympathetic four-hour portrait in sound of the great soprano's life and career. Drawn from interviews with Callas, her life is told from her first inauspicious public appearance as an 11-year old on a radio program, to her years as a glamorous international diva, and finally, the last act in which she lost her voice, the man she loved, and life itself.

Commentaries and reminiscences by Rudolf Bing, Giuseppe di Stefano, Nicola Rescigno, Renata Tebaldi, Franco Zefferelli, and, of course, Maria Callas herself, are interspersed with excerpts from a rich selection of Callas' most memorable live performances. The result is a remarkably frank and heartbreaking portrait of an extraordinary woman. From the producers of the acclaimed "Enjoying Opera" series, this is a revised and re-edited version of the original program which aired on public radio in 1988.
