Few women in the course of the twentieth century have aroused so much and excitement as Maria Callas. Her face, her voice and her legend are one of the cultural icons of our times. But who truly was Maria Callas? A greek child born in New York, an adolescent with complexes, humiliated by the excessive beauty of her sister, while she, a young fat and shapeless singer, had an abnormal and peerless voice.
And then, almost overnight, she became a diva of international prestige, the muse of the greatest intellects of her time, a slim and elegant woman launched into the international jet set, a magazine idol because of her loves, friendships, scandals and demonic rages. "Divina", they shout in the theaters when she sings and always a diva in her slightest actions.
One of those female artist to seem to burst into flame by spontaneous combustion each time they appear before the footlights, bringing the audience into the flames of their perfomance, consuming themselves more and more each time until dying from it.
On these blazing fires, on this devouring capacity for exaltation, is the Callas legend based, for those who know it. For the others it is worthwhile learning her story.
