This is the story of Maria Callas. Perhaps no performer in this century has generated such adulation, stirred such controversy, and had so great an impact on the world of opera and the arts as Callas. The unrivaled singing actress of our time, she is the standard against which all others must measure themselves. She brought back a style of singing forgotten for more than a century, revived a repertory all but lost, and restored to the musical stage the dramatic power that is opera at its grandest.
