A quarter of a century has now passed sincethe Greekborn soprano Maria Callas died in Paris, but during that time interest in her hasnot diminished in any manner whatsoever. Recordings of her live appearances have continuedto pour forth from the most unlikelyplaces which, despite varying ranges ofsound quality, seem to be lapped up by heradoring public. Furthermore, it is over thirty years since her final concert appearances andalmost forty since she left the operatic stage. Her public and private life at the time madethe news headlines throughout the world.So, what is it about this artist that continuesto fascinate her public? While opinions ofher vocal qualities continue to arouse widedebate, what cannot be disputed is the magnetismof her personality in all that she sang. She had that rare quality within a simplephrase to captivate, enthral and excite anaudience. As a dramatic stage artist herability to encapsulate the inner soul of therôle she was portraying was unique. Sadly all too few visual examples of her live stageperformances survive but those that do givefascinating glimpses of her special charisma.
