Maria Callas: The Rise and Fall of an Opera Diva

Nearly 50 years after her death, Maria Callas remains one of the most iconic opera singers of all time, not just for her voice, but for her striking image. But who was she underneath that impossibly chic facade? In this episode, we examine opera’s most famous It Girl and attempt to unravel myths, misconceptions, and tiresome tropes about suffering artists, jilted women, and temperamental divas.
