Description

Callas is without question the greatest opera legend of the 20th century. This unique film offers a rare opportunity to view Callas on French television, in conversation with great figures such as Francesco Siciliano and Luchino Visconti. The eternal diva is represented from documentary sources culled from Europe, this time the programme-length Parisian Sunday show L'Invitee Du Dimanche hosted by Pierre Desgraupes. It is fascinating and illuminating to see and hear the diva discuss her art in a sophisticated, highly philosophical manner during a transitional period in her career. She was on the verge of filming Pasolini's Medea, contemplating a stage comeback. Included in the programme are performances of arias from Il Trovatore, Barber of Siviglia and Norma.
