Share your thoughts about La Divina Callas
🌹 In Memory of La Divina — Maria Callas
(2 December 1923 - 16 September 1977)
Today, we remember Maria Callas, the legendary La Divina, on the 49th anniversary of her passing. Callas was far more than a magnificent voice: she was a complete singing actress whose extraordinary musical intelligence, dramatic instinct and ability to inhabit a character transformed the way audiences experienced opera.
Her interpretations of Norma, Violetta, Tosca, Lucia, Medea, Anna Bolena and Amina, among many others, remain deeply embedded in the history of opera. Her artistry played an important role in the revival of the great bel canto repertoire, and her recordings continue to introduce new generations to her unique artistry.
On this special day, Opera Stars invites opera lovers, singers and music enthusiasts to join the conversation:
🎭 Which Maria Callas role is your absolute favourite — and why?
Is it Norma, with her extraordinary “Casta Diva”?
❤️ Violetta in La Traviata?
🔥 Tosca?
🌙 Lucia di Lammermoor?
⚔️ Medea?
👑 Anna Bolena?
🌹 Or perhaps one of her lesser-discussed interpretations?
Tell us the role that made you fall in love with Callas. And if you have a particular recording, performance or aria that you believe captures La Divina at her most extraordinary, share it with us.
Maria Callas may have left the stage, but the artist remains immortal. 🌹🎼
