Movie: Maria Callas: La Divina: A Portrait

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    Directed by Tony Palmer for Melvyn Bragg's British television South Bank Show, this doco on Callas uses interviews with those that knew the Greek soprano, news footage, and Callas herself talking intercut in time with footage of her singing, often with the choice of music commenting on her life, though regrettably none of the music is identified for us.
