Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maria Callas returned to the stage in 1971 to teach master classes at Juilliard. This intriguing forum later inspired Terrence McNally's acclaimed play Master Class. Outspoken and uncompromising in her artistic beliefs, Callas worked through her legendary arias from Mozart, Verdi, Rossini, Puccini, and others.

Download or read book Maria Callas written by Anne Edwards and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling biographer Anne Edwards comes the irresistible true story of the lives and loves of the great opera diva, Maria Callas. Maria Callas continues to mesmerize us decades after her death, not only because she was indisputably the greatest opera diva of the 20th century, but also because both her life and death were shrouded in a Machiavellian web of scandal, mystery and deception. Now Anne Edwards, well known for her revealing and insightful biographies of some of the world's most noted women, tells the intimate story of Maria Callas—her loves, her life, and her music, revealing the true woman behind the headlines, gossip and speculation. The second daughter of Greek immigrant parents, Maria found herself in the grasp of an overwhelmingly ambitious mother who took her away from her native New York and the father she loved, to a Greece on the eve of the Second World War. From there, we learn of the hardships, loves and triumphs Maria experienced in her professional and personal life. We are introduced to the men who marked Callas forever—Luchino Visconti, the brilliant homosexual director who she loved hopelessly, Giovanni Battista Meneghini, the husband thirty years her senior who used her for his own ambitions, as had her mother, and Aristotle Onassis, who put an end to their historic love affair by discarding her for the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy. Throughout her life, Callas waged a constant battle with her weight, a battle she eventually won, transforming herself from an ugly duckling into the slim and glamorous diva who transformed opera forever, whose recordings are legend, and whose life is the stuff of which tabloids are made. Anne Edwards goes deeper than previous biographies of Maria Callas have dared. She draws upon intensive research to refute the story of Callas's "mystery child" by Onassis, and she reveals the true circumstances of the years preceding Callas's death, including the deception perpetrated by her close and trusted friend. As in her portraits of other brilliant, star-crossed women, Edwards brings Maria Callas—the intimate Callas—alive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coating opera's roles in opulence, Maria Callas (1923-1977) is a lyrical enigma. Seductress, villainess, and victor, queen and crouching slave, she is a gallery of guises instrumentalists would kill to engineer… made by a single voice. But while her craftsmanship has stood the test of time, Callas’ image has contested defamation at the hands of saboteurs of beauty. Twelve years in the making, this voluminous labour of love explores the singer with the reverence she dealt her heroines. The Callas Imprint: A Centennial Biography reaps never-before-seen correspondence and archival documents worldwide to illustrate the complex of their multi-faceted creator - closing in on her self-contradictions, self-descriptions, attitudes and habits with empathic scrutiny. It swivels readers through the singer's on- and offstage scenes and flux of fears and dreams... the double life of all performers. In its unveiling of the everyday it rolls a vivid film reel starring friends and foes and nobodies: vignettes that make up life. It's verity. It's meritable storytelling. Not unlike the Callas art.
Download or read book Cast a Diva written by Lyndsy Spence and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maria Callas (1923–77) was the greatest opera diva of all time. Despite a career that remains unmatched by any prima donna, much of her life was overshadowed by her fiery relationship with Aristotle Onassis, who broke her heart when he left her for Jacqueline Kennedy, and her legendary tantrums on and off the stage. However, little is known about the woman behind the diva. She was a girl brought up between New York and Greece, who was forced to sing by her emotionally abusive mother and who left her family behind in Greece for an international career. Feted by royalty and Hollywood stars, she fought sexism to rise to the top, but there was one thing she wanted but could not have – a happy private life. In Cast a Diva, bestselling author Lyndsy Spence draws on previously unseen documents to reveal the raw, tragic story of a true icon.
Download or read book Maria Callas written by René de Ceccatty and published by Neri Pozza Editore. This book was released on 2023-05-16T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maria Callas: da Ingeborg Bachmann a Roland Barthes, da Marguerite Duras a Hervé Guibert, scrittori e filosofi ne hanno celebrato il canto come la piú alta espressione della voce umana. La sua incredibile estensione vocale, la sua voce, come ha scritto Maurice Fleuret, «orientale e popolare, metallica, ricca di contrasti e roca», cosí lontana dalla scuola italiana di una Tebaldi, la sua postura vocale opposta alla tradizione, il suo inimitabile temperamento drammatico ne hanno eretto il monumento e costruito un mito che perdura sino ai nostri giorni. Oggetto di una mole incredibile di commenti, articoli, libri, spettacoli teatrali, balletti, la sua esistenza è stata spesso travisata da racconti infedeli, caratterizzati da un’ambigua mescolanza di stereotipi – sulla «sventura», sul «genio» e sul «destino» – e di curiosità morbose. Di straordinaria intelligenza musicale, Maria Callas non è stata, infatti, altrettanto saggia nella vita – secondo Marina Cicogna, la coproduttrice di Medea, il film di Pasolini che la vide protagonista, aveva sacrificato la sua carriera magica alla speranza del Grande Amore – ed è forse questo il motivo per cui tanti biografi, nel tentativo di trovare la chiave del suo mito, hanno fatto ricorso agli elementi propri di un melodramma. Animato da antica passione per Maria Callas, riaccesa dal suo interesse per Pasolini e dai rapporti di amicizia con i suoi ammiratori e ammiratrici, René de Ceccatty narra in queste pagine della vita della grande cantante lirica alla ricerca di ciò che l’ha resa unica e inimitabile a tal punto da non aver esercitato alcuna influenza visibile o udibile su altri artisti. Colei il cui nome basta da solo a simboleggiare l’opera lirica del XX secolo, colei che ha rivoluzionato il bel canto, andando oltre i manierismi gratuiti e inespressivi della tradizione, rimane un fenomeno unico, una stella che brilla da sola nel firmamento musicale del Novecento. «“Callas” si conferma un nome magico, un riferimento inevitabile quando si parla della voce umana. Ha cancellato il mito di Malibran, alla quale ha comunque reso omaggio visitandone la tomba e i cui ritratti adornavano le pareti del suo appartamento di Parigi. E ci sono scarse probabilità che in futuro qualche altra cantante possa mai sostituirla in questo ruolo simbolico». «René de Ceccatty è un fine intenditore della cultura e della letteratura italiana del Novecento». L’Indice dei Libri del Mese Hanno detto di Elsa Morante. Una vita per la letteratura: «Un libro potente, ricco ed efficace». minima&moralia «Riccamente documentata, appassionante, quest’indagine non si limita a risuscitare il genio di una donna e di un’epoca: dà gran voglia di rituffarsi nell’opera». Le Monde «De Ceccatty muove sí dalla volontà di celebrare il valore letterario dell’opera della scrittrice ma anche di toccare da vicino il monumento e smettere di guardarlo con timore reverenziale». Il Fatto Quotidiano
