This is such a profound interview. The intelligence and depth of this woman in so many areas of subjects puts to shame the fluff that people are interviewed about these days. Just nonsense and stupidity. Brava Maria.

She even makes speaking english beautiful! ❤

The interviewer was the son of the Princess Royal -- Princess Mary who was the daughter of King George V. His mother was the sister of QEII's father. Lord Harewood was an opera expert who did much to make opera more popular in Britain.

Not only beautiful and multi talented but highly intelligent as well. She single handedly revived and modernized opera. RIP Ultimate Diva.

I agree. ❤ And unfortunately, we do not get often this kind of beauty anymore. It looks as though everyone is trying to look the same. Imagine if Callas was young today how much she would feel the pressure to make her nose smaller, her lips even fuller etc. She would have a lot to put up with before gaining confidence in her talent.

Maria Callas. La Divina. The greatest soprano in the world. Her name must always be spoken in a reverent tone.

She is at her house in Paris, sitting on her Sofa.. But She looks as she was about to sing "Casta Diva" at any moment!! Only Callas can give you.. That Flash. The one and the only 🌟

María Callas, la divina de la ópera de todos los tiempos, amigos míos, nadie la ha superado o igualado hasta el día de hoy. 🌹🌹🌹

The most fascinating and beautiful woman of the 20th century. Miss you Maria.

Even at this age, Maria Callas was so sexy and beautiful. And her voice was so breathtaking and heart-melting. And she had a beautiful mind. I wish there were more women like her.

She's mesmerizing!!! I don't want her to be dead.

One of the most remarkable women to ever set foot among us mere mortals. How I wish she had been happier, especially during the final lonely years of her life. Viva Callas.

If you hear and see her sing, there is no doubt that she was happy then. And she did sing a lot, didn't she?

She studied and knew the whole score.. Gave her all to all the roles she sang.. Brava DIVINA

Classy diva, elegant, professional & stunning ❤️her beauty is overwhelming

She had so many great ideas. She really was next level as far as performers go. So much so that I don't believe an of her contemporaries or those who came after her could approach her level of sophistication when it came to understanding what she talks about creating the mysticism and atmosphere that makes theatre work. She was able to create a credible believable character out of some pretty bad story lines where others might sing well but act ludicrously. This insight was her's alone and she found it I believe through the truth of the music and her identification with it.

Very very true...

Callas was a fascinating interviewee. She exuded authority, great artistic insight and incredible magnetism. No doubt she was the supreme diva (in the best sense of the term) of the 20th Century. Controversial and temperamental NO DOUBT! however few operatic first ladies portrayed tragic romantic roles (Vissi d'arte) with such honesty, commitment and intensity as Callas; a facet of her art which certainly galvanised, moved and excited audiences.

She was a genius!

Solo puedo decir, que belleza de mujer y que talento le dió Dios , Bendiciones de Dios para todos.

Wagner said he never wrote a meaningless note. Callas never sang one. Never has there been a more compelling, more commanding, more fervent, more dramatically glorious voice. Even when she is only speaking, as here, she holds us spellbound.

Parts of this interview, with the camera focused on her, are missing and replaced with a longer shot of Serafin. She was relaying a pivotal memory and her facial expressions were priceless. Every available nuance of her in this documentary should be shown.

She's beautiful

first time seeing any of her interviews. great performer, musician and professional

Talented, beautiful, articulate, bellísima ❤

Beyoncé sang ave Maria lol Don’t even go there Maria is pure talent that Greek beauty classy like such an amazing woman

I think she was the greatest opera singer of the era of recorded sound... bearing in mind that it was not possible to record music in true high-quality sound (high fidelity, as they called it) until the late 1950s/early 60s, exactly when Callas was at the peak of her career! Wow.

A genius in every language.

Absolutely riveting

wonderful!

1)Callas statement about Opera that should adapt to its time👌. Today they are still performing lengthy tiresome pieces hence people are not coming to watch and many opera houses are sinking into debt because unable to sell ticket, relying on banks donation. 2) Callas statement on Contemporary music, intellectualized sounds that give you headaches instead of soothing your soul.🙏 3) The interview starts with a master class on how to build a role from the first look at the score to the stage performance. Thanks for posting...

What I love about Maria Callas is that she digs in life's concepts looking for passion , she is never satisfied with only one formula or with one style . And if you think about it in a CERTAIN WAY you'll feel that she is right , because sometimes after you reach your aim , or lets just say "your success" you ask yourself : " Is this actually a success or should I dig for more ? " Because the moment you reach this destination there is no challenge or struggling , there is only the part of enjoying the success ( I am not generalizing , I am specifying definite situations ) How do you feel about this perspective ? Do you agree with me ?

In the Presents of Greatness!

Ma no, non c'è paragone fra le due. Onassis era un un farabutto rozzo e pedestre, il suo solo sentimento era il denaro. Egocentrico e narcisista, non poteva tollerare quella divina donna, che gli era superiore milioni di volte. Lui affermò di essere stato innamorato solo dii Lee, la sorella di Jackie, sposata Radziwill. Jaqueline si poteva intendere di arredamento, moda o fotografia, ma la Callas era una artista!!; L'artista è colui che crea, quello che prima non c'era e che dopo può essere solo imitato. E le sue interpretazioni erano creazioni uniche e continue...
