It is fascinating to hear her speak seeing as she was American born but she developed a foreign accent which was unique to her. I love her accent….a mix of British, French, Italian and Greek….. Callas was a tragic figure but her legacy will endure.
She was so YOUNG when she passed 🙏 The book ..GREEK FIRE ....is a Great read I own the book and I've read twice ..I m going to read AGAIN ..IM 48 and shocked at how young she was when passing how I missed this in book is shocking .
What a strong, and beautiful lady who gave so much. I hope everyone, especially those who saw her realized how blessed they were! There could never be another like he!!! Rest in Peace beautiful Maria!!!!
@@terryhenson3350 now I want to give comment abut Maria Callas in real life. She didn’t know how to take care of her self, she died young at 53 while she had lost her voice. According to the recent movie Maria she didn’t have any friend, her sister didn’t want to have anything with her and at-last she died alone. This is sad.
It is rather strange and emotional to walk in Athens where she suffered and suddenly to see advertisement of Maria the movie outside of the Opera where she started. A full circle of tragedy and yet triumph. Classic Greek
The word “diva “ in Italian means a different thing than in English. It means someone of superb qualities, intelligence and beauty. The Americans are using the word in a pejorative way.
Yes! The talentless & egomaniacal Jlo is the worst ever in regards to claming the title Diva. It was once a badge of honour, but Hollywood cheapened the title.
Maria Callas remains one of the best Opera singers in the world and it is pure blasphemy that an actress with no musical talent or physical resemblance like Angelina Jolie to potray her in a biopic...
I totally agree that Angelina Jolie was not a good choice to portray Someone so Special as Maria. Years ago a talented, gorgeous French actor Fanny Ardant ❤️ played her. And was Amazing!!❤
When one does not resolve childhood issues it is not easy to maintain a career as a star she is not the only one . When there are unresolved issues then it manifests as subconscoous self destruction.
Omg I love this woman toujour je t'écoute toujours en Nouvelle Zélande à mon âge 70s mais j'étais en France London almost 20years. My heart is theatre opera ❤❤❤
People who know more than I have helped me understand her voice. It is not always pretty but it always portrays the drama needed for the parts. There have been many pretty voices but only one perfectly dramatic voice that was Maria Callas. I think she gave so much, worked her voice so hard, that that may have shortened her performing career. Her repertoire was amazing. Many other singers are known for only a few operas while Maria did many. Apparently some roles can damage the voice. Marilyn Horne, in her autobiography, described certain ranges that should not be done often. Maria gave all she had to opera and the public. Thankfully there are many good recordings. By the time she met Onassis, she was ready to have some play time, something she had never had before in her life. It makes sense that she strayed from the grueling work schedule and found some enjoyment.
I agree with you. They talk bad about Onasis but for Maria was an oasis. She loved him so much! He was like medicine for her to cure a stressful life in the opera environment.
Callas learned her part in "I Puritani" in six-days while singing Die Walküre in the evenings. She had previously learned "Qui La Voce/Vien Diletto," which she recorded for Cetra in 1949.
So sad her story is...I only can feel sorry for her, she was a star,but for so short time...the childhood trauma didn't leave her to stay long with us...she could have 20more yars at least to sing..
Well, she was singing for 30 years. A lot of time for an opera singer. And every time she was on the stage she tried to give the best of her. That's why Maria Callas is so much better than other sopranos. She brought passion on the stage of the opera! She was extraordinary ! ❤❤❤❤
I never liked A. Onassis, who in fact became wealthy in Argentina. As far as I know, he went to Argentina poor, without one cent!!! I do not like him for his terrible betrayal to María Callas, who loved him deeply, so it seems. He got his punishment by marrying a selfish and frivolous woman like Jackie O. I love the way Callas sings. I do not understand when people say she did not have a pretty voice. I wish I could sing like her or like any of these gifted opera singers. What a gift from God to sing like Callas!! Ir is true that she suffered a great deal and had many complexes and psychological issues, but she was truthful in everything. Rest in peace Maria Callas.
"a string of passionate loves... involved in a number of high profiled relationship..." overstated, inaccurate, unless those passionate loves and high profiled relationships include Pollione, Alfredo, Jason of the Argonauts, Radames, Mario Cavaradossi...
The great conductor Tullio Serafin referred to Callas as "un grande vociaccia” (a big ugly voice). Serafin was a mentor to and admirer of Callas, so calling her that must have been tongue-in-cheek.
She was gorgeous and so gifted what class what style she had fame and fortune everything the world could offer but she wasn’t at peace because she didn’t have God. If she would have practiced Christianity it would have shaped her choices in life and she would have had a far better life and outcome
I just begun to know her, through Aristotle onnasis having had married Jacqueline Kennedy. I would have never forgiven Aristotle Onnasis if i were in her shoes.
This biopic could have been quite interesting if they would have used more appropriate pictures and videos connected to what the narrator is saying. Pity also there are quite few mistakes in the narration!
In her time, the impact of smoking on vocal health wasn't as widely understood as it is today. It's remarkable how her voice still left such an enduring legacy despite this!
Sir, your Italian pronunciation is horrendous, an embarrassment to the production of this video, including pronouncing “Callas” like “callous.” I’m sorry, but such ignorance from a narrator is inexcusable. May I suggest you hire someone who could help you with the pronunciation of Latin-based words. I hope this helps.
Aï Puritani ? And why not Aï Puraïtanaï ??? 🤣 Oh, and by the way, she sang at the "Old Met", so no need to put a picture of the new Met... So many mistakes in this short presentation. Leave it to the professionals...
@@SeanBiancosoperalounge-sf3iv Will our lives have to be forever submitted to Artificial Stupidity rather than Human Intelligence and culture and knowledge ? 😱🤬
Maria movie is written badly, Angelina as Maria just walk, sit and say some words, she doesn’t communicate with anyone, she is so annoying. Her long hair style is nothing like Maria in real life. The whole entire movie at home she wears the same Robe . American don’t care abut Maria Cales and specially her involvement with Onassis.
Omg thank you, I just watched the movie and it was so bad, it was like watching documentary, very badly made, Hollywood could’ve made a beautiful movie about Maria Callas with another actress.
The movie "Maria" is unfortunately a major disappointment-and not Callas but a Jolie who tries to capitalize on the greatest diva of all time--so sorry but it does not work and once again a Hollywood type of shamble
One of the magnificent women who came to this world and left a mark. It was beautiful and extraordinary in everything.
There are millions of Maria's but one ultimate Callas
It is fascinating to hear her speak seeing as she was American born but she developed a foreign accent which was unique to her. I love her accent….a mix of British, French, Italian and Greek…..

Exactly! Her accent is such a unique blend.

This is not supposed to be the story of a most famous woman Opera singer in the world. Young, beautiful and rich.
Mi auguro che dopo la sua morte la sua cara sorella e madre non abbiano ereditato nulla di Maria,@@vidajavid7851

She's incredible and rightfully a Star of her own
Obviously a vocal prodigy... but also a musical genius.
She wasnt a diva. She was a woman of intelligence who stated her opinion, they shouldn’t be confused. Great icon.
The word “diva “ in Italian means a different thing than in English.

Bad childhood, lack of love traumatizes the soul for ever…

Thanks so much for your support, it really means a lot!

Evil jealous people will.never admit someone God given perfection❤
even though i knew for a long time all of this today it made me sad again

While performing Die Walküre.

@danawinsor1380 yes ...empty fluff pieces to be sure

A true force of nature that we will never see again.
Beautiful inside and out
Just researched and it says losing weight can definitely have an impact on the vocals 😢
You're right, many believe it refined her tone but may have sacrificed some of its power. A fascinating transformation, no doubt!
yes, because the voice comes from the belly, not the throat
I studied with her teacher Elvira. She was fantastic.❤ very missed…

Smoking didn’t effect her voice. She was blessed!❤
Everyone smokes cigarettes 🚬 in Europe
Maria ❤is remarkable her life had heartbreak 💔 😢Agony over Ari Onassis
I’m surprised she was a smoker and did not mess up her voice
La Divina - the only true Diva.
Smoking is a cardiovascular risk factor, it probably shortened her life😢
She had a terrible childhood, but became the ultimate diva RIP 🩷🩵
She showed great courage and overcame so much!
She wasted her prime with a playboy, Greek man.
and an unattractive man, but he sure had money!
Karma came for him later.
And to make matters worst Aristotle wasn’t even good looking
@@samuelm.5752Maria Callas was the only woman who definitely didn't want him for his money

I agree with you!
I just begun to know her, through
Aristotle onnasis having had married Jacqueline Kennedy. I would have never forgiven Aristotle Onnasis if i were in her shoes.
In my opinion, the betrayal of Aristotle Onnasis might have precipitated her decline. Loss of Love, Loss of Life.
Che peccato si sia annullata, dopo tanto lavoro, sacrificio, talento x diventare quella grande artista che e' stata x un pirata come Onassis.
Well Angelina cant be her on screen 😢 she was so beautiful!
she was a smoker- that affects the voice..
Loosing her weight, made her really loose her voice.
Smoking does affect the lung capacity, breathing & vocal chords.
Later in life and she already had a kind of neurological disease.
It's pronouced CAH-las not as in calous on your skin. How much effort does it take to pronounce her name properly?
Unknown to an AI voice. Can’t stand AI to narrate.
This is AI for you. 😢
I would hardly call Queen Elizabeth II a celebrity!
This biopic could have been quite interesting if they would have used more appropriate pictures and videos connected to what the narrator is saying. Pity also there are quite few mistakes in the narration!
thank you for watching and for your feedback !

I dont like her voice, but her personality is wonderful.
The voice over pronunciation is atrocious!
It's not a person it's AI
Onassis soube muito bem usar os traumas de infância de Callas contra ela, era assim que ele a destruiu Divina Maria Callas 🌹 ❤
is there any truth to the tapeworm question?
Poor women Jaqui also Rich men beugh basta 😮
Could you write other than jargonese?
Jackie was definitely not poor. She was paid $1 million to marry Kennedy as they have to look respectable.
Wait a minute, early menopause and she got pregnant by Aristotle Onassis?
How could she possibly smoke???
In her time, the impact of smoking on vocal health wasn't as widely understood as it is today. It's remarkable how her voice still left such an enduring legacy despite this!
