Maria Callas was from New York City.

She was greek

You speak in such enthusiasm, like being a Greek yourself! Don't you know that more than 10 different tribes have lived in this island before Greeks? Assyrians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Persians, Hittites and many many more! :)

TheKayaklover You confuse nationality with ethnicity. You must learn the English language.

Savvas I speak from passion. Cyprus has been predominately Greek for centuries. But I digress. My original post remains.

Yes, it does give you pause.

@Who let the virus out? Woof woof woofhan You are brilliant.

@Oona Craig Actually I read an article in Vanity Fair years ago and it was stated factually that she was eight months pregnant living in switzerland and Onassis was coming to see her! She didn't want him to see her with the pregnancy weight so she had her doctor induce the labor! Her son was born but he was of a lower birth weight and died months later! It was concluded that her having induced the labor before full term, some babies are born overdue so only a good doctor, hers wasn't in my opinion, will induce labor for medical reasons! For years people thought he forced her to have an abortion and she was so angry with him for marrying Jackie and losing her son I think she wanted the world to believe that because she never corrected that rumor/lie whether she started it or not! I think she loved Onassis too much and she lost her child, her voice and a lot of her own self worth! But in the end it was all her own choice! Sad!!

@Oona Craig 1. Onassis never divorced Jackie. 2. Rumors of Maria being pregnant and the child dying are way before Onassis married Jackie. 3. Those rumors are more than likely false as Maria couldn’t get pregnant for medical reasons. Her first husband confirms this in an interview.

Maria callas à eu un traitement contre la ménopause précoce quelques mois avant de rencontrer Onassis en croisière

Sometimes you have to make your own destiny!

@@Dana_inc She tried to do exactly that…

she is American born in NY.

yes she was 'born' in new york, but she was all the way greek

@@nacht98 she's greek

Kalimera, Yes Born in New York from Greeks Parents, She was always feel 150% GRIEGA BRAVISIMO VIVA GRECIA GREEK. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

nacht98 plus she chose to be cremated and her ashes to be thrown into the Aegean Sea in Greece because that is her only true motherland.

Hello how are you doing today..💖

But is it true he treated her so bad

@@krystingrant6292 Really?🥺

And she plumbed the depths of her own despair and heartbreak to fill those tragic roles. May flights of angels sing you to your rest. Thank you for giving so generously without counting the cost. Que le bon dieu vous bénisse Chère Maria

She is and was the closest singer to perfection and remains so to this day. No one will ever best Maria!

❤ ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I feel the same .. she was born a day before my birthday and I celebrate both days as one .. one for myself and one in the righteous name of La Divina

I still adore her... La Callas!

It drives me absolutely nuts that all the movies I really want to see are limited releases.

Don't get your hopes up - this movie is dumb dumb dumb... Very disappointing unless you want to watch two hours of Callas getting in and out of limousines and on and off of airplanes. Boring

Monica Belucci perhaps?

I hope so too.

didn't see it.Do they mention her aquiring songs from inmates whom were lifers & never got recognition nor compensation? Watch interview w/ band House of the rising sun.He speaks of.Im wanting the truth.I adore her.

Eu também espero que a Netflix ou Prime vídeo Amazon adquira este vídeo....

@@freshfresha6758 wait-what

Edward Sanchez I agree; especially the face she makes in the pink outfit. It shows a more vulnerable side to her.

What's the aria she's singing there?

jason richards one of the strongest quote that’s coming out of this goddess.

La divina forever

damn

But came back crawling to her behind Jackie's back. He was a joke

But maria broke Giovanni's heart too ...sad

Absolutely true, but he returned to her, sadly not quite officially. She had a son by him, who died....and his son Alexander died in a plane crash that broke Ari's heart. All the makings of a Greek tragedy..

She loved the wrong man too hard! But of course what other way is there than to love hard! I wish she could have found a true love that was truly reciprocated at some point in her life!

There’s no such thing as the “best” soprano in history, but she’s damn close.

Yes I do agree with you .. if she is is not the Top 1 who dares to put someone above her .. not even God himself would

@@philipcondenzio1035 That's a personal perception,who are you to decide what the best for others is? To David Cold as well as myself and millions of others throughout the world ,she's the best and she will always be the best!

Nope.

@@arvedsin many sopranos told that... She is, and Will be, the best soprano ever, and anything can change that

lmboff!

better the sun than the seven plagues and counting

Gary Allen she did not know exactly what a Diva mean .. we the fans created that for her it is people the one responsible for creating Divas .. Barbra Streisand is a Diva , we created her That way , Kim Kardashian’s can’t be a Diva .. don’t ask me why , since you seem to know all the answers

Antypas, yesterday i saw the movie on Belgium TV. There's nothing to be afraid of. It gives you a look into the life of a genius who had to deal with mediocre media, to have to deal with people who didn't understand the price she had to pay to bring her heavenly voice and music to this earth. I just admire the woman even more then i did already.

@Gary Allen Evidently you don't know that Maria began singing on the stage as a young teenager in Greece; she was hardly a "short-term opera singer." You can dislike Maria all you want, but NO ONE can ever say that she wasn't concerned about the quality singing of opera.

yes

And her face after that....one of the sexiest things I ever saw (when sexy means beauty elegance charm and not mud like nowdays).

Specially when it’s coming from a self assured woman. :/

I don't think so. Her "friendship" (weird euphemism for an affair) with Onassis was toxic, but she didn't cut him loose because 🤑.

cameronpaul VERY DISAPOINTED INDEED. THEY LEFT OUT HER GREAT YEARS MEXICO CITY & LA SCALA. don't brother seeing it my friends. A VERY POOR ATTEMPT Arnold Bourbon Amaral

It was released in 2017 but can't find it anywhere!

I just saw it yesterday in Pittsburgh (December 2018). Great film about her life.

Saw it two weeks ago in NYC...absolutely brilliant!

A link to the film, plssss❗

Please, you know where it can be seen?. Netflix, Amazon video, o whatever.

Watched the Butterfly footage again and again. It looks incredible

Yeah, watching those performances with colors looks kinda weird. As for me, I thought the Tosca one was black.

I specially loved her in 1:53. Literally a Greek Goddess with great presence.

gay comment

@@marimbagal7225 Jajaj, los hombres estamos cagados, si mostramos algo de dulzura somos gays, y si decimos cosas fuertes somos acosadores sexuales.

Hello pretty 💖

Rudolf Bing was an ass and a petty, petty man. He chased after her for nearly six years before getting her to the Met and offered her very little. His talk of production values, holding singers, directors and conductors accountable paled in comparison to her standards. He could have offered her something new to take on the Spring Tour but didn’t. And then he milked her dismissal for all that he could. Even hiring someone to yell “Brava Callas” to get the audience on the side of Leonie Rysanek. And how about the tactless comments about Beverly Sills? Piss on him!!

@@johnpickford4222 I didn't know about this!! I'm shocked to no bitter end

To be fair to Bing, when the Met lost a booking of the Bolshoi Ballet (one of their lead dancers defected on the eve of the tour) rather than have his building dark for 2 weeks, he called Bill Graham who ran the Fillmore East who was, in his mind, his equivalent in the Rock world. Bing made Graham an offer to bring his acts to the Met. Graham brought The Who, Frank Zappa & The Grateful Dead into the Metropolitan Opera House

@@jennifersman7990 How is this "fair to Bing" and what has it to do with Maria Callas?

I wonder if Bing ever regretted that comment?

Hello pretty 💖

LOL

Never is to late to learn 😊

I saw Callas twice at the old Met: Norma and La Traviata. I consider her the most overrated opera singer of all-time.

@@edwardwalter9072 When did you see her, during the end of her career? Also, Callas wasn't just renowned for her singing skills, but also for her acting skills likewise, as well as her character/beauty.

Yes, I agree. The facial structure is an excellent match and they both possess a regal bearing. Excellent eye!

@@richardevans9003 Fanny Ardant played Callas and was excellent.

A movie is coming with Angelina Jolie.

Maria Callas has made the lockdown a pleasure - I can listen to her, uninterrupted.
