Maria Callas would have been 90.
I cannot imagine her ageing.
I watched this celebration of her fate like a poem, another Greek myth.
I had seen it last year.
It took me back to Epidaurus where her ghost haunted me the whole afternoon I walked up and around the theater.
Some shots are amazingly beautiful, showing how she blossomed and suffered through a destructive love for a man who did not deserve it.http://www.arte.tv/guide/fr/037146-000/maria-callas-assoluta
A perfect tragic queen she was, Yvette! And I'm afraid she lived only long enough to appreciated the 'what could have been had I not fell for that Ari!'... :( I'm very grateful she was very well recorded, though, even way back into her early 'fat' years. What an experience it must have been to get to witness her live performances!
