Maria Callas is the definition of an icon. Perhaps the most renowned and influential opera singer of all time, she is revered not just for her otherwordly voice and dramatic flair but for her passion, beauty and innate sense of style. The fire and intensity of her personal life paralleled the dramatic roles she interpreted so passionately.
The publisher, Roads, worked closely with the Fondaziono Proge Marzotto, the Italian arts trust who acquired the archive of Maria Callas in 2013; and Karl van Zoggel, head of International Maria Callas club.
The Definitive Maria Callas is a lavish visual biography, and a comprehensive and joyous exploration of the life and work of a world-renowned diva. The large hardcover book showcases never-before-seen intimate letters, personal photographs and Callas’ private collection of recipes.
