Maria Callas – Onward and Beyond
It’s a great pleasure for us to launch the official Maria Callas estate site.
More than forty years after her untimely passing, Maria Callas indisputably remains the most exciting figure on operatic stage, not only of her own generation but of a whole century. Her inimitable art represents, in a most profound and refined way, the full expressive range of transcendental virtuosity as encapsulated in the glorious form of Opera.
As her only heirs and administrators of her estate, we retain the ambition of propagating her work to a whole new generation of artists and music lovers alike, who never had the chance to savor her greatness on stage.
As time goes by, her artistic impact, instead of waning, seems to consolidate an iconic and global status of reference for new generations of artists and music lovers alike, who never had the chance to savor her greatness on stage. But as La Divina becomes more and more the stuff of a legend, it was high time for us, the ones exclusively entitled to safeguard the integrity of her artistic and personal heritage, to undertake responsibility against illegal or improper exploitation of her fame as a singer and her integrity as a person.
The present website, is the only one run legitimately by the remaining members of her family and serves the ambition to further propagate her legacy in the most dignified, technically updated and scientifically authoritative way, in order for the present generation as well as for future ones to avoid misguidance and to acquire the most accurate possible overview of her singular artistry and personality.
Via this website we sincerely hope to win this battle of merit, counting on the assistance of her numerous devoted followers, touched as much as we have been by the beauty and the truth she served all along her brief yet art defining life.
Furthermore, the Estate is willing to encourage any activities promoting her singular artistry and personality and we will be of course planning our own initiatives, honoring her memory.
Thank you for your support!
