Maria Callas and Aristotle Onassis | Marquee TV

Designer Wolfgang Joop and singer Rufus Wainwright weigh in on the relationship between Maria Callas and Aristotle Onassis.

A clip from the Magic Moments of Music documentary about Maria Callas' 1969 performance of Tosca.

Maria Callas: Diva and style icon. She was one of the greatest opera singers of all time. In 1964 her career seemed to be over; it was no longer her performances that were dominating the tabloids but the scandal surrounding her affair with the billionaire Onassis. But an epic performance defies the lies of her critics. Taking the concert as its main focus, the film tells the story of the events from today’s perspective.

She didn’t play at the top for attention, she adored Onassis who outright betrayed her and left her with his unborn child. Callas’ life was one of tragedy since childhood. Onassis was venom to her but yet she never gave up hope that one day he.D be back in her arms.

Onassis deserved all that came back to him for not respecting God's creations

[RazielMagic]

She poisoned him, “if she could not have no one else would”
Hurt women in love…… men don’t realize the damage they do leading women on. Then the women become angry at other women when it’s the men who can’t choose to begin with. Sad story of love we contend with… God save us from this victimization of love

Rufus was born in 73, Callas died in 77, how did Rufus drive Callas around in the 70s?

[gwynnielsen]

Onassis was definitely a father figure for Callas.

Well Jackie was never going to top JFK so….go for the money.

[sandramercado]

He was lucky to be a billionaire, you have to be blind by ambition to sleep with him😫

[trinat]

He married a woman that did not love him

[johncortez]

The heck is Rufus talking about we're the same age I'm 51 years old and I barely remember things about Jackie Kennedy and don't know much about Maria Callas I'm just starting to learn he's a liar

[LuLu-bjef]

Onassis actually was with Jackie's sister, Lee, before Jackie. As far as Rufus, he's talking when he was a teenager and driving around blasting a tape of MC. Rufus kind of doofus

Η Τζάκη Κέννεντυ έψαχνε ισχυρό αντικαταστάτη μετα τον θανατο του Κέννεντυ γιατί η οικογένεια δεν τις έδινε τίποτα. Η Κάλλας τον αγάπησε πραγματικά Μια παγκόσμια καλλιτεχνης και άνθρωπος υψηλού επιπέδου

Sie bewegte sich in der Upperclass, bevor sie ihn traf. Nämlich in der Upperclass der Kunst. Er war nur die Upperclass des Geldes.

Perché che fine ha fatto Tina Livanos, tra l'altro bellissima!? Non era un essere umano da rispettare?
E i suoi figli travolti da tutto?
Ricchi r infelici fino alla tragedia?

La valoarea ei ce o fi văzut la uritul ăla?😮
