🎤 Maria Callas, born Maria Anna Cecilia Sofia Kalogeropoulou on December 2, 1923, in New York City, was not just an opera singer—she was a phenomenon. 🌟 Renowned for her dramatic intensity, extraordinary vocal range, and unparalleled artistry, Callas redefined operatic excellence and became one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Her journey to international fame began in post-war Italy during the late 1940s. 🎶 With her powerful voice and ability to revive forgotten bel canto operas by composers like Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini, Callas set a new standard for opera. Her portrayals of Norma, Tosca, and Violetta remain definitive, showcasing her unmatched talent and emotional depth.

But Maria Callas’s life was as dramatic as the roles she brought to life. ❤️‍🔥 In 1949, she married Giovanni Battista Meneghini, who supported her meteoric rise. However, their union ended in 1959, overshadowed by her passionate and highly publicized affair with Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis—a relationship that captivated the world but ended in heartbreak.

📌 Topics Covered:

🎶 Maria Callas's transformation from a young girl in New York to the world’s greatest soprano.
🎭 Her groundbreaking revival of bel canto opera and her iconic roles.
💔 The scandalous love affair with Aristotle Onassis and its devastating impact on her life.
🕊 Her tragic final years and enduring legacy as “La Divina.”
🎬 In this video, we explore the extraordinary life of Maria Callas, a woman whose voice mesmerized audiences across the globe and whose personal struggles became the stuff of legend. Her passion, heartbreak, and triumphs remain as relevant today as ever. With the release of the biopic Maria, starring Angelina Jolie, we revisit the story of a woman who lived a life as grand and operatic as the roles she performed on stage.

Thank you Everyone for the support. I hope you appreciate the long and intricate narratives, it is why it takes so long to create these videos. As I really want to do the amazing women's stories justice. I hope you feel I succeed. Your support matters so much, the more you support, the more we can keep making these videos. As I love telling these stories. As the only women's biography channel on youtube, I want to write so many of their stories. But as a one person channel, it takes time. Let me know who you would like to see next, and your thoughts on this one.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

She was always considered a typical cranky diva. Little did we know that this was not true. She was a great and strong woman whose entire life was a fight against rejection and a lack of love. She continued to move forward no matter how much it hurt. I do believe that emotional pain and lack of love can cause physical illness. She suffered much.
I can understand her clinging to these two miserable men. She desperately searched for love with these men. However, how can you recognize love when you never really knew love from birth.
This was a fine biography that explained so much. Thank you for your excellent effort and attention to detail.

This was an amazing biography. It's heartbreaking that she was only 53 when she died.

What a remarkable woman! I firmly believe, most often, when you see a successful woman, you need only look a few steps behind her to find a predatory man, resentful family and/or disapproval from a section of society for some perceived wrongdoing. Thank you for telling these women’s stories without filtering them through the lens of men.

My heart breaks for Maria 💔😢 Used, abused, exploited and betrayed by so many. I wish, I could travel through time and just hug her

[jaxxd]

This biopic is well done, good job.
My heart hurts for her, none of the many disappointing men in her life deserve her presence.

[lucillem]

This one broke my heart. Sadly, her mother's rejection of her as a child became the template for how she would be treated. Onassis was way out of league and knew it. So he clipped her wings so she could not fly. But fly she did. What a gift she was to us mortals. ❤

❤🙏 Maria Callas 1923-1977, rests in blissful eternal peace.🙏❤

"I do not cry on tragedy, I cope with it" Maria Callas is the greatest opera singer of all times and her thoughts and opinions shared in video interviews are inspirational. Just watched the biopic at the cinema and it was made for Angelina Jolie, not for the legendary La divina....

[Alden]

A testament to “Life imitating art”. A very sad testament. Used, abused, rejected from the beginning. Onassis the ultimate cad, his wealth allowing him to court and play women left and right. As someone commented, my heart hurts for her.

Brava, as always! A true Greek tragedy! Such a strong soul doomed by love.

[eliza]

Mille Grazia x's 1 million for not painting this phenomenal human being as a sentimental victim. Brava to you .

[KarensOpinionsMayDiffer]

Cruelty among family members never ceases to amaze me. My goodness she was gorgeous! She deserved so much better than short, ugly chauvinists.

[JenLev]

I have seen so many videos on her, but your videos always have so much more information. Thank you. Your research is really amazing. BTW her mother was horrible.

[aggiegaribyan]

Dimply saddening story. Poor Maria you deserved so much better. Thank you so very much for an amazing detailed documentary. 👏🙏

Maria had an incredible oratory talent, yet she had to battle to get to the top of her profession. She endured many problems and difficulties not of her making from an early age, and Maria's mother's treatment of her daughter when Maria was young, strongly influenced her thoughts and behaviour as an adult.

Enduring themes around a woman being used by men, husband(s) included, accused of cooperating with the Nazis, and those sorts of things are evident in Maria's case. Through hard determination she lost a huge amount of weight, was practical and realistic when her voice got a little past her best, and up to then nobody else in the mid-20th century was her equal. The queen of aria.

There is a lot more I could write but I would just say her story resonates with me. And she "endured the price of greatness".

Maria Callas was a 🏆 champion.

[lolachlih]
