Event Details

The documentary seeks to shed light on the years in which Maria Callas came of age as a woman and as an artist that is, in Athens during the Second World War but also on the years after 1957, when the diva, by then renowned internationally, reconnected with Greece. Her foremost artistic achievements and little-known debuts, the figures who so influenced her, and the major landmarks in her development as an artist, but also the prevailing social and political circumstances in Greece during World War II, the Greek Civil War milieu of the 1940s and 50s, and the unjust attacks she endured; these are the key narrative threads used to tell the story of the troubled, novel-like life of Callas, who always walked the line between tragedy and triumph.
