Maria Callas: The Voice, the Scandals, the Triumphs (1956-1959) - a podcast by Adriaan Fuchs

By 1955, having conquered the world of opera, Callas had reached what many would argue was the apex of her career. In this, the third programme in my series on Maria Callas, I examine Callas’ career from 1955 to 1959 and dispel some of the scandals and intrigues that established her reputation as “The Tigress”. I also take an in-depth look at Callas’ unique voice and rapid vocal decline. Highlights include a “live” Anna Bolena from La Scala in 1957 and an electrifying Medea recorded in Dallas in November 1958. Presented by Adriaan Fuchs.
