Movie Reviews

Informative DVD
Justin T. Anderson | United States | 06/08/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The previous reviewer may not realize that this documentary was originally produced in the late 70s for television, after Callas' death. The footage quality is what one would expect from something of that time and no amount of DVD remastering could fix it. The DVD has a wealth of information about Callas. The interviews are particularly fascinating and insightful."
The First Lady Soprano
BornToSleep | Switzerland | 05/22/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This documentary is to remember a great soprano.When you talk about Maria Callas,it's like talking about a costliest gemstone,a jewel.Maria Callas is widely known throughout the World. The best singing actress ever remembered!!!powerful voice,full of vibrations and passions at the same time.Unique and beyond comparisons.Far from the voice,we must look at her also as a person,an artist,the music and a human being like all of us.This entertainment (dvd) contains interviews with some celebrities such as Monserrat Caballe and Renata Tebaldi.
Maria left behind one of the most valuable inheritances to mankind in the world story of music."
