Years after her death Maria Callas remains one of the most renowned and compelling of all divas. Although much has been written about Callas the prima donna, the consummate stage magician, and the tragic lover of Aristotle Onassis, this is the first account of Maria the woman by someone who was close to her. Stancioff, a longtime friend, shares memories of the Maria who gave impromptu concerts of Beatles hits and Mexican ballads; of the Maria who starved herself to conform to the image of a celebrity but would go into rhapsodies about a plate of pasta. And to her own warm reminiscences, Stancioff adds the insights of Maria's friends, colleagues, and family. The figure that emerges is intriguing, infuriating, mystifying -- and endlessly fascinating.

Qui est Maria Kalogeropoulos ? Une enfant prodige, malmenée entre une mère autoritaire, avec qui elle aura toujours des rapports houleux, et un père volage. C'est aussi une jeune fille solitaire, obèse et timide lorsqu'elle monte sur scène à ses débuts. Mais, de l'avis de tous, sa voix a un sens dramatique inné, une musicalité et une individualité qui procurent une émotion intense. Son ambition, sa capacité énorme de travail, de belles rencontres professionnelles et sa métamorphose physique feront le reste. Devenue Maria Callas, diva célébrée dans le monde entier, ses relations avec Visconti et Onassis seront livrées en pâture aux médias. Anne Edwards, par ses recherches minutieuses, retrace la vie intime de la Callas, une vie faite de succès, de passions et de drames...
