Let's take a moment to appreciate the incomparable Maria Callas in this 1958 concert at the Opéra national de Paris. Her extraordinary performance of "Casta Diva" from Bellini's Norma takes our breath away every time. La Divina is joined by Georges Sébastien and the Paris Opera Orchestra. https://bit.ly/4cqxzUN | medici.tv

Maria Callas went down in history as one of the greatest opera singers of the last century, but her life was plagued by tragedy. Her mother took away her childhood to make her a star and although everyone idolizes her for her great talent, the Greek-born singer never felt loved until she met Aristotle Onassis. The bel canto goddess wanted to start a family with the tycoon, but their romance was far from a happy ending. | Rosa
