Maria Callas - ”La Divina”

Remembering the great  Maria Callas - ”La Divina”, “Prima Donna Assoluta” - on her birthday (2 December 1923 - 16 September 1977). She was the greatest singing actress of the century.

”When you interpret a role, you have to have a thousand colors to portray happiness, joy, sorrow, fear. How can you do this with only a beautiful voice? Even if you sing harshly sometimes, as I have frequently done, it is a necessity of expression.”
