About
Maria Callas is an iconic figure in the world of opera and she continues to be acclaimed as one of the greatest interpreters of the music of Puccini in living memory.
All of Puccini’s well known operas are represented here, including Manon Lescaut, La bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly and Turandot and the less frequently performed Il trittico (Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi).
The programme covers all of Puccini’s main soprano arias as well as the principal love duets, in which Callas is joined by her regular partner on records Giuseppe di Stefano in several items as well as by Nicolai Gedda in Madama Butterfly and Eugenio Fernandi in Turandot.
