Maria Callas

Maria Callas was one of the first internationally renowned operatic sopranos. Later in her life she was romantically linked to Aristotle Onassis.

Maria Callas debuted on the Chicago stage in Puccini's Turandot in 1946. After encouraging reviews in the states, Callas moved to Italy where her career began to take off. In 1949, she performed several operas in Venice that were in multiple languages. She wowed the crowds and soon became an international superstar. Callas went on to grace the stages of nearly all the opera houses in the world. As she grew older it became difficult for her body to support her immense vocal range. She ended her career with a final performance in 1965.
