| Commemorating the 40th anniversary of her death in Paris on 16 September 1977, Warner Classics presents Maria Callas Live, the authoritative remastered edition in a deluxe 42-CD box (also to be released as a digital download and on streaming platforms) drawing together the great soprano’s live opera recordings, with the invaluable inclusion of 12 roles she never recorded in the studio. These 20 complete operas and five filmed performances on Blu-ray have been newly remastered from the highest quality source material, with the cutting-edge technology of Studio Art et Son in Paris. OUT 15 SEPTEMBER 2017 "An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I've left the opera house." -Maria Callas | |

| Today, 5 July, marks the anniversary of Maria Callas' final appearance on the operatic stage, in Tosca at Covent Garden's 1965 Royal Gala. For many opera lovers, Maria Callas and Tosca's Vissi d'Arte are inseparable. "I lived for art; I lived for love" became La Divina's cri de coeur, her swansong, the perfect expression of her own triumphs and tragedies. This unrivaled recording is from that legendary Zeffirelli production and is just one of many jewels in the Maria Callas Live edition. | |
