We know that Maria Callas literally brought opera back to life.This film sets out to do the same with Maria Callas' art and life.It is a resurrection of the diva which brings back to life the periodof the great Callas: The one at La Scala in the 1950s for whichno footage remains. The original dresses still exist. They providea real evocation and are the product of patient work conductedtogether with la Scala: photos (Erio Piccagliani), sketches of sets,the opera itself and the stage everything is brought togetherto conjure up the great Callas. In this film, Anna Bolena, La Sonnambula,and Don Carlos operas of which no footage remainswill come back to life for the first time. It is a resurrection of herlife and its meaning, as each document blends into a single story.For example, the archive footage of Maria Callas, jostled by thecrowd, on the red carpet at the 1960 Cannes Festival, with flashbulbs popping on all sides. It shows a woman who, 5 weeks earlier,had just buried her son. A baby she gave birth to in absolutesecrecy and who died 8 hours after being born. The star who looked triumphant at Cannes would never again be a mother. Herglory conceals the dazzling death of happiness. Richer and more poignant than fiction, this true story is the film about MariaCallas that everyone has been waiting for. Many of the scenes from her life, the photos, and amateur movies are being shownfor the first time ever!
