Maria Callas is to be played by…
main… Marina Abramovic.
Five directors – Roman Polanski, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Marco Brambilla, Giada Colagrande and Yorgos Lanthimos – have agreed to film the performance artist as she plays Callas in seven death scenes from major operas.
Let’s not get too excited.
Excited !?? more like boring news–if you have seen her you realize what little
there was to her – she was the same in everything she did ,only the clothes changed . She was a master at playing
the great diva as the unwashed
imagined a great diva to be .She was always Callas in whatever roll she
played .
I have hardly read any more rubbish about the greatest singer ever
You could do better?
Meow.
@PREWARTREASURE: Still laughing out loud with your incisive comment. You made my day. Thank you!
Don’t be too hard on poor old Milka. It’s clear that her posts are written in a tongue-in-cheek tradition of humorous verse, and are meant only to amuse. Witness those laughable comments above on Callas.
She had an ugly voice , very faulty
technique but tremendous will to present herself as a great singer and
for the undiscerning she succeeded
in this “diva” projection .By the time she arrived at the old Met whatever voice she had was a wreck but she still managed to project the aura of
a great diva …at that business she was untouchable .
I have never heard of this Milka, but her comments about Callas are COMPLETELY uninformed. Callas will remain the most important soprano of th last century. Milka will be forgotten instantly!
I never heard of this Ombrarecds before
but do wonder how much the championing of Callas is commercial interest and how much is musical .
That Callas will be long remembered
is a given so will Florence
Foster Jenkins for that matter .
