Title: La Divina:
1La Divina
Maria Callas
The woman who took Opera to a new level and
Brought it back to life.
By Alonzo Jordan
2One of the things that made this woman so special
was that she dedicated Her life to opera
completely. With strenuous practice and
diligence, she Landed very advanced roles in
operas at a very young age. Much more Than that,
was the energy and emotion she poured into each
role. It was As if she were living the life of
the heroines. Maria Callas was fiery on stage,
this made the whole opera come to
life.
3There was one instance when a fellow soprano Told
Maria Callas that the way she did her Role was
done to perfection and she would never do the
role again because she was put to shame.
Callas could Definitely act A rarity
amongst Opera singers-still Today!
4A very special quality Callas had was To
manipulate the tone of her voice To sound light
and sweet or dark and Rich and this Was
according to the Role she was doing. Whether she
was a Princess, or an evil queen, or a warrior.
5What Callas brought back to Opera was the
devotion, letting Music come first before the
voice. She let music envelop her. Now People all
over the world in The opera world People
recognize her As a woman that brought the Art to
opera. Because opera is movement, Acting and
Singing.
