    Summary note
    "Maria Callas sang on the stage of La Scala for thirteen years. She debuted in 1950 with Verdi's 'Aida'. Her farewell came in 1962 with Cherubini's 'Medea'. In that brief dazzling time the Greek singer forever changed her image and her rapport with the public. No longer a barely credible nightingale, the artist became an actress, a refined narrator, choralist and her own director: her stage movements, her sculpted poses, her infinite range of expressions and gestures were the cornerstones of legendary performances, above all 'La Traviata' directed by Luchino Visconti in 1955. Now, thirty years after her death, the Teatro alla Scala celebrates this most loved and talked about diva, a peerless artist who became the icon of modernity."--Page 4 of cover.
