Our Maria...

"Maria by Callas" is a Documentary about the life and work of the very famous Greek-American opera singer Maria Callas. The life of Maria Callas is presented from her early years until her death. There are also many people are talking about Maria Callas and her contribution in opera.

I liked this documentary very much because it is presented very well the life of Maria Callas, her early years, her marriage with Giovanni Battista Meneghini and her divorce, her relationship with Aristotle Onassis and of course her carrier in singing and her love for the opera. I strongly recommend everyone to watch this documentary because even if you believe that you know everything about the life of Maria Callas you will still learn more about her.
