- CALLAS FOR BEGINNERS
A most interesting discussion by George Birnbaum (which unfortunately has now disappeared, and the Wayback Machine is no help in this case)."... if you strip away all the hype and open your ears, I believe you will find Maria Callas to be the supreme exponent of drama in music since the dawn of the era of recorded sound. ... The Callas whose voice burns with Tosca's jealously finds wholly different musical characterizations for the raw sexuality of Carmen, the terrified hallucinations of Lucia, the noble willfulness of Norma, the fragile innocence of Amina, and the wilted hopes of Violetta."
- The Art of Maria Callas
"This site is dedicated to celebrating the greatest roles of Callas through sight and sound. Each page dedicated to a role contains a picture of the composer, images of Callas in the role and a sound file to illustrate her performance."
A wonderful site (it was) with lots of images of Callas and information about her performances as Lucia, Norma, Medea, Violetta and Tosca.
"Callas changed the sound of her voice for every role she sang and it ranged from black in 'Medea' to white in 'La Sonnambula', although one could never mistake her for anyone else."
- La Callas, announcing EMI's re-release of their entire catalogue of La Divina's recordings. Also has a chronology, a discography (and videography) and links.
