“Her reputation, extremely high when she died, has become ever greater in the 30 years since her death. As a personality she remains controversial, but as an artist hardly at all: her genius is recognised as supreme by virtually all opera lovers, indeed it is often from listening to her many recordings that people discover what an incredibly potent art form opera can be.” – BBC Music Magazine

 

On September 16, 2007, the world will commemorate the 30th anniversary of the death of Maria Callas. Even after this time, she's still the definition of the diva as artist.

 

Maria Callas is not only the world's bestselling soprano but also EMI Classic's bestselling artist of all time.
