Maria Callas in Paris | Trailer
Maria Callas made her debut in Paris in 1958. Against the magnificent backdrop of the Paris Opera (now the Palais Garnier), she shone with arias from Vincenzo Bellini's Norma, Giuseppe Verdi's Il trovatore and Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville. A spectacular performance in the city that became her home until her death in 1977.
