CALLAS FOREVER

Details

• Release Year: 2002
• Genre: Drama, Musical
• Plot: Internationally acclaimed director Franco Zeffirelli (Romeo and Juliet, Tea with Mussolini) beautifully recreates the magic, passion and artistry of the opera diva Maria Callas, known as 'the voice of the century.' In this loving tribute to his longtime friend, Zeffirelli imagines what could have happened at the end of Callas' life close to her death at the age of 53. Popular French actress Fanny Ardant perfectly fits the role of the temperamental diva, capturing all the fiery intensity of the legend on and off the stage. Oscar(R)-winner Jeremy Irons shines as the diva's former manager who persuades her to re-launch her career, despite her fading powers. A unique, rare gem of a film featuring actual sound recordings of Callas in performance, Callas Forever makes a lasting impact as a stunning human portrayal of one of the greatest artists of our time.
