This fiIm teIIs the story of one of the most magic moments of music. The beginning of 1964 heId a great surprise for the music worId: Maria CaIIas returns to the opera stage as prima donna. Her Tosca at the RoyaI Opera House becomes a sensation. Not even the Beatles received more press coverage. All this, for an artist whose gIorious career was said to be over, with the singer herself passing over to Iegend. It is no longer her performances, but her scandals that are dominating the headlines. Unlucky in love with her biIlionaire boyfriend Aristotle Onassis, Maria CalIas wants to show them alI that the title of Primadonna assoIuta is stiII rightfully hers. On condition that famed stage director Franco ZeffirelIi takes on the production, the exceptionaI vocalist is prepared to take on the role of Tosca. The film teIIs the story of the event from today´s perspective and features interviews with Antonio Pappano, RoIando ViIlazon, Rufus Wainwright, Thomas Hampson, Anna Prohaska Wolfgang Joop, Jurgen Kesting, Brian McMaster, and Kristine Opolais. As a bonus the performance of Tosca´s second act is incIuded. lt is one of the most dramatic acts in opera history. The fiIm recording is one of the few opportunities to see Maria CaIIas on stage and witness her emotionaI dramatics and vocal competence. |
