Many critics praised her <a href="/wiki/Bel_canto" title="Bel canto">bel canto</a> technique, wide-ranging voice and dramatic interpretations. Her repertoire ranged from classical <a href="/wiki/Opera_seria" title="Opera seria">opera seria</a> to the bel canto operas of <a href="/wiki/Donizetti" class="mw-redirect" title="Donizetti">Donizetti</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vincenzo_Bellini" title="Vincenzo Bellini">Bellini</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Rossini" class="mw-redirect" title="Rossini">Rossini</a>, and further to the works of <a href="/wiki/Verdi" class="mw-redirect" title="Verdi">Verdi</a> and <a href="/wiki/Puccini" class="mw-redirect" title="Puccini">Puccini</a>, and in her early career to the music dramas of <a href="/wiki/Wagner" class="mw-redirect" title="Wagner">Wagner</a>. Her musical and dramatic talents led to her being hailed as La Divina ("The Divine One"). Born in Manhattan and raised in Astoria, Queens, New York City, to Greek immigrant parents, she was raised by an overbearing mother who had wanted a son. Maria received her musical education in Greece at age 13 and later established her career in Italy. Forced to deal with the exigencies of 1940s wartime poverty and with near-sightedness that left her nearly blind on stage, she endured struggles and scandal over the course of her career. She underwent a mid-career weight loss, which might have contributed to her vocal decline and the premature end of her career. The press exulted in publicizing Callas's temperamental behavior, the alleged Callas-<a href="/wiki/Renata_Tebaldi" title="Renata Tebaldi">Tebaldi</a> rivalry, and her love affair with Greek shipping tycoon <a href="/wiki/Aristotle_Onassis" title="Aristotle Onassis">Aristotle Onassis</a>.

Litsa had ignored his warning but soon realized that her father was right.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPetsalis-Diomidis200127–30-11">[9]</a> The situation was aggravated by George's philandering and was improved neither by the birth of their daughter Yakinthi (later called "Jackie"), in 1917, nor the birth of their son Vassilis, in 1920.

In public, Callas recalls the strained relationship with Litsa on her unhappy childhood spent singing and working at her mother's insistence, saying, <blockquote>My sister was slim and beautiful and friendly, and my mother always preferred her. I was the ugly duckling, fat and clumsy and unpopular. It is a cruel thing to make a child feel ugly and unwanted ... I'll never forgive her for taking my childhood away.

As a young girl—thirteen years old—I was immediately thrown into her arms, meaning that I learned the secrets, the ways of this bel canto, which of course as you well know, is not just beautiful singing. It is a very hard training; it is a sort of a strait-jacket that you're supposed to put on, whether you like it or not. You have to learn to read, to write, to form your sentences, how far you can go, fall, hurt yourself, put yourself back on your feet continuously. De Hidalgo had one method, which was the real bel canto way, where no matter how heavy a voice, it should always be kept light, it should always be worked on in a flexible way, never to weigh it down. It is a method of keeping the voice light and flexible and pushing the instrument into a certain zone where it might not be too large in sound, but penetrating. And teaching the scales, trills, all the bel canto embellishments, which is a whole vast language of its own.<a href="#cite_note-harewoodparis-28">[26]</a></blockquote> De Hidalgo later recalled Callas as "a phenomenon ...

Yet listen to her entrance in this performance and one encounters a rich, spinning sound, ravishing by any standard, capable of delicate dynamic nuance.

Regarding this versatility, Serafin said, "This woman can sing anything written for the female voice".<a href="#cite_note-stassinopoulos-15">[13]</a> Michael Scott argues that Callas's voice was a natural high <a href="/wiki/Soprano" title="Soprano">soprano</a>,<a href="#cite_note-scott-23">[21]</a> and going by evidence of Callas's early recordings <a href="/wiki/Rosa_Ponselle" title="Rosa Ponselle">Rosa Ponselle</a> likewise felt that "At that stage of its development, her voice was a pure but sizable <a href="/wiki/Dramatic_coloratura" class="mw-redirect" title="Dramatic coloratura">dramatic coloratura</a>—that is to say, a sizable coloratura voice with dramatic capabilities, not the other way around."<a href="#cite_note-54">[52]</a> On the other hand, music critic <a href="/wiki/John_Ardoin" title="John Ardoin">John Ardoin</a> has argued that Callas was the reincarnation of the 19th-century <a href="/wiki/Soprano_sfogato" title="Soprano sfogato">soprano sfogato</a> or "unlimited soprano", a throwback to <a href="/wiki/Maria_Malibran" title="Maria Malibran">Maria Malibran</a> and <a href="/wiki/Giuditta_Pasta" title="Giuditta Pasta">Giuditta Pasta</a>, for whom many of the famous bel canto operas were written. He avers that like Pasta and Malibran, Callas was a natural mezzo-soprano whose range was extended through training and willpower, resulting in a voice which "lacked the homogeneous color and evenness of scale once so prized in singing. There were unruly sections of their voices never fully under control. Many who heard Pasta, for example, remarked that her uppermost notes seemed produced by <a href="/wiki/Ventriloquism" title="Ventriloquism">ventriloquism</a>, a charge which would later be made against Callas".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEArdoin19745-55">[53]</a> Ardoin points to the writings of <a href="/wiki/Henry_Chorley" title="Henry Chorley">Henry Chorley</a> about Pasta which bear an uncanny resemblance to descriptions of Callas: <blockquote>There was a portion of the scale which differed from the rest in quality and remained to the last 'under a veil.' ... out of these uncouth materials she had to compose her instrument and then to give it flexibility. Her studies to acquire execution must have been tremendous; but the volubility and brilliancy, when acquired, gained a character of their own ... There were a breadth, an expressiveness in her roulades, an evenness and solidity in her <a href="/wiki/Trill_(music)" title="Trill (music)">shake</a>, which imparted to every passage a significance totally beyond the reach of lighter and more spontaneous singers ...

In 1957, she described her early voice: "The timbre was dark, almost black—when I think of it, I think of thick molasses", and in 1968 she added, "They say I was not a true soprano, I was rather toward a mezzo".&#91;[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(September_2018)">page&nbsp;needed]]&#93;_27-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPetsalis-Diomidis2001[[Category:Wikipedia_articles_needing_page_number_citations_from_September_2018]]<sup_class="noprint_Inline-Template_"_style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(September_2018)">page&nbsp;needed]]&#93;-27">[25]</a> Regarding her ability to sing the heaviest as well as the lightest roles, she told James Fleetwood, <blockquote>It's study; it's Nature.

Her <a href="/wiki/Chromatic" class="mw-redirect" title="Chromatic">chromatic</a> runs, particularly downwards, were beautifully smooth and <a href="/wiki/Staccato" title="Staccato">staccatos</a> almost unfailingly accurate, even in the trickiest intervals. There is hardly a bar in the whole range of nineteenth-century music for high soprano that seriously tested her powers."<a href="#cite_note-schwarzkopf-49">[47]</a> And as she demonstrated in the finale of La sonnambula on the commercial EMI set and the live recording from Cologne, she was able to execute a <a href="/wiki/Dynamics_(music)#Gradual_changes" title="Dynamics (music)">diminuendo</a> on the stratospheric high E-flat, which <a href="/wiki/Michael_Scott_(artistic_director)" class="mw-redirect" title="Michael Scott (artistic director)">Scott</a> describes as "a feat unrivaled in the history of the gramophone."<a href="#cite_note-scott-23">[21]</a> Regarding Callas's soft singing, Celletti says, "In these soft passages, Callas seemed to use another voice altogether, because it acquired a great sweetness. Whether in her florid singing or in her canto spianato, that is, in long held notes without ornamentation, her <a href="/wiki/Mezza_voce" class="mw-redirect" title="Mezza voce">mezza voce</a> could achieve such moving sweetness that the sound seemed to come from on high ... I don't know, it seemed to come from the skylight of La Scala."<a href="#cite_note-debate-50">[48]</a> This combination of size, weight, range and agility was a source of amazement to Callas's own contemporaries. One of the choristers present at her La Scala debut in I vespri siciliani recalled, "My God! She came on stage sounding like our deepest contralto, <a href="/wiki/Cloe_Elmo" title="Cloe Elmo">Cloe Elmo</a>. And before the evening was over, she took a high E-flat.

I can still remember the effect of that note in the opera house—it was like a star!"<a href="#cite_note-60">[58]</a> For Italian soprano Renata Tebaldi, "the most fantastic thing was the possibility for her to sing the soprano coloratura with this big voice! This was something really special. Fantastic absolutely!"<a href="#cite_note-documentary-30">[28]</a> Callas's vocal registers, however, were not seamlessly joined; Walter Legge writes, "Unfortunately, it was only in quick music, particularly descending scales, that she completely mastered the art of joining the three almost incompatible voices into one unified whole, but until about 1960, she disguised those audible gear changes with cunning skill."<a href="#cite_note-schwarzkopf-49">[47]</a> Rodolfo Celletti states, <blockquote>In certain areas of her range her voice also possessed a guttural quality. This would occur in the most delicate and troublesome areas of a soprano's voice—for instance where the lower and middle registers merge, between G and A. I would go so far as to say that here her voice had such resonances as to make one think at times of a ventriloquist ... or else the voice could sound as though it were resonating in a rubber tube. There was another troublesome spot ... between the middle and upper registers. Here, too, around the treble F and G, there was often something in the sound itself which was not quite right, as though the voice were not functioning properly.<a href="#cite_note-debate-50">[48]</a></blockquote> As to whether these troublesome spots were due to the nature of the voice or to technical deficiencies, Celletti says: "Even if, when passing from one register to another, Callas produced an unpleasant sound, the technique she used for these transitions was perfect."<a href="#cite_note-debate-50">[48]</a> Musicologist and critic <a href="/w/index.php?title=Fedele_D%27Amico&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Fedele D'Amico (page does not exist)">Fedele D'Amico</a> [<a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedele_D%27Amico" class="extiw" title="it:Fedele D'Amico">it</a>] adds, "Callas' 'faults' were in the voice and not in the singer; they are so to speak, faults of departure but not of arrival. This is precisely Celletti's distinction between the natural quality of the voice and the technique."<a href="#cite_note-debate-50">[48]</a> In 2005, <a href="/wiki/Ewa_Podle%C5%9B" title="Ewa Podleś">Ewa Podleś</a> said of Callas, "Maybe she had three voices, maybe she had three ranges, I don't know—I am a professional singer.

Certainly no one could in honesty deny the harsh or "squashed" sounds, nor the wobble on the very high notes. These and others were precisely the accusations made at the time against Pasta and Malibran, two geniuses of song (as they were then called), sublime, yet imperfect.

It flowed also from irreproachable musicianship. People say that Callas would not hesitate to distort a vocal line for dramatic effect.

Although the singers agreed that neither would perform encores, Tebaldi took two, and Callas was reportedly incensed.<a href="#cite_note-72">[70]</a> This incident began the rivalry, which reached a fever pitch in the mid-1950s, at times even engulfing the two women themselves, who were said by their more fanatical followers to have engaged in verbal barbs in each other's direction. Tebaldi was quoted as saying, "I have one thing that Callas doesn't have: a heart",<a href="#cite_note-stassinopoulos-15">[13]</a> and Callas was quoted in Time magazine as saying that comparing her with Tebaldi was like "comparing Champagne with <a href="/wiki/Cognac" title="Cognac">Cognac</a> ...

During an interview with Norman Ross Jr. in Chicago, Callas said, "I admire Tebaldi's tone; it's beautiful—also some beautiful phrasing. Sometimes, I actually wish I had her voice." Francis Robinson of the Met wrote of an incident in which Tebaldi asked him to recommend a recording of La Gioconda in order to help her learn the role. Being fully aware of the alleged rivalry, he recommended <a href="/wiki/Zinka_Milanov" title="Zinka Milanov">Zinka Milanov</a>'s version. A few days later, he went to visit Tebaldi, only to find her sitting by the speakers, listening intently to Callas's recording.

In 1978, Tebaldi spoke warmly of her late colleague and summarized this rivalry: <blockquote>This rivality [<a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a>] was really building from the people of the newspapers and the fans.

The breath escapes, but it is no longer the power behind the tone, or is only partially and intermittently.

I think she tried very hard to recreate the sort of "fatness" of the sound which she had when she was as fat as she was. But when she lost the weight, she couldn't seem to sustain the great sound that she had made, and the body seemed to be too frail to support that sound that she was making. Oh, but it was oh so exciting. It was thrilling. I don't think that anyone who heard Callas after 1955 really heard the Callas voice.<a href="#cite_note-77">[75]</a></blockquote> Michael Scott has proposed that Callas's loss of strength and breath support was directly caused by her rapid and progressive weight loss,<a href="#cite_note-scott-23">[21]</a> something that was noted even in her prime.

I really think it was her weight loss that was so dramatic and so quick. It's not the weight loss per se—you know, <a href="/wiki/Deborah_Voigt" title="Deborah Voigt">Deborah Voigt</a> has lost a lot of weight and still sounds glorious. But if one uses the weight for support, and then it's suddenly gone and one doesn't develop another musculature for support, it can be very hard on the voice. And you can't estimate the toll that emotional turmoil will take as well. I was told, by somebody who knew her well, that the way Callas held her arms to her solar plexus [allowed her] to push and create some kind of support. If she were a <a href="/wiki/Soubrette" title="Soubrette">Soubrette</a>, it would never have been an issue. But she was singing the most difficult repertoire, the stuff that requires the most stamina, the most strength.<a href="#cite_note-whitson-61">[59]</a></blockquote> However, writing about <a href="/wiki/Voice_type" title="Voice type">dramatic soprano</a> Deborah Voigt in 2006 shortly after her 135-pound (60 kg) weight loss after <a href="/wiki/Gastric_bypass_surgery" title="Gastric bypass surgery">gastric bypass surgery</a>, music critic <a href="/wiki/Peter_G._Davis" title="Peter G. Davis">Peter G. Davis</a> brings up comparisons with Callas and notes an increasing acidity and thinning in Voigt's voice that recall the changes in Callas's voice after her weight loss: <blockquote>A change has also come over Voigt's voice lately, though it's hard to tell if it's from weight loss or normal aging—controversy still rages over whether Maria Callas' drastic diets contributed to her rapid vocal decline. Not that Voigt as yet exhibits any of Callas' technical problems: Her voice continues to be reliably supported and under control. What is noticeable, however—earlier this season in Verdi's La Forza del Destino and now in Tosca—is a marked thinning of quality at the very center of the instrument, together with a slight acidity and tightening of the tone that has definitely taken the youthful bloom off, especially at the top.<a href="#cite_note-79">[77]</a></blockquote> Voigt explained how her dramatic weight loss affected her breathing and breath support: <blockquote>Much of what I did with my weight was very natural, vocally. Now I've got a different body—there's not as much of me around. My diaphragm function, the way my throat feels, is not compromised in any way. But I do have to think about it more now. I have to remind myself to keep my ribs open. I have to remind myself, if my breath starts to stack. When I took a breath before, the weight would kick in and give it that extra whhoomf! Now it doesn't do that. If I don't remember to get rid of the old air and re-engage the muscles, the breath starts stacking, and that's when you can't get your phrase, you crack high notes.<a href="#cite_note-singer-80">[78]</a></blockquote> Callas attributed her problems to a loss of confidence brought about by a loss of breath support, even though she does not make the connection between her weight and her breath support. In an April 1977 interview with journalist <a href="/w/index.php?title=Philippe_Caloni&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Philippe Caloni (page does not exist)">Philippe Caloni</a> [<a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Caloni" class="extiw" title="fr:Philippe Caloni">fr</a>], she stated, <blockquote>My best recordings were made when I was skinny, and I say skinny, not slim, because I worked a lot and couldn't gain weight back; I became even too skinny ... I had my greatest successes – Lucia, Sonnambula, Medea, Anna Bolena – when I was skinny as a nail. Even for my first time here in Paris in 1958 when the show was broadcast through Eurovision, I was skinny. Really skinny."<a href="#cite_note-81">[79]</a></blockquote> And shortly before her death, Callas confided her own thoughts on her vocal problems to Peter Dragadze: <blockquote>I never lost my voice, but I lost strength in my diaphragm. ... Because of those organic complaints, I lost my courage and boldness. My vocal cords were and still are in excellent condition, but my 'sound boxes' have not been working well even though I have been to all the doctors. The result was that I overstrained my voice, and that caused it to wobble.

Whatever the cause may have been, her singing career was effectively over by age 40, and even at the time of her death at age 53, according to Walter Legge, "she ought still to have been singing magnificently".<a href="#cite_note-schwarzkopf-49">[47]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fussi_and_Paolillo_report">Fussi and Paolillo report</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Maria_Callas&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Fussi and Paolillo report">edit</a>]</div> A 2010 study by Italian vocal researchers Franco Fussi and Nico Paolillo revealed Callas was very ill at the time of her death and her illness was related to her vocal deterioration. According to their findings, presented at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Bologna" title="University of Bologna">University of Bologna</a> in 2010, Callas had <a href="/wiki/Dermatomyositis" title="Dermatomyositis">dermatomyositis</a>, a rare, connective tissue disease that causes a failure of the muscles and ligaments, including the larynx. They believe she was showing signs of this disease as early as the 1960s. Fussi and Paolillo cite an initial report by physician Mario Giacovazzo, who in 2002 revealed he had diagnosed Callas with dermatomyositis in 1975. Treatment included corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents, which affect heart function.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] At an event hosted by the journal Il Saggiatore Musicale, Fussi and Paolillo presented documentation showing when and how her voice changed over time. Using modern audio technology, they analyzed live Callas studio recordings from the 1950s through the 1970s, looking for signs of deterioration. Spectrographic analysis showed that she was losing the top half of her range. Fussi observed video recordings in which Callas's posture seemed strained and weakened. He felt that her drastic weight loss in 1954 further contributed to reduced physical support of her voice.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Fussi and Paolillo also examined restored footage of the infamous 1958 Norma "walkout" in Rome, which led to harsh criticism of Callas as a temperamental superstar. By applying spectrographic analysis to that footage, the researchers observed her voice was tired and she lacked control and that she had bronchitis and tracheitis as she claimed, and that the dermatomyositis was already causing her muscles to deteriorate.<a href="#cite_note-82">[80]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Scandals_and_later_career">Scandals and later career</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Maria_Callas&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Scandals and later career">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><table class="infobox" style="clear: right; float:right;margin:0 0 1.5em 1.5em"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-above" style="font-size:115%">External image</th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-full-data" style="text-align: left"><img alt="image icon" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/61/Searchtool.svg/16px-Searchtool.svg.png" decoding="async" width="16" height="16" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/61/Searchtool.svg/24px-Searchtool.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/61/Searchtool.svg/32px-Searchtool.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="512" /> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://ancient-serpent.tumblr.com/image/35982555505">Callas yelling at US Marshal after Butterfly, Chicago 1955</a></td></tr></tbody></table> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Een_portret_van_de_zangeres,_Bestanddeelnr_926-8776.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Een_portret_van_de_zangeres%2C_Bestanddeelnr_926-8776.jpg/220px-Een_portret_van_de_zangeres%2C_Bestanddeelnr_926-8776.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="332" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Een_portret_van_de_zangeres%2C_Bestanddeelnr_926-8776.jpg/330px-Een_portret_van_de_zangeres%2C_Bestanddeelnr_926-8776.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Een_portret_van_de_zangeres%2C_Bestanddeelnr_926-8776.jpg/440px-Een_portret_van_de_zangeres%2C_Bestanddeelnr_926-8776.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2426" data-file-height="3665" /></a><figcaption>Callas in 1973</figcaption></figure> The latter half of Callas's career was marked by a number of scandals.

Despite this, La Scala announced a fifth performance, with Callas billed as Amina. Callas refused to stay and went on to Venice.

Later in 1958, Callas and Rudolf Bing were in discussion about her season at the Met. She was scheduled to perform in Verdi's La traviata and in Macbeth, two very different operas which almost require totally different singers. Callas and the Met could not reach an agreement, and before the opening of Medea in Dallas, Bing sent a telegram to Callas terminating her contract. Headlines of "Bing Fires Callas" appeared in newspapers around the world.<a href="#cite_note-stassinopoulos-15">[13]</a> Nicola Rescigno later recalled, "That night, she came to the theater, looking like an empress: she wore an ermine thing that draped to the floor, and she had every piece of jewellery she ever owned.

The production was grueling, and according to the account in Ardoin's Callas, the Art and the Life, Callas is said to have fainted after a day of strenuous running back and forth on a mudflat in the sun. The film was not a commercial success, but as Callas's only film appearance, it documents something of her stage presence. From October 1971 to March 1972, Callas gave a series of master classes at the <a href="/wiki/Juilliard_School" title="Juilliard School">Juilliard School</a> in New York.

She was a lonely, unhappy, often difficult woman", music critic and Callas's friend John Ardoin replied:<blockquote>That's such a difficult question. There are times, you know, when there are people – certain people who are blessed, and cursed, with an extraordinary gift, in which the gift is almost greater than the human being. And Callas was one of these people. It was almost as if her wishes, her life, her own happiness were all subservient to this incredible, incredible gift that she was given, this gift that reached out and taught us all – taught us things about music we knew very well, but showed us new things, things we never thought about, new possibilities. I think that's why singers admire her so; I think that's why conductors admire her so; I know that's why I admire her so. And she paid a tremendously difficult and expensive price for this career. I don't think she always understood what she did or why she did. She knew she had a tremendous effect on audiences and on people. But it was not something that she could always live with gracefully or happily. I once said to her, "It must be very enviable to be Maria Callas." And she said, "No, it's a very terrible thing to be Maria Callas, because it's a question of trying to understand something you can never really understand."
