The distinguished operatic soprano discusses the nature of singing and examines her interpretations of famous arias
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Maria Callas, the great singing actress, returned to the stage in 1971 to teach master classes at Juilliard. John Ardoin's transcription, returned to print in this volume, captures the insights of a supremely self-aware artist of impeccable musicianship. In detailed commentaries on seventy-five arias, she talks and sings her way through famous passages of Norma, Violetta, Mimi, and other heroines, not as the imperious diva of her reputation but as a thoughtful artist passing on a great tradition. The intensity that she brought to her roles derived from the clear artistic insight she demonstrates here. With hundreds of music examples, Callas at Juilliard is a truly invaluable resource for every young singer and serious opera lover, and for all those who must have Callas in her own words.
John Ardoin, described by Fanfare as "the world's pre-eminent Callas listener" is the music critic of the Dallas Morning News. He is also the author of The Callas Legacy, The Complete Guide to Her Recordings on Compact Disc.
