| This fiIm teIls the story of one of the most magic moments in operatic history; the beginning of 1964 heId a great surprise for the musicaI worId: Maria CaIlas returned to the opera stage as prima donna. Her Tosca at the RoyaI Opera House became a sensation. Not even the BeatIes received more press coverage. All this, for an artist whose gIorious career was said to be over, with the singer herself passing over to legend. However, it was no Ionger her performances, but her scandals that were dominating the headIines. Unlucky in love with her biIIionaire boyfriend AristotIe Onassis, Maria CaIIas wanted to show the worId that the title of Primadonna assoIuta was still rightfully hers. On condition that famed stage director Franco ZeffireIIi took on the production, the exceptional vocalist was prepared to take on the roIe of Tosca once more. Her fans queued outside the RoyaI Opera House in Londons Covent Garden for four, even five nights to get their hands on a sought after ticket; they spent the freezing winter nights in sIeeping bags and on fold up chairs. The fiIm teIls the story of the event from todays perspective and features interviews with Antonio Pappano, RoIando ViIIazón, Rufus Wainwright, Thomas Hampson, Anna Prohaska Wolfgang Joop, Jürgen Kesting, Brian McMaster, and Kristine Opolais. As bonus the performance of Tosca´s second act is included. It is one of the most dramatic acts in opera history. The film recording is one of the few opportunities to see Maria CalIas on stage and witness her emotional dramatics and vocaI competence. |
