About this product

Product Information

This fictionalized biopic chronicles the final years of opera meta-diva Maria Callas (Fanny Ardant), filling in the blank spots with a "what if" scenario. It's the late 1970s and Callas, once the greatest singer in opera, has lost her voice, been thrown over by Aristotle Onassis in favor of Jackie Kennedy, and now stomps around her apartment in a haze of pills and regret. But just when it seems all hope is lost, her former manager Larry (Jeremy Irons) hits on the plan to do an opera film of CARMEN, with Callas lip-synching her younger voice in the lead, thus preserving her stage presence for future generations. The trouble is that once Callas gets back in the limelight, her over-the-top artistic temperament threatens to destroy the entire project. What's more, Larry's gay lover (Jay Rodan) is throwing tantrums of his own. Fanny Ardant is incredible as the tortured, egotistical diva and Joan Plowright lends some welcome warmth and wit as the British reporter who sets the plot in motion. As with many a Zeffirelli film, the cast is packed with beautiful people and the photography is elegant. The passages from CARMEN are a real highlight, with Callas's actual recordings used on the soundtrack. An opera director as well as a film director, Zeffirelli was friends with Callas for over 20 years and once tried to talk her into just such a project, so this is obviously a true labor of love.

    The price was perfectly reasonable for the product, and the book arrived promptly and in great condition—like new, as described: the slightest bit of noticeable use and that was it. The seller wrapped it in literally 6 layers of protection (cardboard, bubble wrap, waterproof, etc.), which seemed like overkill but was much appreciated. My wife was so impressed that she demanded I leave a positive review immediately—and she was right. I’d be happy to do business with this seller again.

    The seller shipped the book quickly, tracked for added security and it arrived on time. Around 3 weeks which isn't bad at all. The book was exactly as advertised by the seller. I had no problem comunicating with the seller, he answered all my questions. He also packed the book very well so it wouldn't get damaged during shipping. It arrived as good as new. I'm very satisfied, the seller showed a very customer friendly /professional attitude. Hence my 5/5 positive feedback to him.

  • Overlooked gem about legendary opera diva

    An entertaining, nicely acted, fictionalized account of the final months of opera legend Maria Callas's life, directed by Franco Zeffirelli. Her former manager (Jeremy Irons) persuades Callas (Fanny Ardant) to come out of retirement and film one of her classic roles. Since her famous voice is now shot, the film will utilize one of her earlier recordings of the opera, and she will lip-sync on screen. Much more enjoyable than the recent "Maria" biopic with Angelina Jolie. And surprisingly, "Forever Callas" received only a very limited US release.
