THE MUSEUM

The “Maria Callas“ Museum is dedicated to one of the most important lyric singers of all time, whose performances changed the course of opera forever. The first “Maria Callas“ museum invites visitors to immerse themselves in her world and her unique interpretation of some of the most iconic roles of her career.
Through texts, objects, videos and rare sound clips that “build“ an overall experience for the visitor, the thread of the life and career of Maria Callas unfolds. From her beginnings, her years in Greece, her international career and major roles, to her worldly life, her personality, the moments and people of her life, and the legacy she left behind.

The voice is not just notes and nothing else. It is colours, one paints with their voice, ... and I need all the colours to express all the feelings of the role. But I also need a lot of faith, a lot of instinct and a lot of confidence...

Maria Callas

Even for the rehearsals... she would come first and leave last... When the rehearsal was over and the team would go, she would often ask me to stay longer, so she could continue studying. ... Her celebrity image, the one in the magazines, has nothing to do with what we saw at work...

Gianandrea Gavazzeni, conductor

Callas was the most disciplined creature that ever fell into my hands. Not only did she never reduce the hours of the rehearsal, but she would ask for more and she participated from the first to the last moment with the same concentration, giving it everything, without any skimping on her voice
