One of the greatest coloratura opera singers of the 20th century, Maria Callas was an enormously gifted performer from an early age, her versatility allowing her to tackle a wide variety of operas, from the powerful dramas of Richard Wagner to bel canto and the classical opera seria style. Her death in 1977 enshrined her as a larger-than-life figure and one of opera's greatest interpreters, as well as one of its best-selling artists, even decades after her death.
