Maria Callas
A unique evening: a salon talk
with András Batta

 

7 January 2025 18:00

Another very special programme on offer at Villa11. András Batta, director of the Hungarian House of Music, is preparing a programme exclusively for this occasion, on the "Maria Callas story".

Maria. It is enough to say this name to make those interested in the world of art immediately think of the divine Callas, almost 50 years after her death! What power, what profound and moving artistry radiates from one of the unsurpassed divas of operatic history, that her figure is still evoked in literature and film. The Callas story is eternal and human. Feminine love, feminine fate. She is like the heroine of an ancient Greek drama. The new Callas film "Maria", which is about to be released, is the topicality of our salon, but we also relive the Callas miracle with other film and documentary fragments and a cross-section of a monodrama.

- Moderator: András Batta (Director of the Hungarian House of Music)

- Performed by Erzsébet Nagyváradi, with monodrama parts
