Opera was the theme and the calling of Maria Callas’ life. Though her massive voice divided critics, her
passionate performances ignited a fever that spread
beyond the opera world.
The story of the Greek girl who had arrived in
America with $100 and an outsize talent had become
a fable; with success, her life became a popular opera
— one in which she was inevitably cast as diva. This
reputation was cemented in 1959 when she filed for
divorce to pursue a whirlwind love affair with the
equally married shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.
Callas, now 36, had dreams of marriage and a family, a
respite from the globe-trotting life of an opera singer.
Visiting Paris in February 1960, she started looking at
châteaux in the Loire Valley.
But it was not to be. Though the affair lasted another
eight years, before Onassis left her for Jacqueline
Kennedy, it brought neither stability nor family. It did,
however, signal the end of her astonishing career as a
singer. Opera buffs still debate whether it was Onassis
or long-term vocal stress, but after 1960, Maria Callas
would only sing three more roles onstage.
