Cecilia Sofia Anna Maria Kalogeropoulou (1923 – 1977) was born in New York City of Greek immigrant parents. As Maria Callas, she would become the most famous opera singer of her time and one of the most influential of all time. Perhaps one of the greatest sopranos of the 20th .Those of us who never heard her live must rely on the stories and on the incomparable recordings and rare videos.
