Maria Callas: Sacred MonsterStelios Galatopoulos first met Maria Callas as a fan, at a performance of La Giocononda in 1947. Aged 24, she was still a large woman, hiding the gaunt dramatic figure she was to become. Galatopoulos was there at her debut at Covent Garden in 1952, and by 1957 had become a friend. |
