30 years older than Mary ... That did not stop, for that matter, did not stop
and that it weighed at the time 104 pounds...
Both families, however, were against their marriage ... Family Menegini
feared that Battista, married to an opera singer, gave up the family business -
and his mother Mary was very upset by the difference in age, as well as the
fact that Menegini was not a Greek ... The wedding took place in Verona in 1949 ... None of the relatives of the bride and groom is not present ...

again. Maria Callas was the embodiment of Fame ... Onassis decided to conquer
the Maria Callas...
The yacht "Christina" is a tale of the "Thousand and One
Nights." It was like a floating palace in the five floors. Splendour of
the situation, works of art, filled with fire halls, music, flowing over the
surface of the sea.. And next to the
Onassis - Maria...
August 6, "Christine" dropped anchor in the Aegean Sea, the home
of Mary and Aristotle. They blessed the patriarch, who came from Constantinople
on the occasion of the famous guests. Newsboys were on the trail, and overtook
them at a restaurant in Milan. It was the end of a quiet life with Menegini.
She said that divorces him and going to work without a manager. Aristotle was
flattered. Between husband and wife started a real war. Tina Onassis had left
with her children at home, file for divorce...

performance of the Party Lucia, Maria's voice broke ... The news was
immediately picked up the newspaper .... Spiteful remarks about the failure of

... She was ready for anything ... About anything without thinking, not
noticing anything around him, she dreamed of a wedding to Aristotle ...

place. Maria did not want to participate in the regular gatherings of
celebrities on "Christine" in which she was a perpetual subject of
curiosity and incessant gossip ... It almost was not busy in the new operas.

Aristotle is not in the hall ... Ironically, this evening the singer sang an
aria Medea ... Mary felt that she had lost his voice ... After this failure it
was destined to hear from her lover, Aristotle, the most terrible accusations:
"You - a nonentity," ... Quarrels were followed by reconciliation.
However, the end was inevitable...
Rival
- the widow of President John F. Kennedy
Mary learned that Aristotle became friends with Princess Lee Radziwill,
sister of Jacqueline Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy's sister, who was
killed in Dallas. Aristotle tried to reassure Mary. He promised to buy the
island of Skorpios, which will become an island of their love. But she does not
live and love of Aristotle on this island. Onassis offered his boat to the
services of Jackie Kennedy. Unfortunate it was necessary to grow strong, to
distract, to heal the emotional wound. Mary did not agree to participate in
this cruise. She felt superfluous and left. So Mary was in New York in a small
apartment on the Avenue George Mandela...
Callas left the scene, but starred in "Medea" by Paolo Pasolini,
studied at the Academy Dzhulyarde ... Mary was not going to give up ... She had
to learn to live without Aristotle ... October 17, 1968, Aristotle married the
widow of number 1 - Jacqueline Kennedy. Young was waiting for the island of
Skorpios...
In 1975, the American Hospital, Aristotle died, thinking of Mary ...
Two years later she left him ... And they accompanied her flowers from her
Aristotle ... Posthumous Onassis's will was executed. He was with Mary on her way
to eternity ... Her ashes scattered over the Aegean sea, the waves which ships
sailed Odyssey and Aristotle ...
The last years of his life, Maria Callas lived in Paris, practically
without leaving the apartment - where her died in 1977 ... She was cremated and buried at the Pere Lachaise cemetery ... Later,
her ashes were scattered over the Aegean Sea ...

Dieviškoji Maria Callas
Šios aktorės gyvenimui - mylimos, garbintos, neapkęstas, gerbtos ir niekintos – bei jos profesiniams įgūdžiams, niekada neliks abejingas žemiškasis
pasaulis...
Maria Callas (1923 m. gruodžio 2 - 1977 m. rugsėjo 16) –
operos atlikėja (sopranas), viena iš labiausių didžiųjų dvidešimto amžiaus dainininkų...
Entuziastingos auditorijos per jos gyvenimo trukmę ją apdovanojo pavadinimu - La Divina - Dieviškoji...
Jos gyvenimas priminė senovinę graikų tragediją, - kurioje
ji iš eilės dainavo Didvyrį, Dieviškumą, Šeimininkę ir Auką... Ji nepaliko jokių įpėdinių, ir net kapo - jos pelenai buvo išbarstyti Egėjo
jūroje... Bet pasaulis niekada neužmirš nuostabaus unikalaus Maria Callas
balso...
1970-ųjų metų Paryžius... Garsi operos dainininkė ir viena gražiausių
bei garsiausių pasaulio moterų Maria Callas
atsiduria kryžkelėje: ji jaučiasi niekam
nereikalinga, praradusi gyvenimo meilę ir unikalų talentą, kamuojama ligos,
nesuprasta nei kaip menininkė, nei kaip moteris...
Gestanti, krintanti žvaigždė, beveik nebešildoma
praėjusios sėkmės spindulių… Liūdnas paskutines gyvenimo dienas Maria Callas nutaria praleisti
Paryžiuje, - vieniša, serganti, gedinti…
Ji sugebėjo sau ir kitiems įrodyti, kad grožis
nedingsta bėgant laikui, jeigu jis švyti
iš vidaus…
