OPERA TALK: A TALE OF TWO DIVAS- CALLAS VS. TEBALDI
DESCRIPTION FEATURING TANISHA’S PICKS
Maria Callas (1923-1977) was known for her superb dramatic interpretation, while Renata Tebaldi (1922-2004) was known for her lush beautiful tone. During the 1950s, a rivalry between the two opera divas supposedly began when Tebaldi took two encores at their first duo recital in Brazil. We will examine and compare two great artists who transformed the operatic stage.
