Monica Bellucci talking about her show "Maria Callas: Letters and Memoirs"
Interview of Monica Bellucci by Pierre Gervois, NYC, Dec 6th, 2022.
Italian cinema icon Monica Bellucci stars in Maria Callas: Letters and Memoirs at the Beacon Theatre for one night only on Friday, January 27, 2023 at 8:00PM. Bellucci channels Greek opera legend Maria Callas in this one-woman show with text and stage direction by Tom Volf. Accompanied by the Wordless Music Orchestra, Bellucci recites Callas’s previously unpublished letters and writings to tell the opera singer’s full story in her own words.
Bellucci made her debut as Callas at Paris’ Théâtre Marigny in 2019 and has continued to perform around the world, including in Athens, Rome, Milan, and at Her Majesty Theater in London, of which The Guardian notes, “It is a thrilling pairing…the impossibly glamorous actor Monica Bellucci playing the impossibly glamorous soprano Maria Callas, a case of one diva paying homage to another.”
Callas’ Letters and Memoirs, published by Volf, is a trove of unearthed material telling the singer’s life story entirely in her own words. Bellucci interprets the writings of Callas-from her childhood in New York and her beginnings at the opera in Italy to the pinnacle of world fame, complicated by scandal, love, and personal hardship-revealing, for the first time, the true story behind the opera legend.
“This show is for me the result of seven years of work dedicated to Maria Callas. Maria’s letters represent the most intimate voice of the woman behind the legend,” said director Tom Volf. “Maria speaks directly to the audience and confides in them, revealing herself-her glory and pain-as never before. For the first time, she’s the one telling her own story, instead of others speaking on her behalf.”

Monica and Maria share very similar qualities - passion and singularity. It’s not difficult to imagine her portrayal of the Diva. Well done, Monica!

Моя песня для Моники Белуччи !!!! Канал *МАГ И Я* Песня * ХОДЯТ СЛУХИ ВО ДВОРЕ*
Nadine Sierra’s is one of this generation’s finest young sopranos and seems to light up the stage whenever she is singing. Sierra’s coloratura is effortless and her voice has a lovely fluidity. Opera Magazine Readers’ 2023 Award was presented to American soprano Nadine Sierra, in the only award of the evening voted for by the public.
No, Callas did not die of a broken heart. Please stop this misinformation.
Misinformation indeed.
😑
😅😂😂😂😂she speaks in a figurative sense, not the result of an autopsy.

@@gogigaga1677 you have little brains and imagination. think before writing nonsense .no one seriosly says that the cause of Callas's death is a broken heart.
Maria Callas died of a heart attack. To say that she died of a broken heart is overromanticizing things a bit, to say the least. But then again, this whole play is a bit of an ego boosting, pretentious thing for the ehm…people involved; “I feel she is with me?” Please…
. . . Medically broken heart can be heart attack. Plus for soprano opera singers it is very dangerous to sing very high notes if don't use correctly and she did loose weight fast to be attractive women for Onassis. Then she went back to sing after pause and she push her singing hard enough that it probably was too hard for her weak heart. She was greek. She was passionate, she was grandiose, she was genius. Naturally even today some like to take piece of her.
@@ImDJ733 👌 physical emotional stress weakens oue hearts
The point is that you cannot prove it. If you cannot prove it, you should stick to facts that you can prove. Proven fact is that she died of a heart attack. Leave the assumptions as to what possible emotions lead to the heart attack to the people who really knew her. Out of respect and common sense.@@ImDJ733@maserati-ig2zp
Evidently you haven’t been broken hearted.
@@chitonic Because I didn’t die of a heart attack? If that’s the parameter to really having your heart broken, then I guess not…Look, I am well aware that there is such a thing as takotsubo cardiomyopathy, otherwise known as broken heart syndrome. But that wasn’t my point. My point is that Bellucci makes the claim that Callas died of a broken heart. But it’s not proven. Nobody really knows that. So don’t claim things that haven’t been proven bcs it reeks of sensationalism. That’s all I’m saying.
Why are they doing the interview in English? She speaks near perfect French and he is French. This just sounds silly.
