Maria Callas
The Woman Behind the Legend
A portrait of the greatest opera diva of the century, tracing the soprano's rise, her love affair with Onassis, and the loneliness behind the fame.
Published under her maiden name, Arianna Stassinopoulos, this was Huffington’s breakout biography. It follows Maria Callas from an awkward, unloved childhood to her reign as the most electrifying soprano of her era, and then into the doomed affair with Aristotle Onassis that shadowed her final years. Stassinopoulos writes with real feeling for the loneliness beneath the glamour, drawing a diva whose voice could move thousands while her private life quietly came apart.
