| About Maria Callas |
| In his foreword dated February 28, 1991, to John Ardoin's The Callas Legacy: The Complete Guide to Her Recordings on Compact Disc, Terrence McNally wrote: "Without her recordings, I wonder if Maria Callas would exist as forcefully in our hearts and imaginations as she does today. Indeed, some twenty-five years after her last stage performance in 1965, and almost fifteen years after her death in 1977, Callas remains more vivid than most sopranos singing today." |
