Maria Callas, one of the most talented opera singers of her time, seemed to have it all. Coming from humble origins, she always felt slighted by her mother's preference for her sister. She grew up in an unhappy environment, until her career in the operatic world took off. Aristotles Onassis also came from a poor Greek family. His ambition took him places where others dare not go and became a shipping magnate whose great wealth bought his entry into an international society he didn't ever dreamed of entering.
These two powerful personalities were so much alike that their own passion served to destroy them. Ari, the ambitious man, was insatiable as far as the pleasures he found in women. Maria, on the other hand was so much in love that it's easy to see what Ari's betrayal did to her. The biggest offence was Onassis' courting Jacqueline Kennedy, who was instrumental in getting his foot in doing business in America. Her glamorous looks proved too much to resists when he proposed. Maria who had given up her career and suffered the loss of her voice, was the one that suffered the most.
This ambitious film made for television in a co-production of Italy and Switzerland follows the story of the two lovers faithfully. Giorgio Capitani directed this mini-series that puts the action in the places where the principals lived. The end result is a glossy look at that world of the ultra rich and famous done with great style.
