      The Price Of Fame
      Believe me - You don't have to be a die-hard opera fan in order to appreciate this engaging celebrity bio-documentary about famed soprano singer, Maria Callas (1923-1977).

      Born in Manhattan, NY, USA - Maria Callas (who had an incredibly wide vocal range and impeccable vibrato control) is unanimously regarded as being one of the most influential and renowned female opera singers of the entire 20th century.

      Through stills, archival footage, and interviews - This 2-hour presentation looks at the highs, as well as the lows, of the life and times of Maria Callas.
