This week, Sadie introduces us to Maria Callas, resilient and immensely gifted, who shattered barriers and redefined what it meant to be an opera star. Her turbulent journey, from a challenging childhood to unfair attacks by the press, vocal struggles, and a diverse range of talents, only served to fuel her determination and leave a permanent legacy. We discuss her childhood, her rise to fame, the moments when she shined the brightest, and the press backlash for her independence. When you have a divine voice, life must not be as easy as you’d hope.
