The Maria Callas Live box set: Remastered Live Recordings 1949-64

Commemorating the 40th anniversary of her death in Paris, Warner Classics presents the Maria Callas Live edition: a deluxe 42-CD box set (also available as a digital download and on streaming platforms) drawing together La Divina’s live opera and recital recordings, with the invaluable inclusion of 12 roles Callas never recorded in the studio. These 20 complete operas and five complete filmed recitals on Blu-ray have been newly remastered from the highest quality source material with the cutting-edge technology of Studio Art et Son in Paris.
This unique collection captures in sumptuous sound the very heart of Callas’ artistry: it is on the stages of the world’s great opera houses and concert halls that the Maria Callas legend came to life. Thanks to faithful remastering, listeners can experience the great soprano’s voice in all its splendor and dramatic potency as if truly hearing her performing live, with recordings of unprecedented immediacy and authenticity.
The landmark box set contains a 200-page hard-back book with essays, a biography and chronology, as well as rare archival photographs of Maria Callas on stage. The cover art of each opera album in the collection presents an iconic photo of Callas in the corresponding performance.
