The era of sopranos ended on the day Maria died.

Saw her documentary Maria by Callas. She seemed very genuine and kind person. My heart went out to her during her trying times. Great voice. RIP

It was sad day for her family and fans . I was studying in Paris then in my second year of residency there. Une dame au talent et à la générosité incroyable.

The greatest female operatic actress, colourist, hence vocalist of all time. RIP Angel

[@nancyrevzen7798]

such a sad life, She was never satisfied with anything about herself, not her voice, not her weight, not what the critics said. She made her life very sad

A very bizarre situation, her sister had no control of those arrangements. The shady or so called "her friend" Vaso Deventzes, manipulated the whole situation after Maria's death.
In few words, Maria having no will, she stole along with a male companion millions of dollars,finally she died shortly after after Maria's passing.

Who is the woman with the sunglasses coming out of the church at 3.30 into the video, and photographers are obsessed with taking photos of her as she's walking to the car?

[@adeyinkamakinde6164]

Princess Grace of Monaco. Her daughter Princess Caroline is walking behind her.
