Maria Callas has said that she felt "electricity" right away in France -- The French people definitely adored her. She was extremely well received by the French elite, including the then French President, when she sang at the Opera in Paris on Dec 19, 1958.
I believe that was the performance where the chorus came in late in "Casta Diva." On the other hand, Callas was having great fun with "Una Voce Poco Fa." When she sings "D'amor sull'ali rosee" you can hear her sing a true, two-note, whole-tone trill, in tune. I have yet to hear another vocalist match that accomplishment.
That is interesting. It seems the French didn't care about the so-called scandal. In fact, I wonder if the "scandal" gave her greater lustre in the French public's eyes.

Τόσο όμορφη , τόσο επιβλητική, τόσο απλή
Lovely to see her so courteously treated by the French after the whole Rome ordeal two weeks earlier.
