Maria Callas Facts
In 1972, George Moore, president of the Metropolitan Opera board, offered her the job of Artistic Director. She turned it down to stage her comeback recital tour. The 1973 tour was a disater due to Callas's almost-completely destroyed voice.

Rejected invitations to play Norma by director Joseph Losey, and Tosca by director Franco Zeffirelli, and was tempted to do Medea by director Carl Theodor Dreyer - a project that did not materialize - and finally accepted to be Medea in Pier Paolo Pasolini film - when her voice failed her.

Known for singing both coloratura and spinto soprano roles.
