"Maria Callas was, is, and will always be, the only holy soprano and queen of drama."
This is someone else's evaluation of Karas, not exaggerated, at least so far no one has surpassed her.
It is a pity that such a brilliant and only opera queen was eventually buried in the whirlpool of love, unable to extricate herself to death.
When we try to open up Karras's emotional inferiority, we have to go back to her childhood, which is a dark and cruel experience.
Callas has a very strong and ambitious mother, for whom she can never make a difference in art in her life is a regret that can never be calmed.
So, when the woman discovered that her daughter was gifted in music, she immediately took up the whip that urged people forward and swung The Young Mind of Callas.
In fact, Kalas has not had a beautiful face since he was a child, coupled with the fact that he has not been favored by his parents, and he is fat and very unconfident in his heart.
As a mother, not only did she not give her tolerance and love, on the contrary, when Kalas did not like her own wishes and could not move forward in music, she always got the most ruthless ridicule and ridicule.
In order to be recognized, to get a little love in front of her mother, Karas sang desperately, and even though the guidance given by her mother was not correct, she forced herself to work in the direction she expected.
It was a nightmarish upbringing for Kalas: "I started practicing every day at the age of five, and I hated singing. ”
However, she had no choice, and the only thing she could do to get her mother's attention was to sing hard.
Not only that, But Callas's mother divorced her husband, and in order to survive world war II, she asked her two daughters to sell their hue in exchange for rations.
All of this apparently had a profound effect on Karas, whose inferiority in her bones grew wildly in the face of severe insecurity.
This became a factor that affected her life, including the unconditional giving and humility in her relationship later.
If fate has ever attached herself to Kalas, it is her later success in opera. Because of the good talent conditions, coupled with the efforts from childhood, Karas ushered in his own spring.
Only 28 years old, Kalas eventually became the most beautiful "queen" on the opera stage.
Her voice attracted the attention of the world, and even if it was the birthday of the President of the United States, she was invited to perform. And, as a result, she was received by Kennedy.
Some say that Callas is pavarotti of the soprano world, and her singing voice is full of ups and downs, full of delicate feelings.
"Some people don't express as much emotion in their lives as this soprano does in a 3-minute clip."
Unfortunately, fame also comes at a price.
After escaping his mother's control, Karas met her agent husband Menegini, a man that Kalas later called "a lice."
Menegini played his most shrewd side as an agent, he was very aware of how to maintain the positive image of Callas and how to please the audience.
But at the same time, Menegini is also a businessman, and he wants to guarantee the greatest profit in the shortest possible time.
For the sake of money, he spared no expense, as Callas said:
"Once I didn't have a penny, now I'm a millionaire through myself."
It is conceivable how helpless Karas's repression with such a husband is.
This is also what many people think, and the reason why she became the lover of the ship king Onassis is inseparable from this fact.
Of course, Onassis was indeed a master of flirting at the time, and in order to get Karas, he did not hesitate to build the world's largest tourist ship, and in order to pursue Karas, he once put a bouquet of flowers a day when he performed in Greece.
Kalas also faces her own pain: her husband Menegini wants to force Her to lose weight in order to keep Karas on stage.
We all know how important a good weight ratio is in the singing process. But for the sake of her husband's love, Kalas had to obey his orders and make his original plump figure thinner.
How to lose weight? She was a high-pitched singer and could not go on a hunger strike.
Callas was so cruel to herself that in 1953 she resorted to tapeworms to lose weight, that is, to let tapeworms parasitize in her intestines, and in a year and a half, she lost her weight from 106 kilograms to 60 kilograms, becoming an opera goddess with a waist circumference of eight inches.
Not only that, menegini believes that in order to dominate the stage, Karas must not have children, which will affect her body and singing career.
This is a very cruel decision for a woman who has a lack of inner security and has always had low self-esteem.
But in this marriage, Karas did not have any initiative, and she thought that as long as she did what her husband asked, she could get a perfect family life and have love.
In fact, the more humble she became, the more her husband gained. Eventually, Karas had the result of poor timbre due to weight loss.
In this situation, Kalas began to be disheartened and wanted to leave her husband. It just so happened that Onassis's initiative gave her hope.
However, what Karas did not expect was that although the ship king did not want to cash out on himself, it was only to satisfy his personal desires.
Originally, I thought that if I got out of the pain given by my husband, I could get the love and safety of the king of the ship.
After all, Karas had spent her life by mistake, and she spent nine years with the Ship King, and she was known as Onassis's lover.
When Kalas told the Ship King the news of his pregnancy, he was met with the Ship King's most ruthless refusal: If we didn't go to the abortion, our relationship would end.
What kind of love this is can be imagined, but the inferior Karas does not have the courage to refute it.
What she wants is a love, a marriage that gives her a sense of security. Even if her ex-husband squeezed her with all his strength, she would endure, even if the ship king was cold and ruthless, she still silently accepted.
Soon, Callas was desperate: the Ship King married the former First Lady of the United States, Jacqueline, the year after her abortion, and her love affair with the Ship King vanished.
However, for Kalas, her biggest drawback is that she is soft-hearted and will change her mind in the midst of flattery.
At that time, shortly after breaking up with the ship king, he was disconnected from the ship king because of his soft grinding and hard bubbles.
In this way, Karas became the woman who could not see the light. This relationship lasted until the ship king and Jacqueline had a marriage change, and she thought that her love was coming back.
Unexpectedly, the ship king quickly died after directing Jacqueline's nude photos storm.
Kalas was devastated by this, and it is said that when she heard that the ship king had died, the whole person was heartbroken.
Eventually, the distraught Callas swallowed a large number of sleeping pills one night in 1977 and has since bid farewell to the world at the age of 53.
She left a will: to scatter her ashes into the Aegean Sea.
David Rolle once said:
"Maria Callas is a singer who drives the audience to cult the soprano, and her singing voice and the ups and downs of her personal life are like the fate of the heroine played in the opera.".
Indeed, a singer who has become a world-class queen, but never gets the love he wants, is reduced to a money-making machine in marriage, and is regarded as a spare tire in love.
What is the reason for all this? I'm afraid That Kalas didn't figure it out until his death.
