What was it that made Maria Callas the artist one of the most important and influential figures in the field of opera in the last 50 years? And what was the true character of the woman Maria Callas herself? The answers to these questions will never be fully known, but in this documentary many of the people close to her in both her public and her private life give their personal reminiscences and Callas herself, in television interviews and rare newsreel footage, contributes to the overall picture.

And soprano Reri Grist, never again so lovingly captured by the recording microphones, is a ravishing delight in the finale as she recounts a child's vision of heaven." -Herbert Glass
