[@lissandrafreljord7913]

She looks like a fashion icon.

She _was._

"It would be a shame for the bottle, you know" - very elegant :D

[@stephenfletcher6801]

Callas is simply mesmerizing. Gorgeous, charming, playful and quick-witted, she conveys more personality in this 1:11, interview clip than any current opera singer could convey in an hour.

[@7CALLAS]

SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL

[@ashleysy2744]

She’s the definition of perfect! Beautiful, intelligent, poised, high class...she has it all! ❤️

[@BaroneVitellioScarpia1]

I love Callas!

[@MarcAllenCramnella]

I think Sir Thomas is having fun here and CERTAINLY seems on "Miss Madame Callas'" side. I adore both of them.

[@Paddy818]

She lived for art and then love! She had a great life! We all have our destiny! Her's will live on for eternity!

[@Operafiend22]

No one ever got the better of Callas

[@jmiller05]

She was in full gorgeous goddess mode here. Plus her shade was delicious.

[@scottgarbo1288]

La Divina is strikingly beautiful in this interview. She was exceptional on all levels - talent, intelligence, artistry, strength, integrity, honesty, elegance and beauty. "I never threw anything at anyone.....unfortunately." She was always at least one step ahead of the rest of the world.

[@alexandrastratanphotographer]

i love it: it would be a shame for the bottle, wonderful !

[@yes4albert]

Looking gorgeous!! Imagine having such a passion for music and having to put up with all that nonsense always swirling around her. She handles it with grace.

[@-blythe2986]

Good gracious she looks so stunning.

[@olegvr5499]

Callas forever!!!...

[@raynardi7243]

Grande Maria!!!!

Tigress of Opera and high priestes of her art in Opera.. Still over 50 years !

[@GloriaJanvier]

Sir Thomas Beecham had a great sense of humor!

[@gingin3919]

so beautiful

[@Dadacomero]

hahahahahaha love her!

[@lucianapb10]

Oh my! If God could give me a chance to talk with her for 10 minutes...

[@ftumschk]

For those wondering why Beecham is shouting - he was an old man, and probably wasn't used to the new-fangled concept of a live TV link-up. Even the host is behaving as if he's not used to the technology, looking up awkwardly at (presumably) Beecham's face being "beamed" into a TV monitor above his head.

[@tartaninka]

My mum (78) shouts like Beecham anytime she is om any phone...

[@GeorgiNM]

Hello and thank you! Do you have the one with her father George Kalogeropoulos? It was very interesting to say the least.

[@danawinsor1380]

Delightful!

[@MrFalconford]

it would appear maria callas could handle any circumstance when given the opportunity and as far as the entertainment of her beautiful she knew full well all the attention the audience paid to looks while her character and talent were equally as important if not more so all you have to do is read the comments even today although digging a little deeper one realizes most comments are usually self motivated at least in this format

[@Noemie.Balard]

est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait mettre des sous-titres français sous les interviews en anglais je vous en supplie il n'y a pas beaucoup interview de Maria Callas en Français 😭

[@LohengrinTh]

sir Thomas Beecham had to ask Callas about that? random people in big places...

[@AlphonsodeBarbo]

Isn't she gorgeous!

[@camionette5569]

Where is the David Frost's interview ???

[@sirdicaudore]

Totally agree! Only his age could be an excuse...

[@distefano13069609]

would you post the whole interview please?

[@markdarenvillanueva7740]

Where's the full video of this

[@philhistorian5417]

Hi. I'd like to know where did you find this video clip. You see I have been looking for a copy of one of the episodes of this show of Ed Murrow. I have been looking for a copy of the show's episode which featured the interview of Manila Mayor Arsenio H. Lacson in March 1959. ("Small World: Episode #1.23" (1959)). If you could help me on this, I will really appreciate it. Please, oh please do help me. Many thanks for your attention.

[@tonioruben]

Because I'm not from the english language , someone can tell me what kind accent have Maria Callas ? English , american ? thanck you

[@ashleysy2744]

Probably not helpful but for some reason it always sounded like a mix of French, Italian and British, it depended on which clip of her it was lol

[@i.rankin6711]

No there was an American hinge ( also ) to it. She grew up in NYC

[@classicalperformances8777]

Meryl streep should playbit. What an ars.

[@arisgreece26]

[@brettjaniec3933]

[@verdifan4915]

Well was it a bottle of something else madame 🤣

[@vininio]

What’s wrong with that nervous old man? Is this what he wants to know about Maria Callas?
