A full 30 years after her death, diva Maria Callas, the most celebrated opera singer of the post-World War II period, remains both a favourite for opera-lovers and a legend outside the world of classical music. A figure of high drama both on and off-stage, Callas died alone in her Paris apartment aged only 53 on September 16, 1977. "The gods were bored, they beckoned back their voice," couture supremo Yves Saint Laurent said at the time. Recordings of Callas, a versatile soprano with an unforgettable voice, have since featured almost permanently on music publisher EMI's catalogue, which estimates world sales up until now at around 30 million albums. "What is extraordinary is that even three decades after her death Callas continues to speak to people, even to those who weren't even born when she died," Alain Lanceron, vice-president of EMI Classics Google Links | BUY Maria Callas
