Dubbed "the Bible of opera" by Leonard Bernstein, "la Callas", as she is commonly known, revolutionised the operatic art of the twentieth century by enhancing the approach to acting, which until then had been relegated to the background. Surrounded by the finest artists of her time (Boris Christoff, Giulietta Simionato...) and having performed on the world's leading opera stages (Venice, Rome, Paris, New York, Milan, Mexico City, London...), Maria Callas still remains at the forefront of the opera world. ), Maria Callas remains one of the most famous singers of the 21st century, thanks to the distinctive timbre of her voice, her wide range of almost three octaves, her virtuosity and unique phrasing, and her talent as a tragedienne, enabling her to portray her characters with great dramatic intensity (Lucia, Medea, Norma, Tosca, Violetta).

Maria Callas aroused passions that earned her both adulation and criticism, and her exceptionally successful professional life and turbulent private life make her the very icon of the "diva".

Edge: grooved and inscribed with the words "ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ*" in Greek alphabet, meaning Hellenic Republic for Republic of Greece.
