Smashing Contribution!

The Color of Callas is a SMASHING CONTRIBUTION to the "Art World". What a gift to us. Wonderful cover, quality paper and printing, attractive hard cover and strong professional binding, BUT those things are not central to it's main value.
Colors of Callas is different!
It is both informative and factual.
But, it is yet exciting and entertaining. This book must be purchased by any serious Opera or creative arts person. I love it! The authors have affectuated a most worthy cause. Plus, they have done it excellently and with flare, accuracy and excitement.
I find most books boring. This one is NOT!

NOT JUST FOR OPERA BUFFS

This book is a great read, like watching an episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". I'm not an opera nut, but I bought this book because of my fascination for celebrities and this is the only Callas book that did it for me. Great detail makes you feel like you're there. Tragedy and comedy skillfully blended. Poverty and opulance; family intrigue, thoroughaly engrosing. I'm going to read it again, but more slowly the second time around.

"The authors have skillfully woven a fine tapestry of events, with each chapter identified by a distinct color. This unique treatment allows the reader an unprecedented, near-touching closeness to Callas, as she sets her thoughts on the past. With each fact of her career and private life meticulously studied, this impresive book, with its enormous amount of compelling information, will lay to rest the belief that Maria Callas was not human."

I found this book the most riveting yet about our dear Maria.

A True Portrait

As an avid opera goer I relished this book from cover to cover. All that I knew about Maria Callas I learned as a child from news headlines regarding her stormy relationsip with Aristotle Onassis. After reading this book, I wanted to rush out to buy her music to experience the legendary voice so acclaimed by her fans. If you are not a fan when you begin this book, you will be by the end.

Chapter by chapter the authors allow you to re-live the highs and lows that made Maria the artist that she was. Thank you, Mr. Pero and Mr. Byrne for this unbiased account. You brought her back to life.
