These are the only professional video recordings of Callas in performance on stage. The DVD contains footage of Callas performing arias in concert. Even without staging and costumes, she demonstrates her mesmerising stage presence and her ability to bring the music and the character to life - through the music and text, through facial expression, and through subtle use of gesture.
