Jan. 9, 1958 - Rome, Italy- American-born Greek dramatic opera singer MARIA CALLAS remains an icon with an instantly recognizable voice. But she was also the first opera singer to be equipped with the ingredients of international celebrity: charisma, glamour, wealth, she had it all, together with the touches of scandal and tragedy that made her story so compelling. Since her time, every female opera singer has been measured against this powerful role model. PICTURED: Maria Callas with her husband BATTISTA MENEGHINI in a train from Rome to Milan.
