35.000 GUESTS AT THE FONTEGO DEI TEDESCHI, SEAT OF THE GENERAL POST OFFICE IN VENICE
The numbers are clear: 30 years since her death, 60 years since her debut at the Fenice Opera House, 50 years since the first time she met Onassis, at the Danieli Hotel. Venice celebrates her life, dedicating to her the Maria Callas Exhibition. Previously staged in the prestigious halls of Cà Vendramin Calergi, seat of the Venice Casino, the exhibition, rich in letters, documents, objects and dresses worn by the artist in the most renowned theatres in the world, has moved to the Fontego dei Tedeschi and its opening has taken place exactly 50 years since the Divina met the billionaire Aristotele Onassis, September 3rd 1957. Almost to seal her love, at the General Post Office at Rialto until September 22nd, people have had the opportunity to admire the yearning love letter that Callas wrote from Paris to her beloved, three months before he married Jacqueline Kennedy. Not fewer than 35.000 people have paid tribute to Maria in the striking cloister of the General Post Office at Rialto, as well the visitors who, from every part of Italy and the world, had crowded Cà Vendramin Calergi, where Richard Wagner had stayed and died. In the gorgeous halls of the Palace, Wagner had written a few pages of Tristano and Isotta, right the opera Callas made her debut with.
