DESCRIPTION:

From Caruso to Callas, we’ll examine five opera stars whose singing styles—and distinctive personalities—developed and transformed the art of opera. Through music and video, find out how these virtuosos raised the standards of vocal performance, acting, and dramatic presentation.  Enrico Caruso, Feodor Chaliapin, Rosa Ponselle, Jussi Bjorling and Maria Callas influenced, radically changed, and raised the bar on what the public expected from opera.
