Alas! Maria Callas...................by K J S Chatrath

 

                                                                 Maria Callas in 1958

I was keen to watch the series 'Maria' on Netflix....Based on the amazing Maria Callas and lead role by Angelina Jolie...what could possibly go wrong?....Maria Callas was an American-born Greek soprano and one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century....

Well, let me start by the Trailer, I thought. 

I must confess that I do not know much of the genre of music that Maria Callas is famous for........And then the bigger confession- I couldn't handle even the trailer, what to talk of watching the whole series...

One should admit when one is licked.
