Having been extensively enlarged and updated, the exhibit, Marie Callas: A Woman, A Voice, A Myth is being presented by the Istituto italiano di Cultura. Under the banner of the Ring Festival LA, it's a rare opportunity to relive Callas' life and art; the great soprano who was praised by poets and artists. From her stage costumes, jewels and precious belongings, letters to celebrities and a large collection of photographs, visitors can imagine the appeal of her feminine charm and legendary voice. I sat transfixed watching a documentary of this mythical diva while her arias played and her beautiful face looked down upon me. Through April 23rd, call 310-443-3250 for opening hours.
