This is story of the great Italian soprano (1922-2004), her career, her performances, of the famous Tebaldi-Callas feud, and recollections of other temperamental stars like Del Monaco and Di Stefano. She was an Italian lirico-spinto soprano popular in the post-war period, and especially prominent as one of the stars of La Scala, San Carlo and, especially, the Metropolitan Opera. Often considered among the great opera singers of the 20th century due to her voice and her height (5'10"), she focused primarily on the verismo roles of the lyric and dramatic repertoires.
