Angela Gheorghiu ‎- Homage To Maria Callas: Favourite Opera Arias (2011)

The defining diva of the 21st Century performs a programme of beloved French and Italian arias inspired by the career and recordings of Maria Callas, the greatest diva of the last century.

The CD features arias strongly identified with Callas’s repertoire from La bohème, Faust, Il pirata, Adriana Lecouvreur, Andrea Chenier, I Pagliacci, La Wally, Medea, Le Cid and Samson et Delilah, as well as two arias from La traviata, the opera that launched Gheorghiu’s international career in 1994. At the time, New York Magazine wrote, “Her Lady of the Camellias is a worthy successor to Garbo and Callas.”
