English Summary:

Callas Forever is a 2002 biographical film directed by Franco Zeffirelli, who co-wrote the screenplay with Martin Sherman. It is an homage to Zeffirelli's friend, internationally acclaimed opera diva Maria Callas, whom he directed on stage in Norma, La traviata, and Tosca.[1] It was his last film before his death in 2019.

The partially fictionalized film is set in 1977, the year in which Callas died, and centers on the making of a movie of Georges Bizet's Carmen. The diva, whose now-ragged voice is well past its prime, is persuaded to star in it by longtime friend and former manager Larry Kelly, who abandoned classical music to become a rock impresario. He insists by lip-synching to her old recording she will recapture her lost youth and leave behind a priceless legacy for her admirers, and his theory is supported by Callas confidante and journalist Sarah Keller.

Other characters include Michael, a handsome young painter of limited talent and ardent Callas fan with whom Larry is infatuated; Marco, the tenor who plays Don José in Carmen and flirts with his aging co-star, who responds to his advances; and Bruna, the housekeeper in Callas' Paris apartment.

 

Hungarian Summary:

Minden idők egyik legismertebb, legsikeresebb operaénekesnője Maria Callas volt. A film az énekesnő utolsó napjainak elképzelt felidézése. Szomorú történet egy asszonyról, aki az idő múlásával, az öregedéssel nemcsak mint művész, hanem mint nő is elveszítette az önbecsülését. A menedzserének köszönhetően még egy rövid időre megkapja az esélyt, hogy újra átélje a régi dicsőségének a pillanatait. Ám rá kell jönnie, hogy mindez már a múlté, most ugyanolyan egyszerű ember, mint bárki más, egyedül kell szembenéznie az életével és a halállal.
