Maria Callas lived a life dramatic enough to have been an operatic storyline in its own right. From ending up in a love triangle with Jackie Kennedy to being served with legal papers in the middle of a performance, Maria's life was filled with scandal, betrayal and heartbreak. But was the singer who started her life quite literally singing for her supper the Diva her contemporaries made her out to be? Did the tragedies she faced throughout her life eclipse her musical legacy? In this episode radio presenter and DJ Arielle Free traces the extraordinary highs and lows of Maria's life to find out if she was a villain, a victim, or somewhere in between. Listen only on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds. Produced by Audio Always Producer: Rufaro Faith Mazarura Exec Producer: Jo Meek Sound Design: Craig Edmondson
