No I have not seen this movie but I would love to see it. The only opera I have seen live on stage is a half hour Western American opera called Face on the Bar Room Floor. I have seen many operas on TV thanks to Public Broadcasting (PBS). Here is Maria Callas singing my favorite aria and probably the most difficult for a soprano to sing is the Queen of the Night Aria from Mozart's Magic Flute which is a comedy.

Here is Meryl Streep as Florence Foster Jenkins dubbed the world's worst singer, singing the same song in the movie by the same name. Shows what NYC rich socialites were like in the 1930's and early 40's during WW2. Very good movie and yes that is Simon Helberg actually playing the piano. He's the guy that plays Howard Wolowitz in Big Bang Theory.

Thanks for reminding me about this... I heard a radio interview with the director of the film, and it sounded truly fascinating... Meryl Streep seldom puts a foot wrong in her choice of roles (erm, death becomes her), so I need to hunt this out on download...

Born in New York, but soon moved back to her native Greece, where she made her name, then to Italy where she became arguably the greatest opera singer of our time .

Maria Callas is a birth-right U.S. citizen like Bruce Lee, Diane Guerrero, Alberto Gonzales, Marco Rubio, Henry Cejudo, Bobby Jindal, Pete Domenici, my Dad etc.
