Giuseppe Verdi was a defining figure in Italian opera credited with reviving the form after the death of Rossini. Nabucco was his breakthrough opera and it was a great success playing across Europe and marking the beginning of a long and fruitful career for the composer.

The song was ""Va Pensiero
Long before the media's obsession with celebrity scaled its current heights, Maria Callas commanded headlines and column inches equal to any of the jet-setting elite of her time. In those terms alone, and much as opera purists might flinch at the idea, she was the Madonna of her day. But that is only one reason why her legend extends well beyond her place in the pantheon of great sopranos and so long after her death in 1977. An excellent companion to Tony Palmer's 1987 documentary La Divina, this documentary provides a well-rounded picture of an extraordinary talent who defended her art with the courage of a tigress, but whose turbulent private life gave her little except restless grief. It is crammed with concert footage and archive interviews. She was, as one of the contributors Franco Zeffirelli says, a genius of hair-raising stature and one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. But she was also a rather fragile human being. The tension between the two makes the telling of her story utterly compelling. The DVD includes chronologies of Callas' life and the many roles she played during her career. --Piers Ford
