"Drama Queen" brings together the most dramatic studio recordings ever made by Maria Callas during the course of her career. Or, to express it more accurately, this compilation brings together some of the most dramatic operatic scenes and arias ever recorded. Even four decades after her death in Paris in 1977, what the director Franco Zeffirelli said about her still holds true today: there is a "BC" and "AC" era - "before Callas" and "after Callas"
"The thrill of hearing Maria Callas launching into Bellini's dramatic arias, replete with vocal acrobatics, is one of opera's great experiences." Yorkshire Post
