Qui va sortir amb Maria Callas?

Maria Callas (born Maria Anna Cecilia Sophia Kalogeropoulos; December 2, 1923 – September 16, 1977) was an American-born Greek soprano and one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century. Many critics praised her bel canto technique, wide-ranging voice and dramatic interpretations. Her repertoire ranged from classical opera seria to the bel canto operas of Donizetti, Bellini, and Rossini, and further to the works of Verdi and Puccini, and in her early career to the music dramas of Wagner. Her musical and dramatic talents led to her being hailed as La Divina ("The Divine One").

Born in Manhattan and raised in Astoria, Queens, New York City, to Greek immigrant parents, she was raised by an overbearing mother who had wanted a son. Maria received her musical education in Greece at age 13 and later established her career in Italy. Forced to deal with the exigencies of 1940s wartime poverty and with near-sightedness that left her nearly blind on stage, she endured struggles and scandal over the course of her career. She underwent a mid-career weight loss, which might have contributed to her vocal decline and the premature end of her career.

The press exulted in publicizing Callas's temperamental behavior, the alleged Callas–Tebaldi rivalry, and her love affair with Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis. Onassis's wife, Athina "Tina" Onassis Niarchos, divorced him when she discovered that he was having an affair with Callas.

Although her dramatic life and personal tragedy have often overshadowed Callas the artist in the popular press, her artistic achievements were such that Leonard Bernstein called her "the Bible of opera", and her influence so enduring that, in 2006, Opera News wrote of her: "Nearly thirty years after her death, she's still the definition of the diva as artist—and still one of classical music's best-selling vocalists."

Her ashes were scattered over the Aegean Sea on 3 June 1979, fulfilling one of her last wishes.

Aristotelis Socrates Onassis (en grec: Αριστοτέλης Σωκράτης Ωνάσης) (Esmirna (Imperi Otomà), 15 de gener de 1906 - Neuilly-sur-Seine (França), 15 de març de 1975) fou un armador grec.

Va estar casat primer amb Athina Livanos (1946-1960), amb la qual va tenir dos fills, Alexander i Christina, i després amb la vídua de JFK, Jacqueline (1968-1975). També va ser amant de la cantant d'òpera de Nova York Maria Callas.

El 1922 la família Onassis va haver de fugir de Turquia per salvar-se del genocidi contra els grecs, al Gran Incendi d'Esmirna. Va ser cònsol general de Grècia a l'Argentina i va fer una gran fortuna amb els seus negocis. Va aconseguir que es posés de moda el consum de tabac per les dones a partir de 1920. Des de 1925, tenia doble nacionalitat grega i argentina. Durant la Segona Guerra Mundial va donar suport als aliats amb els seus vaixells, i posteriorment va fer grans negocis amb la Dictadura dels Coronels (1967-1974) a Grècia. Va adquirir la propietat de l'illa de Skorpios (Illes Jòniques), una illa privada de menys d'un kilòmetre quadrat que probablement encara pertany als seus hereus. És considerat el navilier més important del segle xx i un dels artífexs del domini mundial dels grecs en el camp de la marina mercant.
