The now-dilapidated house where opera legend Maria Callas lived from 1940-45 is set to become an opera school itself, approved by Greece.
Dubbed the Maria Callas Opera Academy, the project was a long-term goal of soprano Vasso Papantoniou and husband writer Vassilis Vassilikos. Yesterday at a gala concert, artistic director of the Greek National Opera Myron Michailidis announced the organization would support the construction plans.
