Book excerpt: More than 40 years after her death, the legend of Maria Callas, “La Divina Assoluta,” remains unsurpassed. Much has been written about her sensational opera career and fraught private life, from her definitive mastery of iconic opera roles to her love affairs and tantrums. The prototype for the 20th century celebrity diva, Callas emblematizes the cliche of tormented talent – genius in the ring with catastrophe. Her extraordinary voice, in particular, has become an object of cult-like adoration and cultural significance almost with a life of its own: as fetish object, as sophisticated sonic signifier, and most recently, as the lifeblood for a Callas hologram. Such adoration is not without consequences. When Callas is transformed into a vessel for such transcendent magic, it overshadows what is perhaps her most superhuman ability – the masterful technique she deployed to shape and craft her astounding instrument. Singing bodies are working bodies, enacting an intimate and complex form of artistic labor and cultural signification. Using one of Callas's first recital recordings from 1954, this book envisions each aria as a lens to examine various aspects of vocalization and cultural reception of the feminized voice in both classical and pop culture, from Homer's Sirens to Star Trek. With references to works by Marina Abramovic, Charles Baudelaire, Michel Chion, Wayne Koestenbaum, Greil Marcus, and Farah Jasmine Griffin, as well as films by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jonathan Demme, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, each chapter explores phenomena unique to the singing voice, including the operatic screaming point, the politics of listening, and the singing simulacrum.

Book excerpt: "More than 40 years after her death, the extraordinary voice of Maria Callas, "La Divina Assoluta," still remains unsurpassed. It has the power to divide critics, some finding it monstrous, others transcendent. Artists like Patti Smith, Linda Ronstadt and Nina Simone have cited Callas as a major influence and inspiration. She remains one of the most important female voices of the 20th century. Much has been written about Callas's sensational opera career and fraught private life, from her clashes with other artists, affair with billionaire playboy Aristotle Onassis, to her tragic death in 1977. And yet, the fascination with Callas's biography tends to overshadow her most seemingly superhuman qualities - her astounding voice and masterful technique. Callas often spoke of her voice as if it were something external, independent of her, with its own will, failings and desires. Nevertheless, she was a diva with iron discipline, taming her voice to forge roles that have become legendary. Using one of Callas's first recital recordings from 1954 as a foundation, this book envisions each song, each aria, as a lens to examine phenomena as diverse as the operatic screaming point, feminism and the voice, and music and violence"--
