The gala evening at the Paris Opera on December 19, 1958 was announced in the press as 'the greatest show in the world'. Maria Callas, at the height of her glory, performed for the first time in front of a Parisian audience. The diva delivered all the facets of her art through the Italian classics that she loved, with the theatrical genius that is proper to her. Paris gave her a triumphant evening! The original recording of this evening, broadcast in Eurovision throughout Europe, has been newly restored with the greatest care. Presentation by Benoît Duteurtre, novelist, essayist and music critic.Excerpts from Norma by BelliniExcerpts from Il Trovatore by VerdiExcerpts from Il barbiere di Seviglia by RossiniComplete second act of Tosca by Puccini'
