Dimitrios KALOGEROPOULOS (Δημήτριος ΚΑΛΟΓΕΡΌΠΟΥΛΟΣ). Greek.

So much yumm here.

[donaruz]

In Grecia, ancora oggi, la chiamano "Maria", ma per tutti è "la Callas".

100 anni fa, 2 dicembre 1923, nasceva a NY l’artista che avrebbe rivoluzionato il teatro d’opera.

Maria Callas, translitterazione di Anna Maria Cecilia Sophia Kalos, contrazione dell'originario Kalogeropoulos, in greco Άννα Μαρία Καικιλία Σοφία Καλογεροπούλου

Maria Callas è passata alla storia come una delle più grandi cantanti liriche del secolo scorso, ma la sua vita è stata tormentata dalla tragedia. Sua madre le tolse l'infanzia per farla diventare una star e, sebbene tutti la idolatrassero per il suo grande talento, la cantante di origine greca non si sentì mai amata finché non incontrò Aristotele Onassis. La dea del bel canto voleva mettere su famiglia con il magnate, ma la loro storia d'amore fu tutt'altro che a lieto fine.

Quella voce ci affascinò come un sortilegio, un prodigio che non si poteva definire in alcun modo, la si poteva soltanto ascoltare come prigionieri di un incantesimo, di un turbamento mai esplorato prima. Ma non si può rendere appieno la tempesta di emozioni che suscitava in chi l'ascoltava per la prima volta. Perché Maria è un regalo di Dio che non si può definire nel tempo: Maria c'è sempre stata e ci sarà per sempre.

(Franco Zeffirelli)

Jolie dazzles Venice festival with biopic on opera legend

Angelina Jolie arrives for the premiere of the film “Maria” on Aug. 29 at the Venice film festival.

For Angelina Jolie, portraying the famed opera singer Maria Callas meant more to her than she can put into words.

“I felt such a privilege to feel like I got to know this woman and got to be inside her skin a moment. I really care for her deeply,” Jolie said a few hours before the film’s world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival.

“I think I’ll carry that like a friend.”

Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín called on Jolie to take on the role as the legendary soprano in “Maria,” which was recently acquired by Netflix for distribution.

The film focuses on the final week of her life in 1977 in Paris.

She is deeply isolated, with only her butler (Pierfrancesco Favino) and housemaid (Alba Rohrwacher) looking after her — concerned about her health, the drugs and the devastating effects of her diminished voice.

Larraín continues to explore the lives of very famous women with tragic narratives attached to them.

In 2016, he came to the festival with his Jackie Kennedy portrait, “Jackie,” starring Natalie Portman as the first lady in the aftermath of her husband’s assassination.

In 2021, he returned with Kristen Stewart playing Princess Diana as she considered divorce over the Christmas holiday in “Spencer.”

Both films earned their lead actors Oscar nominations.

“Maria” is the conclusion to this trilogy of historical women, though Callas may be a bit less known to younger generations who weren’t around for the headlines and scandals.

Born Maria Kalogeropoulos to Greek parents in New York, the singer made her professional debut in Athens as a 17-year-old.

During her brief life she became one of the greatest opera singers of all time with her unparalleled voice and stage presence.

But the accolades also came with the intense scrutiny of her life in the public eye, whether it was her exacting demands and “diva” behavior, her weight or her romantic life.

Callas famously had a relationship with shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis who left her for Jackie Kennedy.

She died in Paris at age 53 after a heart attack.

“When I put her big glasses on and her Greek hair, and I sat in my little robe as an older lady, I felt a (Maria) that felt like the private (Maria) that the world didn’t know,” Jolie said.

“And I connected to her first and kind of loved her.”

Jolie trained for nearly seven months to prepare for the role.

The singing in the film is a blend of actor and the real thing.

“My first days, (Larraín) was very good to me in that we started in a more intimate first with very few crew members,” Jolie said.

“And we ended at La Scala with everyone. So I had a little time to get my nerve. But this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I was terrified.” Larraín said it was “the only way to do it.”

“Opera requires a very particular style of singing — in the pitch, the color, the breathing, the posture,” he said.

“Sometimes it’s a tiny bit of Angie and mostly Maria and then sometimes it’s more, but it’s always there. We needed to do that because it’s the only way that she could properly prepare the character, play it right and then create the right illusion.”

Jolie has twice been nominated for acting Oscars.

She won for her supporting role in “Girl, Interrupted,” and was last nominated for her leading role in Clint Eastwood’s “Changeling.”

Netflix has not announced specific release plans for “Maria,” but Jolie’s performance already has awards buzz.

In a news conference at Venice, Jolie was asked if there were surprising ways she related to Callas.

“There’s a lot I won’t say in this room that you probably know, or assume,” Jolie said.

But, she feels they do both share a softness and a vulnerability. It’s been three years since Angelina Jolie appeared in a movie, though she’s been making a retreat from stardom for a lot longer than that, pulling back pieces of herself from the public sphere as well as from the persona she projects onscreen.

Gone are the days of the blood-vial-wearing wild child or the bombshell whose chemistry with co-star Brad Pitt in Mr. & Mrs. Smith made their coupling up feel inevitable.

As a celebrity, she has stripped sex from her image entirely, emphasizing instead her identity as a filmmaker, a human-rights activist, and a mother of six.

As an actor, she has voiced a tiger in the Kung Fu Panda franchise as often as she’s actually appeared onscreen over the past decade, and in the live-action films she has taken on, her roles have increasingly been defined by her character’s aloof beauty and elegant suffering.

I can’t begrudge Jolie her desire to armor up and put more layers between herself and a public that’s been ingesting the intimate details of her life since she was scarcely old enough to legally drink.

But I also can’t deny that I’ve found this Madonna-martyr phase of her career less than compelling.

At her best, Jolie is thrilling, a talent capable of bursting into the frame and making you believe she’s about to devour the world whole.

In her more recent roles, even when running headlong through a raging forest fire, she feels only half there.

Maria Callas, voce senza tempo

Una voce che è diventata leggenda…. Maria Callas, nata Maria Anna Cecilia Sofia Kalogeropoulos, nacque il 2 dicembre 1923 a New York, da Georges Kalogheropoulos e Evangelia Dimitriadis,  di origine greca. Fin da piccola Maria era in competizione con la sorella maggiore, Jakinthy detta Jackie,  che godeva di ogni privilegio, tra i quali quello di prendere lezioni di canto e pianoforte. Maria però in poco tempo riuscì ad imparare quello che la sorella apprendeva con tanta difficoltà e a soli undici anni partecipò alla trasmissione radiofonica L'ora del dilettante, cantando La Paloma e vincendo il secondo premio. In seguito Maria coltivò la passione per il bel canto anche quando la madre, dopo il divorzio, decise di ritornare in Grecia, portandola con sé. Nel 1937 entrò al Conservatorio di Atene e, contemporaneamente, si perfezionò nel greco e nel francese, mentre viveva gli anni dell'occupazione a cui seguì, dopo la guerra, una esistenza finalmente tranquilla e agiata. I primi successi furono proprio in Grecia con Cavalleria Rusticana nel ruolo di Santuzza e poi Tosca, suo cavallo di battaglia. La Callas decise poi di tornare a New York per rivedere il  padre, ma per lei furono due anni non particolarmente felici che la spinsero, ancora una volta, a fuggire il 27 giugno 1947 verso l'Italia, con Luisa Bagarotzy, moglie di un impresario americano, e il cantante Nicola Rossi-Lemeni. A Verona Maria conobbe, Giovanni Battista Meneghini, amante delle opere d'arte e della buona tavola, che sposò il 21 aprile 1949. L'Italia portò fortuna alla giovane soprano e  Verona, Milano, Venezia ebbero il privilegio di sentire le sue Gioconda, Tristano e Isotta, Norma, I Puritani, Aida, I Vespri siciliani, Il Trovatore e così via. Maria strinse amicizie importanti con Antonio Ghiringhelli, sovrintendente della Scala, Wally e Arturo Toscanini, che  rimase stupito e meravigliato dalla voce del grande soprano tanto che avrebbe voluto dirigerla nel Macbeth. Nuovi amori, nuove passioni arrivarono nella vita della Callas come Luchino Visconti, che la diresse  a Milano, nel 1954, nella Vestale di Spontini, Pasolini,  Zeffirelli e Giuseppe di Stefano. La Callas visse trionfi in tutto il mondo tra Londra, Vienna, Berlino, Amburgo, Stoccarda, Parigi, New York (Metropolitan), Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Kansas City. Nel 1959 la soprano lasciò il marito e, grazie all'amica Elsa Maxwell, miliardaria americana, conobbe  l'armatore greco Aristotele Onassis, con cui visse un’intensa ma drammatica storia d’amore. Dopo il 1964 iniziò il declino della cantante, quando Onassis l'abbandonò per Jacqueline Kennedy. La voce della Callas cominciò a perdere smalto e intensità, così si ritirò dal mondo in un appartamento a Parigi. Maria morì il 16 settembre 1977 a soli 53 anni, con accanto a lei un maggiordomo e Maria, la fedele governante. I vestiti della Callas andarono all'asta a Parigi e le ceneri vennero disperse nell'Egeo, ma esiste una lapide in suo ricordo presso il cimitero parigino di Pere Lachaise, dove sono sepolti molti altri importanti nomi della politica, della scienza, dello spettacolo, del cinema e della musica.

María Callas

(1923/12/02 - 1977/09/16)

Soprano de origen griego

Una de las mejores cantantes de ópera del siglo XX.

Óperas: Tristán e Isolda, Rigoletto, La traviata...

Padres: George Kalogeropoulos y Evangelia Dimitriadis

Cónyuges: Giovanni Battista Meneghini 1949-1959)

Pareja: Aristóteles Onassis (1959-1968)

Nombre: Maria Anna Cecilia Sofia Kalogeropoulos

Apodo: La Divina

Altura: 1,70 m

María Callas nació el 2 de diciembre de 1923 en Nueva York.

Hija de George Kalogeropoulos y Evangelia Dimitriadis, emigrantes griegos. Sus padres vieron en el enorme talento musical de su hija, entonces feúcha, miope y más bien gordita, la puerta de escape a la miseria familiar.

Debido a las dificultades económicas de su familia, regresó a Grecia con su madre en 1937.

https://5ce30a9619da3e9876b0cb52f6780545.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html Se inscribió en el Conservatorio de Atenas estudiando con Elvira da Hidalgo, una renombrada soprano además de una excelente profesora.

Hizo su debut en 1941 con la obra Tosca de Giacomo Puccini en la Ópera de Atenas. Estuvo cantando en Atenas durante varios años antes de realizar su debut italiano con La Gioconda de Ponchielli en Verona en el año 1947. Esta producción de La Gioconda estuvo dirigida por Tullio Serafin, quien se convirtió en su mentor musical.

De adolescente rozó los 100 Kg. y se transformó en una mujer de 69 y ciento setenta centímetros de altura cuando su voz y su genio alcanzaban su cima. Los inicios de su carrera fueron interpretando papeles dramáticos como Isolda, Brünnhilde y Aida.

En 1949 se casó con el industrial italiano Giovanni Battista Meneghini, 30 años mayor que ella, que se iba a transformar no sólo en su esposo sino también en su manager, protector, financista y dietólogo. Estuvieron diez años casados.

https://5ce30a9619da3e9876b0cb52f6780545.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html En 1959, Callas conoció al naviero griego Aristóteles Onassis, por el que abandona a su marido Giovanni Meneghini.

Desde 1949, animada por Tullio Serafín se decantó por la coloratura de papeles que pertenecen al bel canto; entre ellos Norma, Lucia di Lammermoor y varios personajes de óperas italianas olvidadas durante mucho tiempo.

Reconocida especialmente por el color especial de su voz, su presencia dramática y su musicalidad, cantó sobre todo en La Scala de Milán, en las óperas de Roma y París, el Covent Garden de Londres y el Metropolitan Opera House de Nueva York.

En 1965, realizó su última representación operística con Tosca en el Covent Garden de Londres. En ese momento tenía 41 años. Tres años más tarde, Aristóteles Onassis dejó a Maria Callas por Jacqueline Kennedy. Durante la última década de su vida, vivió prácticamente recluida en París.

Realizó pequeñas apariciones con di Stefano e impartió una serie de clases maestras en el Juilliard School de Nueva York entre los años 1971 y 1972.

https://5ce30a9619da3e9876b0cb52f6780545.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html Una anécdota cuenta que siendo miope no toleraba las lentillas y tampoco quería salir a escena con gafas, así que actuó sin ver muy bien lo que le rodeaba. Se cuenta que una noche de invierno, en la Scala de Milán, cantó ante un público integrado mayoritariamente por partidarios acérrimos de la otra gran soprano del momento, Renata Tebaldi. Al término de la representación, estos bombardearon el escenario con toda suerte de frutas y hortalizas. La Callas no se dio cuenta de nada... hasta que se agachó para recoger un manojo de puerros. Sonriente, digna, sin perder su sangre fría, la diva se irguió con su ramo horto-frutícola entre los brazos, pidió silencio a la sala, y preguntó: "¿Dónde consiguen unas verduras tan frescas en invierno?".

En su libro María Callas, la tigresa y el cordero, David Bret sostiene que la diva tenía la obsesión de seducir y "rescatar" homosexuales. Así intentó en vano enamorar a Leonard Bernstein, Luchino Visconti, Franco Zeffirelli y Pier Paolo Pasolini, convencida, según Bret, de que ningún homosexual podría resistir su amor.

María Callas falleció el 16 de septiembre de 1977 de un ataque al corazón en su piso parisino. En 1979, sus cenizas fueron esparcidas en el mar Egeo.

Pesaro: WKO celebra la Divina con Forum e Concerto

Pesaro: WKO celebra la Divina con Forum e Concerto. Come disse Carmelo Bene, "Maria Callas ha dalla sua prima apparizione ecceduto le attese stucchevoli dei melomani imponendosi, carismatica, come un altrove non solo del melodramma. Perfetta, eppure oltre la musica. Sarebbe un oltraggio definirla miseramente una grande cantante. Era, ed è, l'arte". Maria Anna Cecilia Sofia Kalos, contrazione del cognome originario Kalogeropoulos, soprano statunitense di origine greca, naturalizzata italiana, in arte Maria Callas, nasceva cento anni fa, il 2 dicembre, a New York. La WunderKammer Orchestra celebra questa immensa artista, leggenda della lirica e icona di stile, con l'iniziativa CALLAS 100, un focus e un concerto dedicati alla Divina in programma a Pesaro domenica 6 agosto a Palazzo Montani Antaldi con il patrocinio del Comune di Pesaro, la collaborazione della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Pesaro e Amat, il sostegno di Sistemi Klein e Riviera Banca e il supporto di Giardino di Santa Maria, Ceramiche Bucci e Roberto Valli Pianoforti. La Divina: Dotata di una voce dal timbro non omogeneo e di grande volume, la Callas sviluppò un magistrale controllo dello strumento vocale, notevole estensione ed agilità grazie alla formazione belcantistica ricevuta dal soprano Elvira de Hidalgo. Unito alla grande musicalità e a una natura drammatica senza precedenti, questo forte bagaglio tecnico la rese artefice della riscoperta del repertorio italiano della prima metà dell'Ottocento, in particolare di Bellini e Donizetti. In seguito alle storiche riprese dei ruoli scritti per Maria Malibran e Giuditta Pasta, il grande musicologo Fedele D'Amico reintrodusse per lei il termine 'soprano drammatico d'agilità'. Il successo artistico e la successiva esposizione mediatica dovuta alle frequentazioni sociali extra-teatrali hanno costruito un mito attorno a lei, attribuendole l'appellativo di Divina. La tavola rotonda: Alle 17:30 nell'Auditorium di Palazzo Montani Antaldi (ingresso libero) si comincia con la tavola rotonda. Un parterre di autorevolissimi relatori, con il supporto di ascolti e filmati, proporrà una avvincente carrellata sulla difficile esistenza e sulla straordinaria carriera della Callas, toccando la portata storica della sua apparizione sulle scene liriche alla fine degli anni Quaranta del Novecento, il repertorio, la tecnica vocale, gli aspetti privati e l'impatto sulla vita pubblica che la Divina ebbe fino alla sua prematura e poco chiara scomparsa il 16 settembre 1977 nella sua casa parigina. Ne parleranno Michael Aspinall, musicologo e storico della vocalità, docente e cantante lirico, che collabora da circa vent'anni con il Rossini Opera Festival, Carla Maria Casanova, giornalista e scrittrice, 'la signora della lirica' che in più di sessant'anni di carriera ha conosciuto, frequentato e intervistato le star più grandi, dalla Callas alla Tebaldi, da Pavarotti a Muti, e Alessandra Rossi, soprano, docente di canto e referente artistica della Divisione Opera della WKO. Modera il presidente della WunderKammer Orchestra, Stefano Gottin. Il concerto: A seguire il forum, alle 21:30, nel Cortile di Palazzo Montani Antaldi, concerto lirico con il soprano Jelena Dojčinović che si esibirà in un programma 'callasiano' insieme al pianista Lorenzo Bavaj, solista di profilo internazionale, che dal 1989 accompagna José Carreras al pianoforte nei teatri d'opera e nelle sale da concerto più famosi del mondo. Il concerto sarà punteggiato dalle letture di Clio Gaudenzi. In programma "Ove m'inoltro?... Un turbamento arcano... Di quai soavi lagrime" da Poliuto di Donizetti e "Sediziose voci... Casta diva... Ah, bello a me ritorna" da Norma di Bellini. Segue il Valse lugubre per pianoforte solo di Rossini. Si chiude con Verdi di cui si ascolteranno "Un'altra notte ancora senza vederlo... Tacea la notte placida... Di tale amor che dirsi" da Il trovatore e "Mercè dilette amiche" da I vespri siciliani.

So, you don’t know what had happened? News avoidance in a non-democracy, is it selfishness or self-preservation?

So, you don’t know what had happened? News avoidance in a non-democracy, is it selfishness or self-preservation?

News avoidance have been increasing on world-wide scale due to several reasons such as low trust in news providers, dissatisfaction with certain governments’ decisions, and a general feeling of powerlessness (Newman et al., 2019). This may also lead to low following and interaction with news pages websites or social media pages. Although it seems harder said than done in the age of digital media, it is fairly easy to dodge the news nowadays in spite of our phones being practically glued to our bodies. In fact, it can be managed to steer clear from political talk If you do not follow news pages, your friends don’t post about it and the algorithm makes sure you don’t see them as it learns your preferences (Amsalem & Zoizner, 2022). These explanations may apply profoundly in countries with authoritarian governments however, in an amplified manner. 

News media can affect their consumers in various psychological ways especially under dictatorial systems. It has been reported that the news can increase feelings of stress and anxiety consequent to stances of empathy, political pessimism, and optimism (McNaughton-Cassill, 2007). Subsequently in a non-democracy, individuals with high level of understanding of their political realities or injustices might be in greater dangers of these potential emotional consequences. Combined with feelings of helplessness towards their social reality and considering the consequences of any government opposing engagement in heavily censored spaces, may encourage people to halt any political interest or dialogue and transform into news avoiders. 

News avoidance can be attributed to lack of trust in government operated news media with little to no existence of independent media sources in authoritarian countries. For instance, thousands of propagated tweets have been used between 2015 to 2021 to twist truths and flood the internet with disinformation to distort international inquiries and efforts in the Syrian conflict. Similarly, framing of news was heavily utilized in China during the Arab Spring to change the narrative and strengthen the leadership and party’s authority via political pages and forums (Tang & Huhe, 2014). Propagated news feed has been used in multiple countries through digital and traditional media which is a core driver for dropping trust in news. Nonetheless, it is not exclusive to authoritarian systems as countries with governments democratically elected use news media to reassert their power and prevent opposition due to their authoritarian-leaning administrations (Walker & Orttung, 2014). This also may result in higher percentages of news avoiding behaviors in such countries.

So shunning news media and not following their pages might inspire news avoiders to feel spared from these hypothetical risks. Although this approach could indicate poor coping mechanisms with regards to negative emotions stemming from realities reported in the news. It may also seem like a sound practice to evade the news or engage in political conversations online or offline out of distrust in news media, however, to embrace the illusion of safety and comfort provided by lack of awareness on an individual level can have immense effects on the future societal level.

In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at the Greek media landscape. We’ll be asking why the public has little trust in the country’s media and examining what difficulties a local independent outlet faces as it tries to upset the established pattern of news coverage.

Our producer, Phoebe Fronista, speaks to MacroPolis features writer Georgia Nakou regarding the controversial 20-million-euro package provided by the Greek government to a variety of media outlets as part of the coronavirus campaign.

She also catches up with Dimitris Xenakis, the co-founder of Inside Story – a subscription-based investigative and long form journalism site in Athens - to get an idea of the obstacles his organisation has to overcome.

Our host, Nick Malkoutzis, has a discussion with Antonis Kalogeropoulos, a Communication and Media Lecturer at the University of Liverpool. Antonis was a research partner for annual Digital News Report published by the Reuters Institute in July. The report suggests that just 28 percent of Greeks trust most news most of the time, which was one of the lowest figures among the 40 countries surveyed.

MARIA CALLAS.. Tavaya tereyağını attı mı Bodrum sokaklarını buram buram tereyağı kokusu kaplardı. 1940 yıllarında Bodrum’un ilk ve tek lokantasıydı. Girit’ten göç etmiş bir aileye aitti. Bir gün Rodos valisi yanında bir heyetle Bodrum’a gelir. Kaymakam, eski Bodrum Belediye Binası meclis salonunda misafirlere yemekli bir davet verir. Meclis salonu resmi misafirleri ağırlama mekanıdır. (Kullanılan yemek takımları, porselenleri değerlidir. Eski Belediye Binası yıkılınca bir daha gören olmamıştır.) Yemekler, lokantada pişer, Meclis Salonunda lokanta sahibi aile tarafından misafirlere servis edilirmiş. Ailenin küçük oğlu Hasan, bu davette henüz 10-12 yaşında ve ağabeyi ile birlikte babasına yardım eder. Kaymakam, misafirlerini yemek sırasında folklor ekibi ve zeybek oyunları ile eğlendirir. Rodos valisi, bunun üzerine “Bizim de size bir hediyemiz olsun, bu küçük kızımız size bir şarkı söylesin” der ve kara kuru küçük bir kız çıkar şarkı söyler. 1960 yılları.. Hasan, Lokantayı artık kendisi işletir. Ve eski Raşit in kahvesinin sırasında yeni bir yer açar, ağabeyi ile birlikte. Adı; Körfez Restorandır artık. Bir gün büyük bir yat gelir Bodrum’a. Ahmet Ertegün’ün misafirleri, tekneden Ahmet Ertegün’ün evine geçerler. Evde misafirlere yemekli davet verilir. Yemekler her zaman olduğu gibi Körfez Restoran’da pişer, evde servis yapılır. Misafirlerden bir kadın “Ben, yıllar önce küçükken Bodrum’a gelmiştim bir grupla birlikte, Belediye Meclis Salonunda lezzetli yemekler yemiştim“ der. O esnada servis yapan Hasan, 10-12 yaşlarına, o ana gider: “ Ben küçüktüm o anı hatırlıyorum. Hatta küçük bir kız da şarkı söylemişti” der. Kadın, Hasan’a gülümseyerek bakar, “Arya söyleyen o küçük kız bendim” der. İşte o küçük kız; dünyaca ünlü Soprano Maria CALLAS’tır. (Anna Maria Cecilia Sofia Kalogeropoulos) Hasan Subaşıoğlu, Körfez restoranın sahibi, Erman Aras’ın eşi Filiz Aras’ın babasıdır.........
