In this last time travel to Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, year 1952, we will witness a good variety of titles that show the wide range of roles and the versatility of her voice. Achievements that would add to would later be known as La Divina.
The result is a little uneven, with Rigoletto standing on the way and whose results are not that good, as she herself would admit years later.
Few times have the Orchestra and the Choir honored the singer and this farewell is wrapped up with one of the most touching moments in the history of this Opera house.
As a reference you can also check on Sophia Lambton's book, the author of The Callas Imprint - A centennial biography, which you can find in most of the world through Amazon.
