Over 50 years in the footsteps of Maria Callas, will once again be immortalized for new generations on the silver screen with Eva Mendes playing the legendary singer.
The Greek-American who was born in NYC but lived most of her childhood in Greece. She was one of the most renowned opera sopranos.
However, her personal life was filled with scandals that spanned as many notes as her solo pieces. As an extremely versatile singer, Maria´s repertoire was remarkable in both her musical as well as dramatic interpretations in opera houses throughout the world.
Maria Callas debuted in 1946 on the Chicago stage in Puccini’s "Turandot." She then moved to Italy where her career began to take off. By 1949, she was performing operas in Venice that were in several languages. This ushered her to international superstar status, and she was dubbed “The Bible of Opera” by Leonard Bernstein. She performed until 1965 but her long term affair with Aristotle Onassis is what many have never forgotten
The upcoming biopic, starring Eva, is based on a book of Callas´s tumultuous affairs, titled "Greek Fire." According to Eva, it is a role she could not miss out on. This seems to be the shining year for Eva, as she has just sign on as the face behind Thierry Mugler´s perfume, and replacing Naomi Watts.
Eva Mendes´s costumes for the file will be the best of couture going as Maria Callas always hailed front row seats for the Parisian runways. Ms. Callas adored Gucci bags and the authentic Gucci Monogram D-Ring Shoulder Handbag would have been one in her vast if it were around during her time.
Made of GG monogram canvas, and detailed light gold tone hardware, this bag just spells out elegant casual and quiet class. It is defined by its slouchy shape with pleated base. And of course its namesake, the large D-ring engraved with the Gucci name adorning the front and restated on the top leather trim in gold script makes the bag a sure hit.
All trimmings are done up in dark chocolate leather, including the used bag´s comfy leather shoulder strap.
The interior is extremely sizable and the pre-owned Gucci will superbly hold all your essentials in style. It securely closes with a top zipper with a leather pull. Inside are two pockets, one a zip and the other prefect to store a cell phone.
An authentic Gucci Monogram D-Ring Shoulder Bag speaks perfection just as the opera diva, Maria Callas, did in the concert halls throughout her career.
