“Drama Queen” brings together the most dramatic studio recordings ever made by Maria Callas during the course of her career. Or, to express it more accurately, this compilation brings together some of the most dramatic operatic scenes and arias ever recorded. Even four decades after her death in Paris in 1977, what the director Franco Zeffirelli said about her still holds true today: there is a “BC” and “AC” era – “before Callas” and “after Callas”

The tracks on this album were recorded over a period of no less than 16 years. The earliest, the two versions of Donna Anna’s Non mi dir, date from 1953, and were intended to test microphone placings before Callas made her first commercial recording for EMI - Lucia di Lammermoor.
