On August 4, 1953, Maria Callas performed Santuzza in Cavalleria rusticana for the last time, in the superb recording that became an absolute discographic reference, alongside Giuseppe Di Stefano, Anna Maria Canali and under the baton of Tullio Serafin. On the centenary anniversary of her birth and on the day of her last performance of the title role in Cavalleria rusticana (the same role, that of Santuzza, that recorded her absolute debut in a student production of Cavalleria rusticana and that allowed her to win the Conservatory prize on April 2, '39) the Mascagni Festival 2023 debuts with the show Callas@100, where Giuliana De Sio will play the role of the Divina, for the dramaturgy of Fulvio Venturi. The performance will be surrounded by some of the most important operatic arias from the celebrated soprano's repertoire.
