Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Audiences in the Puerto Vallarta Romantic Zone will have a rare opportunity to revisit the golden age of opera this month. On Monday, January 12, at 5:00 pm, Coco Cabaret will host “A Tribute to Maria Callas – The Divine Drama,” a unique performance that celebrates the legacy of one of the 20th century’s most influential figures.
This long-awaited project brings the story of Maria Callas to life through a thematic and dramatized recital. Known to the world as “La Divina,” the American-born Greek soprano was celebrated for her impeccable bel canto technique and her ability to infuse deep dramatic intensity into every role. Her life off-stage was equally compelling, marked by a high-profile relationship with Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis. Though she spent her final years in quiet seclusion in Paris, her impact on the world of classical music remains unmatched.
The tribute is led by Vanessa Amaro, one of Mexico’s most distinguished professional opera singers. Amaro’s exquisite voice will guide the audience through the legendary arias that defined Callas’s career, offering an educational yet emotional look at the singer’s journey. The performance aims to do more than just recite music; it seeks to capture the spirit of a woman who transformed opera into a powerful, living art form.
Accompanying Amaro are two highly accomplished musicians who help create this immersive experience. Pianist Adriana María provides the foundational elegance of the score, while guest artist Manuel Alvarez Ruiz adds a melodic layer with the flute. Together, this trio recreates the atmosphere of a classic opera house, ensuring that the legendary voice of Callas is honored with the grace it deserves.
Tickets are available for this one-night-only performance, which promises to be a highlight of the local cultural season. For one afternoon, the lights will fade and the piano will breathe, allowing the enduring legacy of Maria Callas to take center stage once again.
