The Hellenic American Women's Council (HAWC) is thrilled to announce an exclusive online presentation by renowned author Nicholas Gage on his Book 'Greek Fire'. This novel is the story of the heated relationship of Opera Diva Maria Callas and shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis. Published in 2000, Greek Fire is a comprehensive volume on the love affair of Callas and Onassis. It is considered the most historically accurate and brought to light new information never released to the public.
Callas and Onassis scandalized and fascinated the world from the moment they met in 1959 during a cruise on the fabled yacht ‘Christina’. In the decades since, dozens of books have been written about the incandescent diva who transformed opera and the Promethean tycoon who revolutionized international shipping, but none has focused on the tempestuous relationship between them, which is widely thought to have collapsed following Onassis' celebrated marriage to Jacqueline Kennedy in 1968.
HAWC invites all to attend Gage's retelling of the mesmerizing story of 'Greek Fire' in honor of Callas 100 - the celebration of Maria Callas 100 year since her birth on December 2, 1923. Register for the zoom discussion at bit.ly/HAWCGreekFire Journalist and Author Maria Karamitsos, also known as the Windy City Greek, will be conducting the interview and handling the questions and answers from the audience.
Additional ways to celebrate 'Callas 100' include listening to her music and visiting the newly opened Maria Callas Museum in Greece. Both the NIcholas Gage Books and the Maria Callas Music are available on Amazon.com.
