  • 1. Early Years: Maria Before La Callas 2. Metamorphosis
    ! 1. EARLY YEARS: MARIA BEFORE LA CALLAS Maria Callas was born in New York on 2nd December 1923, the daughter of Greek parents. Her name at birth was Maria Kalogeropoulou. When she was 13 years old, her parents separated. Her mother, who was ambitious for her daughter’s musical talent, took Maria and her elder sister to live in Athens. There Maria made her operatic debut at the age of just 15 and studied with Elvira de Hidalgo, a Spanish soprano who had sung with Enrico Caruso. Maria, an intensely dedicated student, began to develop her extraordinary potential. During the War years in Athens the young soprano sang such demanding operatic roles as Tosca and Leonore in Beethoven’s Fidelio. In 1945, Maria returned to the USA. She was chosen to sing Turandot for the inauguration of a prestigious new opera company in Chicago, but it went bankrupt before the opening night. Yet fate turned out to be on Maria’s side: she had been spotted by the veteran Italian tenor, Giovanni Zenatello, a talent scout for the opera festival at the Verona Arena. Callas made her Italian debut there in 1947, starring in La Gioconda by Ponchielli. Her conductor, Tullio Serafin, was to become a decisive force in her career. 2. METAMORPHOSIS After Callas’ debut at the Verona Arena, she settled in Italy and married a wealthy businessman, Giovanni Battista Meneghini. Her influential conductor from Verona, Tullio Serafin, became her musical mentor. She began to make her name in grand roles such as Turandot, Aida, Norma – and even Wagner’s Isolde and Brünnhilde – but new doors opened for her in 1949 when, at La Fenice opera house in Venice, she replaced a famous soprano in the delicate, florid role of Elvira in Bellini’s I puritani.

    Fondazione ARENA di VERONA Bilancio di Esercizio 2015 1 Fondazione ARENA di VERONA Via Roma, 7/D – 37121 VERONA Numero R.E.A. 301845 Codice Fiscale e Registro Imprese di Verona n. 00231130238 Registro delle Persone Giuridiche n. 5P del 18/04/2002 2 3 4 Fondazione ARENA di VERONA RELAZIONE SULLA GESTIONE 5 RELAZIONE SULLA GESTIONE Il bilancio consuntivo 2015 chiude con una perdita pari a euro 1.390.125. Nonostante il risultato negativo, la situazione di Fondazione Arena di Verona appare in netto miglioramento rispetto al precedente esercizio, come meglio successivamente evidenziato nella sezione della presente relazione in c ui si illustrano i principali dati economici. Il margine operativo lordo risulta infatti nettamente positivo per Euro 3.285 migliaia rispetto all’equivalente dato 2014, pari a – Euro 2.663 migliaia, così come il margine operativo risulta solo leggermente n egativo ( - Euro 60 migliaia). Perdura, come nei due esercizi precedenti, la sofferenza legata alla flessione costante dei contributi pubblici. A fronte del venir meno degli apporti da parte dei tradizionali Enti che a veva no in passato sostenuto Fondazione Arena di Verona , tuttavia, altri Enti, sia pubblici che privati e operanti nel territorio veronese, hanno deliberato importanti contributi a favore della Fondazione, incentivati, questi ultimi, dalla rilevanza dei benefici fiscali previsti dal cosiddetto “Art bonus” del quale hanno potuto usufruire. Le vendite di biglietteria, dopo un notevole calo registrato nel 2014, nel 2015 sono rimaste sostanzialmente invariate. Purtroppo permane, dall’anno 2008, un contesto socio - economico sempre caratterizzato dalla crisi finanziaria internazionale e in particolare, da quella italiana che penalizza i consumi in tutti i settori, senza ovviamente escludere l’assistere ad uno spettacolo dal vivo, la cui fruizione viene considerata voluttuaria rispetto all’acquisto di be ni di primaria necessità.
