In the Eroica Hall of the Austrian Theater Museum in the Lobkowitz Palace, I was both a fortunate participant and observer of a wonderful talk given by Christa Ludwig, a former opera star about her time in the limelight together with Maria Callus.
Month: June 2006
At the end of the Christa Ludwig’s talk, Vienn State Opera principal dancer Simona Noja danced a short solo a five minute excerpt from Maria Callus’s famous performance of Violetta (Verdi’s La Traviata)…. I shot vertically as I find the horizontal frame of a television extremely unattractive for a dance solo, particularly in a room like the Eroica Sall in the Austrian Theatre Museum.

For more pictures of Simona Noja as Maria Callas, please visit my friend photographer Anton Hoellersberger who took some wonderful photographs during the filming.
