Maria Callas as 'Medea'
Maria Callas is making her debut in films. She's playing Medea, a part she has already made her own in the opera house, and she's playing it straight, without music. Pier Paolo Pasolini, who made Theorem and The Gospel According to St. Matthew, directs. Filming is now in progress among the strange, twisted rocks of central Turkey, and it was there that Release filmed Medea in the making and that Maria Callas spoke about this new and challenging step in her career.
