The foundation of a museum dedicated to the worldwide famous diva Maria Callas, that will open its gates to the public in 2015, was announced by the City of Athens Cultural Organisation .
The museum will be housed in a 3-floor neo-classical building at 44, Mitropoleos street in the center of Athens. The visit will start from the second floor , where visitors will be initiated to the meaning of the opera. Next, they will enter to four "theme" rooms dedicated to her major roles of "Norma", " Tosca" and "Violetta" (in "La Traviata") and also to her different role as a teacher at Juilliard of New York.
At the first floor of the museum there will be a presentation of the life and the career of the great opera singer . At the ground floor there will be the bistro " La Divina" and a theme shop and at the third floor a mediatheque and a room for temporary exhibitions, educational programs and small concerts .
This museum is the least that Athens can do to honor the legendary Greek performer, the great diva of the opera.
