Pera Film is hosting the screening of the documentary Maria by Callas: In Her Own Words, directed by Tom Volf, dedicated to the great soprano Maria Callas, in collaboration with the Greek Consulate General in Istanbul. The director Tom Volf will be in conversation following the screening of 23rd March at 19.00
Tom Volf discovered Maria Callas by accident, when he stumbled upon a recording of hers that captivated him. This passion pushed him to travel the world for 3 years in search of the true Maria Callas and meet the last survivors of her generation, her close friends, colleagues, and those who truly knew her.
Tom Volf has directed many short films about opera and was in charge of audiovisual communication at the Théâtre du Châtelet for three years. Among the many great figures he has interviewed are Placido Domingo, Sting, and David Cronenberg. He has also directed many corporate films and commercials.
The talk will be in English with simultaneous Turkish translation. Free admissions. Limited space, drop in, no reservations. No reservation, limited seats.
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century.
Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
