Diva: Wanstead Book Festival presents Daisy Goodwin

Thursday 19 September at 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

New York Times bestselling author Daisy Goodwin tells the story of a scandalous love affair between the most celebrated opera singer in history, Maria Callas, and one of the richest men in the world. Callas’s glorious voice, instinctive flair for the dramatic and striking beauty made her the toast of opera houses all over the world. But when she met Aristotle Onassis she thought she had found someone who saw her for being the woman Maria, rather than being the superstar Callas. It’s a world filled with characters like Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor and, of course, former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. It’s all makes for a true Greek tragedy, told by Goodwin with extraordinary skill.
