Brecht called for a didactic theater of ideology; Ghelderode scorned ideologies and celebrated the theater of magic, spectacle and mystery.

Also, she may be gambling with her voice's future by singing taxing roles at such an early age. Still, such all-or-nothing assaults on the heights are in the spirit of Callas' own career, and the older soprano may have...
