This Halloween, the long-deceased opera star Maria Callas is returning for a one-night-only concert in Dallas. No, not as a ghost — as a hologram.

Broadway Dallas and The Dallas Opera have partnered to present this surreal event by BASE Xperiential, a Houston-based company that counts Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, and Whitney Houston as part of its hologram library.

These celebrity holograms "perform" in a wide range of venues, from casinos and cruise ships to theme parks and museums. Maria Callas in Concert: The Hologram Tour is part of the Music Hall at Fair Park's Centennial celebration.

Here's why: In November 1957, the Dallas Civic Opera (now The Dallas Opera) officially opened with a headlining concert starring Maria Callas at the State Fair Music Hall (now Music Hall at Fair Park). Callas, even then the most famous diva in the world, was accompanied by Maestro Nicola Rescigno and The Dallas Civic Opera Orchestra. Callas died in 1977.

“The incomparable diva Maria Callas is lovingly entwined with the heart of The Dallas Opera," says Ian Derrer, The Dallas Opera’s general director and CEO. "Her 1957 opening night concert set the bar for our company’s artistic standards. We are thrilled to partner with Broadway Dallas to relive Callas’ incredible legacy — and with it, an important part of Dallas history.”

“Partnering with The Dallas Opera to present this groundbreaking new way to experience an important piece of Dallas history is extremely exciting for all of us," says Ken Novice, president and CEO of Broadway Dallas. "The combination of tradition and technology perfectly suits our celebration of the Music Hall Centennial as we reflect on the past and look toward the future.”

Featuring the legendary soprano’s digitally remastered recordings, this October 31 evening concert will include iconic arias from Bellini, Bizet, Verdi, Puccini, Gounod, and more, with live accompaniment from The Dallas Opera Orchestra.

Tickets are on sale now and are available exclusively through Broadway Dallas.
