There are no videos of complete Callas operatic performances - as
for Butterfly the only time she sang it live was in Chicago in 1955
(The famous process server incident) and a recording has never
surfaced, There is a tiny bit of film available of Butterflys entrance
filmed from the wings. Wagner fan

The closest thing we have for completes are the two Tosca's Act Two
- one from the the 1958 Paris Gala and the famous 1964 that was filmed
at Covent Garden. We also have two complete video concerts from
Germany in 1959 and 1962. There are also a number of video
documentaries about her life that have more material Wagner fan
