A new museum honoring legendary soprano Maria Callas will open in Athens next year to honor the centenary of her birth, the city said on Oct. 26.

The museum, to open in the summer of 2023, will feature "valuable historical archives, rare live recordings, a unique collection of records and personal items" of Callas, said a statement.

Forty years after her death, the personal life of opera great Maria Callas still has a rapt audience. 

An exhibition in Athens, called "Maria Callas - The Myth Lives On," is displaying 200 personal items belonging to the star, including some never put on display before, offering a rare glimpse into her personal life until her death in 1977.

Even as relations between Athens and Berlin come under strain due to tough bailout negotiations, Greece?s embassy in Germany has been without a representative for months.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday will chair an interministerial meeting on the issue of increased migration flows, according to an official announcement.
