New Orleanians pronounce it the second way.

If you're in NOLA, then it's the second.

The second one, but the first one is more fun to say.

See if it was safe outside
And little early-pearly
Came by in his curly-wurly
And asked me if I needed a ride
The CALLY-OPE crashed to the ground

The rest of the free world...
Cally-ope is occasionally used only for the instrumental...
Proper noun should be the Greek name, hence cull I O pee...but nola gonna nola

The first is an instrument. The second is a Greek muse. Calliope and surrounding streets were named after Greek muses. I’ll let you figure out which is correct.
