        Est: €650 - €750

        Callas, Maria. Due lettere autografe firmate con busta affrancata su carta intestata dall’albergo Waldorf Astoria di New York alla signora Giovanna Gorni a Foggia, nelle quali il soprano si mostra particolarmente devota a Padre Pio da Pietrelcina. Nella prima, datata ’25-1-58’, la Callas ringrazia di un ‘pensiero oltremodo squisito che ho accolto con grato animo di credente devota e fervida’. Nella seconda, successiva di poco più di un mese (‘2-3-58’), la cantante annuncia che ‘sto per tornare in Italia e debbo ritenermi assai soddisfatta dell’esito del mio lavoro fatto qui in America per quasi due metà… E mi corre l’obbligo di sentitamente ringraziarla per il pensiero Suo squisito nel volermi affidare alle preghiere di Padre Pio, preghiere che sono state accolte da chi tutto regola ed a tutto comanda…’. Bell'insieme.

        Callas, Maria. (1923-1977) & Di Stefano, Giuseppe. (1921 - 2008): Signed Large "I Vespri Siciliani" Poster

        Est: $1,200 - $1,600

        Evocative and colorful poster designed by Aligi Sassu for the 1973 Teatro Regio Torino production of Verdi's "I Vespri Siciliani." This special new production was in celebration of the reopening of the theatre after some 37 years since it had been destroyed in the Second World War. The opera was directed by Maria Callas, assisted by the tenor Giuseppe di Stefano. It was the only production ever directed by Callas. Both Callas and DiStefano have signed, inscribed and dated the poster in black ink, and Sassu has also signed in the lower right corner of the image itself. The Callas signature and inscription on the lighter side but fully visible. 26-1/2" x 38-3/4" poster was mounted on foam board. The edges are a little crushed with some white paper showing through and the reverse is stained. There are also some light stains to the left of Verdi's name. **Please note that additional shipping fees will apply and will be billed at cost to the buyer.

        Maria Callas (1923-1977) - Her personal collection of scores. 19th C-1970s

        Est: £12,000 - £18,000

        Maria Callas (1923-1977) [CALLAS, Maria (1923-1977)] – Her collection of musical scores, 19thC-1970s, chiefly 1940s-1950s. Approximately 290 items in total, mostly scores published in Milan by Ricordi, alongside editions from other Italian, French, German and English publishers, with most major composers of opera represented, the majority mid-20th century, scattered examples dating from the turn of the 20th century, along with librettos, aria sheets, song books and other printed and manuscript ephemera; a number of the scores with dedications from composers, librettists, and admirers; many of the scores marked and annotated for study by Maria Callas (her role underlined or the relevant parts of the score marked, page numbers added, scattered notes, generally in pen) and by other hands, often those of the conductors, and cuts to the music indicated by folded, stapled or glued pages; the scores apparently used by Callas for productions in which she performed, including Il pirata (liberally annotated by Callas: ‘tempo doppio p.108', '1/2 tono sotto tutto', 'stentato', 'ottava sopra') , Poliuto (cuts marked in blue crayon; presumably her working score for the 1960 performance at La Scala), Fedora (1898 score; annotated by Callas: ‘si dolce’, ‘attente’), Medea [Médée], La Valchiria [Die Walküre], Parsifal, and La sonnambula; for recordings she made, including Carmen, Il trovatore, Aroldo, Attila, Verdi’s Otello and Il Corsaro; and for parts she apparently studied but never performed, including Francesca da Rimini, Il crepuscolo degli dei [Götterdämmerung], Il Mitridate Eupatore, La battaglia di Legnano, Giovanna d'Arco, I due Foscari, Lucrezia Borgia (photocopied), Maria di Rohan, Gemma di Vergy, Rossini’s Otello, Beatrice di Tenda, and Idomeneo.Provenance: Maria Callas (1923-1977); c. 55 volumes in her personalised cloth bindings, in various colours, bearing the monogram ‘MC’ or ‘MMC’ [Maria Meneghiri Callas] on the spine – Sotheby’s Milan, 12 December 2007, (part of) lot 88.An important piece of opera history from the personal library of Maria Callas. The present scores are as enticing for the tangible connection they offer to the roles Callas came to define – her marked copies of Il pirata, Carmen and Poliuto are a highlight – as they are for tracing an alternate career of parts left un-sung: the duets marked in the score for Francesca da Rimini, for example, in which the titular role was famously taken by Magda Olivero in the 1959 La Scala production, offer a tantalising glimpse of the performances that might have been.
