Callas, Maria - Signed Photo in La Vestale Rehearsal 1975
Star Greek-American soprano (1923-1977), wonderful, rare photograph showing her in November 1954, during rehearsals for the La Scala production of "La Vestale". This was the famous production of Luchino Visconti, the first of 5 opera productions he would do with Callas.
Callas is discussing with 3 conductors: Arturo Toscanini on the left, Victor de Sabata, standing and facing front, and conductor of this production Antonino Votto, seen from behind.
Boldly signed by her with a white-inked felt tip pen, signature dated by her in 1975, inscribed to Italian tenor Ferrando Ferrari.Ā
Mounted on a flat wood that is 0.4 inches thick, size is 11.75 x 9.25 inches, Some retouches at the top border since parts of the photo paper was lost, some at the bottom as well, not affecting the signature nor the images. In overall very good condition, can be framed or hung on a wall as is.
An extremely rare and informal image of the star soprano, with 3 important directors - first time we have seen it signed by her.
