Un Ballo in Maschera Signed Score

Score for Un Ballo in Maschera, signed on the title page, personal copy that belonged to Maria Callas. 

Callas´ signature is in red crayon on the frontend page, same one used to mark her role, Amelia, in most of the score. This is a vintage printed score, which also has a signature dated in 1944 and handwriting by another hand, in black ink, with translation of the Italian lyrics into Greek.

There are also some pencil marks by others, a few clearly by Callas (see pages 238 and 283), besides her red crayon signature and markings. There are also blue crayon markings, probably by a conductor (see page 232), and some pages bear an ink stamp from a previous ownership (violinist Nicolas Coliyas). 

Binding is crack open, and together with the spine are in need of restoration, some cracks on paper in some pages, but in overall good condition, easy to restore if desired. See scans of most significant pages, not all pages with markings are shown.

Published by Ricordi, Milan, 309 numbered pages plus some extras at the end, 8.2 x 10.8 inches.
