* * * COLLECTOR’S ITEM * * * EXTREMELY RARE * * * NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE * * * MARIA CALLAS AS LADY MACBETH Experience the very first live performance of Verdi’s Macbeth with this EXTREMELY RARE vinyl recording released EXCLUSIVELY in Italy. GIUSEPPE VERDI MACBETH Starring MARIA CALLAS Conducted by VICTOR DE SABATA Recorded LIVE at LA SCALA THEATER December 1952 * FIRST LIVE PERFORMANCE * * ONLY RELEASED IN ITALY * * ORIGINAL SEALED COPY * OPERA LIVE Catalog No. CETRA LO 10 (3) ATTENTION COLLECTORS: “Callas’s Lady Macbeth (a role she was singing for the first time the night it was recorded) is astonishing: full-bodied, possessed and authentically dangerous…” Callas made only five performances as Lady Macbeth in Verdi’s production of Macbeth at La Scala in Milan; this live recording captured forever her premiere onstage on the opening night of the 1952-3 La Scala season in December 1952. There are those who believe that this performance is one of the great representative performances of her career. “[Her] performance electrifies the senses.” A rare gem for true opera enthusiasts and collectors, this three disc vinyl record set features the most famous female opera star the world has ever seen in a role that “she was born to play.” Experience the sumptuous sound at the heart of Callas’ artistry with this original recording of her on stage performance at one of the world’s greatest opera houses and hear the legend come to life. “…an invaluable record of how the legendary soprano sounded on stage.” Maria Callas was only 28 or 29 years old when she performed this role. Her international renown came later, but in Italy she had already established a reputation as a prima donna sensation. Opera news journalist, Fred Cohn, wrote for Opera News that her performance in Verdi’s Macbeth were among “the most beautiful sounds [he] had ever heard.” “Callas sang Lady Macbeth in complete performance only five times…[but] the recording explains why all subsequent interpreters of the role have had to contend with her legacy. A forceful validation of her reputation as an operatic actress, it also shows that Callas was, first and foremost, a musician. She achieves her overpowering depiction of malignancy through scrupulous fidelity to the score and her ability to realize the implications in Verdi’s writing. In her entrance aria, “Vieni, t’affretta,” the sharp attack and articulation of dotted rhythms propel the piece’s polacca rhythm and viscerally set forth the character’s malevolence. In the cabaletta to the Act I duet after the murder of Duncan, when Lady Macbeth dismisses her husband’s trepidations with a series of sixteenth-note figures, Callas demonstrates the same florid technique that she brought to Rossini. But here it serves another purpose entirely, conveying at once Lady Macbeth’s steely resolve, her impatience with her husband and, underneath, pervasive anxiety. The fragile core within the cruel exterior emerges in the sleepwalking scene, which in Callas’s detailed but epic reading is a portrait of a soul unraveled by evil. It’s like witnessing the sudden collapse of a grand and forbidding edifice.” — Fred Cohn, Opera News The other key collaborator in the La Scala production is Victor de Sabata whose conducting is superb. “Conductor Victor de Sabata’s reading is taut, propulsive and thrilling from first note to last. Orchestral balances are exactly weighted: in the exemplary work of the Scala players, every note makes its effect. The whole has a Shakespearean sweep: the performance makes you realize how thoroughly Verdi captured the Bard’s spirit. This edition… presents as satisfying a version of the performance as can be wished.” — Fred Cohn, Opera News MADE IN ITALY “FOR ITALY ONLY” This is a COLLECTOR’S PIECE that is NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. This particular edition was Made In Italy and was for sale exclusively in Italy. It was never available for sale in any country outside of Italy and is beyond rare.

Preserved in its original unopened packaging, this three piece LP set is essentially brand new. SLEEVE CONDITION: VG+ Front cover is nearly flawless except for a very small mark at the bottom right corner. Three of the four sides are nearly perfect, but there is some minor damage along the bottom where the plastic has split. [Note: The plastic seam is still intact in such a way that you can tell this album has never been taken out of its original packaging.] Minor flaws are primarily located on the back cover near the bottom and along the flat of the bottom side/edge. All imperfections are superficial; none compromise structural integrity of the sleeve or the records inside. Considering its age, it’s really been maintained well and, overall, is in really great shape.

Her legend has ever faded: she remains the supreme singing-actress, the unsurpassed diva, and the glamorous style icon whose private life was often as dramatic as one of the tragic heroines she portrayed on stage. ____________ PLEASE REFERENCE PHOTOS FOR ACCURATE LOOK AT CONDITION Please Note: I took care to photograph the album from multiple angles to provide you with the best true-to-life view of all of its corners and sides as well as the front and back covers, so please review them closely.
