  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Maria Callas (1923-1977) sang on the stage of La Scala for thirteen years. She debuted in 1950 with Verdi's Aida and her farewell came in 1962 with Cherubini's Medea. In that brief, dazzling time the Greek singer forever changed the image of the diva and her rapport with the public.No longer a credible nightingale, the artist became an actress, a refined narrator, choralist, and her own director. Callas' stage movements, her sculpted poses, her infinite range of facial and gestural expressions were the cornerstones of legendary performances, above all La Triviata directed by Luchino Visconti in 1955. Now, thirty years after her death, the Teatro alla Scala celebrates this most loved and talked-about diva, a peerless artist who became an icon of modernity.
