This copy of the programme is in very good condition. It measures 9.75” x 7.25”. The staples show no sign of discolouration and are tight to the pages.

Interestingly, there are two London newspaper cutting (see photograph) which report on Callas returning to London. The actual paper has discoloured with time.

There is also a £10 Stalls ticket stub within the programme.

AN INTERESTING PIECE OF MUSICAL MEMORABILIA, BOTH MARIA CALLAS AND GIUSEPE DI STEFANO, FROM NEARLY 35 YEARS AGO

HAPPY BIDDING

GENERAL THOUGHTS

I prefer payment by Paypal (quicker and safer) or by Sterling Cheque. Once payment is received/cleared, I post items within two days. I post worldwide at buyer’s expense and will use any postal service needed; expensive items must be registered/suitably insured.

On ebay I always provide and receive friendly contacts. I am proud of a 100% positive feedback rating and trust our dealings will maintain that record.
