AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is an exceptionally rare, ultra-collectible historical document from Maria Callas’s legendary Paris debut performance at the Palais Garnier on December 19, 1958. Issued as a non-commercial ("hors commerce") premier worldwide release specially printed for gala attendees in a numbered run of only 1,000 copies (#145 pictured). Complete with the original silk cord/tassel binding and vintage Christian Dior ("Miss Dior") advertisement pages, making it an intersectional holy grail for opera historians, Callas audiophiles, and vintage haute-couture ephemera collectors.
