Playbill for the first production of Verdi’s Aida in which Callas made her debut at La Scala, Milan. The playbill announces the performance for the 18th of April 1950, just 6 days after the premiere. 39 by 28 cms. In very nice state, printed in brown and red. It gives details of the opera, the singers including Callas and Mario del Monaco, the ballerinas, the conductor (Franco Capuana) and other important persons including Benois who designed the stage scenes. A rare memento.
