in blue felt tip. 3½x5½. B/w, 3½x5½. Maria Cebotari (1910-1949) was a
celebrated Romanian soprano and actress, and one of the greatest opera
stars in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s. Beniamino Gigli
considered Cebotari one of the greatest voices he ever heard, and even Maria
Callas was compared to her; Angela Gheorghiu cited Maria Cebotari
among the artists she admires the most. Beside her successful career at the
opera houses, Cebotari appeared in many films related to opera-such as
"Verdi's Three Women", "Maria Malibran" and "The Dream of Madame Butterfly".
Maria Cebotari also played in the movie "Odesa in fiamme (Odessa in
flames)" in 1942, directed by Carmine Gallope. Several of her
surviving recordings are from live performances-either in the opera houses or in
the studio for radio broadcast. They have now been almost all digitally
remastered and their general quality is remarkable. Sadly, Maria succumbed to
lung cancer in June 9, 1949. Her funeral was one of the most imposing
demonstrations of love and honor any deceased artist has ever received in
Vienna's history. Lightly toned and soiled. Ink smeared. Surface slightly
creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
