MEDEA (1969) Italian poster

Vintage original 38 x 26 ” (67 x 97 cm.) fotobusta poster, Italy. Maria Callas, dir: Pier Paolo Pasolini; Euro International. The legendary diva Maria Callas only did one film, in which she played the role of Medea (in Pasolini’s interpretation of the character in Euripides). Interestingly, Callas had portrayed Medea much earlier in her career, since she performed the Cherubini opera Medea at La Scala in 1953, under the baton of a young Leonard Bernstein.
This is one of the best poster images of her in this movie. On linen, with minor touch-ups to address small tears and scuffs, FINE-.
