Details & Composition Details & Composition The Montblanc Maria Callas Special Edition Ruby-Coloured is dedicated to one of the most charismatic sopranos of the 20th century and appreciated style icon. With her talent, passion and personality, she embodied a certain ideal of the operatic diva. In some of the world’s greatest opera houses, from La Scala in Milan, to the Paris Opera, to New York’s Metropolitan Opera, she was known as “La Divina” – the divine one. The edition celebrates her sparkling life in the spotlight as an operatic diva, with the precious resin of the cap and barrel rendered in a rich ruby hue, while reflecting Maria Callas’s graceful beauty in its slender, elegant silhouette. The platinum-coated clip is decorated with a synthetic stone whose vibrant ruby color is inspired by her profound love for opulent ruby jewelry. Its delicate petal shape pays homage to a new rose named after Maria Callas in 1965, honoring her deep affection for these flowers. A costume detail from one of her recognizable bel canto roles, Bellini’s “Norma”, is reflected in a pattern of laurel leaves surrounding the platinum-coated cone of the edition along with the embossed signature of the celebrated soprano.
