Un Ballo in Maschera - Naples 1859 Libretto Autographs Pianists American soprano (1906-1983)First edition libretto for a performance in Naples of Un Ballo In Maschera, in the same year or its world premiere in Rome (1859).

Libretto has no covers but is otherwise complete, 4. 25 x 6. 75 inches, in very good condition.
