Montblanc Muses - Maria Callas

Montblanc's new Special Edition Muses range celebrates Maria Callas' 100th Birthday and pays tribute to one of the most famous opera singers from the 20th century. The special edition Muses collection of writing instruments pays homage to her incredible talent and unforgettable style. Maria Callas was known as “La Divina” (the divine one), and performed in some of the world's most well known opera houses such as Milan, New York and in Paris.

The range of pens consist of a turquoise barrel and cap, which was one of her favourite colours. Each writing instrument has a matching turquoise stone which is supposed to represent the Aegean Sea, which surrounded her hometown in Greece. The pens in this Muses collection is embossed with a pattern of laurel leaves, a reference to Callas's performance in Bellini’s Norma. In the opera, Callas played the part of a druid priestess, and during her performance of the aria "Casta Diva," she wore a flowing white robe and a laurel wreath crown.

The Montblanc Muses collection is dedicated to women who have made significant contributions to culture. Each pen is designed to reference special qualities of the women it is named after. The writing instruments all come in a special edition gift box and will be a great collector's item for any Maria Callas and Opera fan. In conclusion, the Maria Callas Montblanc Muses collection is a special tribute to an iconic opera singer and consists of a fountain pen, rollerball pen, ballpoint pen, and a #146 Fine Stationery notebook. It combines artistry and craftsmanship to reflect the unique qualities and achievements of Maria Callas, making it a fitting addition to Montblanc's Muses Special Edition collection. Other previous ranges released by Montblanc include Marylin Monroe and Elisabeth Taylor.
