I love watching her turn on the acting, when the order is given to "let her say those words".

Anna did a program for Opera at Florham in Madison , NJ at FDU. Mario Andretti sent her roses. My mother tipped off Mario that she would be there. She was great .. wonderful.. God Love her!

Great lady, great artist.

This just might be a good place for me to THANK YOU TUBE for omitting a certain selection from appearing. I believe it was one that really did harm to all concerned...the performer and the listeners as well. THANK YOU so very much!

[kasha1932]

Thanks so very much,stevetexon! As you might know by now, I am, and have been a great admirer of ANNA MOFFO for many years, and was fortunate enough to see and hear here twice while she was in the Detroit area. She was absolutely captivating onstage, and we enjoyed her so much we returned the next evening. We were so close she actually smiled at us, I'm sure. I believe she was just too, too great for most people (vocalists) to really acknowledge as much as she deserved. None can compare!

[stevetexon]

Surely, and thanks for asking. The interview took place in the beautiful apartment of my late parents, on West End Avenue in New York City, in the Summer of 2003. As you can see she retained her stunning beauty all her life. Her premature death came only several years later. She was a true DIVA with the grace and warmth of a Tebaldi!

[adolfoa1961]

@stevetexon : Renata Tebaldi and Anna Moffo were both the two most beautiful, stunning, charismatic women ever seen on opera stage

[stevetexon]

Yes indeed! Ms Moffo's tribute and recollections are part of the comprehensive full length DVD Tribute to Robert Merrill, soon to be released.

[kasha1932]

@stevetexon Can you tell us what year this interview took place? I'd love to know!

[kasha1932]

@stevetexon A full length Tribute to Rober Merill? Wonderful. I will be looking forward to it very much. Thank you for alerting me to this future gem!

[mazzone1]

How lovely. Any more?

[SHICOFF1]

Moffo talking about Robert Merrill. She said much the same thing about him during a lecture I attended in Chicago. She said he had the most beautiful voice she ever was on stage with.
