Wow, a mulatta Anna Moffo! hehehe... She looks very beautiful (and her legs!) and sings perfectly. This aria is a masterpiece, just like every part of Porgy and Bess, a great opera. It's great to see this video of Moffo. Is she Bess or just Clara (who sings this aria originally)?
She's dressed as Bess, but it's supposed to be Clara (the woman rocking the baby) who sings this song at the beginning.

Anna Moffo - Sexy is as gorgeous does. I think she looks more "Italiana" in these videos. Thank you Gobrias.

Let's thank Gobrias. He taped every one of her 1964 and 1967 shows. Oh, gioia!

Think about the usual way Aida was portrayed in Italian productions even in the 60's.
