Rigoletto, Anna Moffo

[wbondar]

Wonderful, just love this girl!! Thanks for posting.

[shishirth]

Anna Moffo is superb in Verdi

[antidoto1978]

The wrong portrait is due to a mistake I made when I created the video. I am so sorry about that, but... you can always listen to Callas' voice with your eyes closed: Callas will help you dream!

@antidoto1978

great! we simultaneously get to hear the beautiful anna moffo and see the likeness of the great callas. this is such a beautiful aria - and it is wonderful to salute these two wonderful divas in the same moment. imho your mistake was pure serendipity.

bravo/a for this lovely upload.

Don't post the wrong portrait with the wrong singer please.....no offense to Callas or Moffo....they are both great!

[GoldenAgeSunshine]

What's the link between this portrait of Callas and the "Caro nome" from Rigoletto sung by splendid Anna Moffo? The portrait is not too bad, actually! And I would suggest to correct the spelling of Rigoletto ... Thanks for posting anyway

[branko1b]

i agree it's a very 'friendly' portrait of callas

with no offense to callas fans - i prefer not only moffo's voice, but would prefer her image too

sorry, french is not one of languages i speak, so i don't get earlier references to the same point - ... huh, i'm always weary of ferocious callas fans...

[mariasarda]

Superbe voix, fruitée et rayonnante comme un matin de printemps, d'une douceur caressante et enveloppante. Mais pourquoi avoir choisi un portrait de Callas, alors ? J'ai pas tout compris...

[GoldenAgeSunshine]

Merci, c'est ce que je viens de poster comme question. C'est ridicule d'autant plus qu'entre Callas et Moffo (hormis l'enregistrement de Bohème) il n'y a aucun lien! Mais bon ... L'enregistrement est excellent, même si Gilda n'est pas pour la magnifique Moffo.

[mariasarda]

C'est tout à fait vrai !! Ma foi, c'est bizarre, car leurs deux voix étaient radicalement opposées. Seuls leurs physiques de reines étaient peut-être à rapprocher. Mais leurs rôles, pas vraiment. L'une (Moffo) avait le rire dans la voix, et l'autre, (Callas), le drame absolu. J'adore les deux pour leurs qualités respectives, mais bon, j'ai encore pas tout compris...

[ioSonoCallas]

Lisez mon commentaire réponse à mariasarda, à bientôt!

[GoldenAgeSunshine]

Merci beaucoup. Il devrait réellement corriger le titre et écrire Rigoletto correctement. Mais en fait le tableau n'est pas mal. Et bien sûr, la sublissime voix de la belle Anna Moffo est un rayon de miel doré sur ce panorama audiovisuel qui souvent, laisse tant à désirer! Les légendes ne meurent jamais!

[ioSonoCallas]

La raison du portrait de Callas sur cet extrait chanté par Moffo est due au fait que lorsque antidoto1978 a publié cette vidéo il y a 13 mois maintenant, il avait attribué par erreur ou méconnaissance cet extrait de Rigoletto à Callas. Il a finalement changé le titre de sa vidéo au bout de quelques mois et aprés plusieurs dizaines de commentaires lui indiquant l'erreur! Mais hélas il n'a pas changer le portrait, ça peux se comprendre car ça l'obligerai à remonter toute sa vidéo!

[profgv]

I wish someone could post the live Met 1968 Rigoleto with super exciting singing by Moffo and Bergonzi.

[patjan92]

Klassizismus posted most of the performance. Merrill is great also.

[eleanorgloria]

It's too bad you have this posted along with a portrait of Callas (which is beautiful). This by far my favourite recording of this beautiful aria. Anna Moffo is charming,youthful,as Gilda yet full of passion and grace throughout the colouratura. Her musicality is unique, and priceless. Thank you for posting this anyway.

[ci8lo]

bhuahuah è la moffo :P il quadro è carino...chi sa di chi è...ehehe

[Timishead]

ANNA MOFFO! Hottest singer ever

[289cerritos]

@Timishead Saw you comment about Anna Moffo from some time ago, she was fabulous and seems to never get the attention she deserves.

[VivaMariaCallas]

Moffo's vocal timbre is so beautiful, BTW.

[figaronight4]

The UGLY Callas wasn't enigmatic!!!

She was perfect ¿¿¿¿¿?????? let me laugh: ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha- HO-HO-HO-HO-HO!!!!!!!!

She had a lot of trademark FAULTS on her UNPOLISHED metallic voice (no tone, no control....and more).

NOT MENTION HER DISASTROUS AND FRAYED "COLORATURA" = UNSTEADY and WEAK HIGH NOTES.

YOU ARE DREAMING!!!!!!

She is SCREAMING horribly singing O MIO Babbino Caro in London. No control, no tone, NO VOICE.

VOICE OUT OF TUNE

[ricardofidelis]

Hj faz 30 anos de sua morte. o mundo sente sua falta.

[lukka1905]

Sublime, magestuosa,única e insuperable Diva hermosa siempre viva, Bravo, So beatiful, wonderful, only my Diva Fron Colombia to world

[Elisabetta611]

That's another sublime Gilda, Anna Moffo.

[Batistabomb999]

che splendida interpretazione!!! Molto meglio di quanto avrebbe fatto la Callas...

[operareviewer]

Horrible voice!

[saverioorlando]

you are insulting la Moffo!

[vincenzino84]

Buona interpretazione......ma NON E' MARIA CALLAS...

[topogiorno1980]

How dare you to post this as Maria Callas. This is Anna Moffo, another DIVA of the 60's & 70's. You should be a bit more prepared before posting something in the name of La DIVINA, La Callas!!! :)

[operachad]

Let me pile it on....this is NOT Callas

[ioSonoCallas]

Ce n'est pas maria Callas mais Anna Moffo! this is not Maria Callas but she is Anna Moffo!!!

[rafenuve]

this is not Maria Calas ,,,,,

[atpa5021]

not Callas

[mkninja23]

definitely NOT callas, guys.

[miguelcortinhas]

it's very similar on the high notes, but in the low notes it's very diferent. but callas have a "multitones" in her vocal strings... it can be her!!

[linhcba]

I'm unsure if this is Maria Callas. Maybe this came from the studio recording of 'Rigoletto' conducted by Tullio Serafin, in 1955? It could be as Maria's vocal decline started to show in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It's a beautiful, colourful and expressive voice.

[dural]

lolol defenetly, NOT.

[mimimi17]

good but this singer isn't Maria Callas!

[PucciniTosca]

Maybe you made a wrong 'clic' when you were making this video, I'm absolutely sure that this isn't Maria Callas! But, good singing!
