Anna Moffo was the femal opera star, when i was a child and this opera is the very best ever have been composed. This production is unbelieveable outstanding.
@elias12186 Terrible music, you say? That is your value judgement, but it is not shared by the thousands of people who watch this opera performed daily all round the world. You need to ask yourself why they find this music sublime, and you do not.
Moffo has a lovely voice. However, it was a mistake to mime this. Opera is a performance art - we need to see the great singers singing. Who wants to watch Federer miming winning Wimbledon, or Bolt miming breaking the 100M record?
Moffo's acting skills are in question - here she is saying goodbye forever to her great love, and she hardly looks at him. She looks bored.
This Traviata film is from 1968. It was made by her then husband who was a movie director (he also directed her '71 Lucia film). For me, Moffo is the best Violetta - the best sung, the best in appearance and in dramatization/acting. No one has moved me as much except for Beverly Sills' Violetta and Teresa Stratas in the 1982 Zefferelli movie. Moffo, Sills and Stratas are the finest Traviatas I've ever heard in my life, but Moffo is the greatest
this opera film must be the world heritage. anna moffo is a true violettad!

Make a movie of a opera isn't a good idea, opera is for theatres

I loved her face at the end. But for me the best endings ever were the ones with Callas.
