Renata Tebaldi in Verdi's Traviata "Alfredo, Alfredo, di questo core" finale act II

Arena Flegrea, San Carlo 1954. Tullio Serafin conducting. La Traviata is so much more than Sempre Libera, unfortunately only very few sopranos seem to know it. Tebaldi was the first Violetta who moved me and revealed the beauty and emotions of Verdi's music, especially in scenes like this.

It's fascinating to listen to Virginia Zeani in the same scene also from the Arena Flegrea just posted by Scala977

Yes, Zeani succeeded Tebaldi at San Carlo's Traviata productions and sang the role for many years. The Traviata programme of the theatre has beautiful pictures of both of them.

!!! SUBLIME COMO SIEMPRE !!! LA MÁS HERMOSA VOZ QUE HA EXISTIDO.

The beauty of her singing was amazing....beautiful legato, phrasing, and beauty of tone. I was not particularly fond of her upper register, but when it came to moments like this that separate the real singers from the flash in the pan stars, Tebaldi always excelled. Beautiful!

Bellissimo

Tebaldi was not completely satisfactory as Violetta, but time and time again the sheer beauty of the voice triumphed in this role and moved me to tears; this is one of those moments. How fortunate we were to have had such a singer as she.

Such a beautiful voice.

Also very touching.

Perfect singing.
