Anna Moffo is better than Maria Callas!!!!

[DanRobSo]

Judith Blegen remembers seeing Anna as Violetta, and said to herself, 'Judy, you're never going to sing Traviata'. Ellen Shade also saw that performance and said she couldn't get over how gorgeous she was. Anna was Violetta.

Except when she tried to sing with a cold! I met her a number of times and had talks with her. She had a beautiful oil painting I did of her - hanging in her studio. She loved it!

[sisteract42]

Visually she was stunning, and looked the part. Vocally - sshe had her good days and bad days, as most singers do. But always was she a diva. I have seen Anna perform this role many times, and she never disappointed me.

@jackarturo2904

Moffo had a more conventionally beautiful voice than Callas in the roles they both sang but she was without a doubt influenced by Callas in her interpretation of Violetta, Lucia. I think in her hey day Callas gave the most exhilarating performances of Lucia I ever heard.The Callas voice was a unique instrument. Moffo possesed a great voice too. They were both good actresses, good musicians,glamor Divas and great stars of the Opera. we can enjoy both without comparison.

@jackarturo2904 You can't compare them, two different voices. But I admit I've heard Anna Moffo singing better than this. Still, she's a favourite.

@Bossmanrocks

You have no knowledge too.

[jazmyn0549]

I want to be Anna Moffo when I grow up!

[stokleyb]

rare is the soprano who attempts the Eb. Bravo Anna!!

[badpdx]

I'm one of those rare people who enjoy both Tebaldi and Callas, and recognize that neither are perfect.

However, I am more and more enjoying listening to Anna Moffo. What she may lack in interpretation at times she makes up for in sheer beauty (and I'm strictly talking about her voice).

[sopranoymezzo]
