Anna Moffo in La Traviata (1967)

Trivia

Anna Moffo

Edit
  • After she graduated from high school she was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship, went to Rome to study voice, master the Italian language and train for opera.
  • In 1969 she caused a scandal in Italy when she appeared to be nude in a scene in the film "Una Storia d'Amore." In later years she insisted that she had not been totally unclothed.
  • Daughter-in-law of David Sarnoff.
  • Shortly after the Italian tenor Sergio Franchi joined the RCA recording family in America, they recorded a popular album of operetta duets, "The Dream Duet," which peaked at number ninety seven on the Billboard 200 in 1963. Later that year Franchi and Moffo collaborated in recording "The Great Moments From Die Fledermaus" with The Vienna State Orchestra and Chorus, Oskar Dannon conducting. In 1999 this album was re-mastered and re-issued in High Performance Stereo.
  • Famous American operatic soprano of Italian descent.
  • She has recorded several albums (opera and otherwise), including La Traviata, La Bohème (with Maria Callas), La Rondine, and Madama Butterfly. She has also enjoyed successful film career, not only of operas, but also of strictly dramatic films, including Una storia d'amore, which won the prestigious Griffo d'Argento award. She is as well known for her beauty as for her singing, but it shouldn't be overlooked that she has performed La Traviata more than 900 times, and Lucia di Lammermoor around 500 times. Recently, Anna Moffo received an honorary doctorate from her alma mater, the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Recently, on November 14, 1999, the 40th anniversary of her Met debut was celebrated.
  • In Italy, she hosted the 'The Anna Moffo Show' that helped popularise opera from 1960 to 1973.
  • Born in America to Italian parents.
