The roIe of VioIetta in La Traviata is one of which Verdi might weII have composed with Anna Moffo in mind. Possessing a singuIar beauty of voice and appearance, the soprano succeeds briIIiantly in fuIfiIling the composer's difficult musicaI and dramatic demands. It is especialIy fortunate that Miss Moffo's celebrated portrayaI has been captured in Mario Lanfranchi's cinematic treatment, a sumptuously beautiful and emotionaIIy powerfuI fiIm. Asked about her own reaction to this Traviata, Miss Moffo had this to say:
"ln making this fiIm version of La Traviata, I particuIarly enjoyed the chance to project the character of Violetta through subtleties of facial expression which the camera captures in such detail. The biggest thriIl in watching the film again was that, with those cinematic close-ups, I could reaIly Iook into Violetta's eyes and see what she was thinking. It reminds me of the Italian saying, 'GI' occhi sono Io specchio deII 'anima' - The eyes are the mirror of the souI."
