Movie Reviews of Verdi - La Traviata / Patane, Moffo, Bonisolli, Rome Opera House

Movie Review: Opinion
Summary: 4 Stars

Anna Moffo is superb. The filming is excellent. However I prefer a production of a live performance on stage.

Summary of Verdi - La Traviata / Patane, Moffo, Bonisolli, Rome Opera House

Musically, this is a quite satisfactory Traviata. Visually and sonically, it has a few small problems (pre-digital sound, imperfect tape splices, moments of imprecise lip-synchronization), but it can be recommended for those who enjoy less-than-perfect historic recordings. Anna Moffo was an endearing Violetta, and her identification with the role is lovingly captured by director Mario Lanfranchi, who was her husband, with charming close-ups and detailed attention to her body language. Giuseppe Patane was one of the best Italian opera conductors of his generation, and he treats Verdi's masterpiece with stylistic sensitivity allied to technical expertise. Franco Bonisolli is visually and vocally just right for the role of the impetuous Alfredo and Gino Bechi gives a properly stern portrayal of his insecure, bourgeois father. --Joe McLellan
