  • Virginia Zeani as Violetta in a broadcast performance from the Metropolitan Opera New York in 1966. Zeani sang rarely at the Met., as at that time their popular resident Violetta was Anna Moffo.
    However this did not prevent the audience responding spontaneously to their visitor with applause at the end of "Addio del passato" which lasted for over two minutes,
    The tenor singing is Bruno Prevedi but the photo shows Alfredo Kraus. The paintings are from performances at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London in 1962.

    Yet another example of the exquisite Violetta of the great Virginia Zeani. She sings with absolutely beautiful tone injected with passionate vocal acting. There is no doubting that this wonderful artist is the definitive Violetta of our time!

    from Facebook: That makes me weep. There is so much sadness and tenderness in her voice, no anger. I think the lisbon traviata [Callas] which I've listened to so many times really imprinted in me an association of latent anger with this scene. But Z's Violetta here is so quiet and womanly. It touches on a released spirituality in the role. Callas can be like a prophet railing at God in the desert-- struggling against her inevitable calling--, but Zeani is lovingly dying for our sins. Brava.

      Uncle LUI, it doesn't matter. WE KNOW the difference. The others could find it out too but they do not want. I have never heard Zeani live. I have discovered her when I was 14, through her only 2 studio recordings, Tosca and LaTraviata, with Romanian Electrecord.

      Truer words were never spoken! I have just now learned of this amazing artist, and shocked that I've never heard her, or even OF her before, and yet she's on the exact same level of excellence as Callas and Sutherland! I'm soo thrilled to have now learned of her!

      Zeani sang this role for the dublin grand opera society many years ago,she is a fantastic old school soprano,one of the best and her traviata duet with herlea is in my humble opinion the greatest ive ever heard,you are quite correct,yesterdays singers were far better,and better trained

    @CharlotteinWeimar This is sooooooo right Yv.... er.. Charlotte ;) Callas and Zeani have two different ways of portraying Violetta... Both make me cry... For two different reasons.. But this performance is probably more intense than any other Traviatas.. Especially when Alfredo comes in..!!!! BRAVA ZEANI!!!
    p.s. We met last Thursday I was having a lesson, I'm the baritone from Canada :) Say Hi to Grand-Mamy Virginia and tell her this made me cry ok? thanks :)

    It is the prompter, positioned in the prompt box, centre stage, at the feet of the singers and much closer to them than the conductor. In fact when you are on stage in as large an opera house as the Met, the prompter is an absolutely vital link in keeping everything running smoothly.
