A snippet of last night’s Traviata from London.

Sanford says:
Harry,I think that when you have that reaction to Violetta, it’s because the wrong emphasis is being stressed in the role. When I think of Violetta, I think of Moffo, because her voice had such an innate pathos. And I was recently sent her Met broadcast and she doesn’t sing the high note at the end of Sempre Libera. What she *does* do is capture the anguish during the scene with the elder Germont.
