| Muzio became the woman she was portraying and, when she clutched Teresina Monotti, the Annina in the Traviata, she was trembling and crying as if she were indeed Violetta. Muzio also had a way of making her colleagues believe in their parts more than they might some other nights./ pg 28- 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |
| In Traviata, Clairbert ended �Sempre Libera� with a high E flat not in the score, but she was more than a simple songbird./ pg 47- 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |
| Came the night of the first performance, dressy and social. Every important artist not singing in Traviata seemed to be there. Pons herself was extremely nervous at the start, and her tone became fluttery. But, when she relaxed, there were passages of intense feeling a beautiful singing. She seemed to identify herself with the role more and more as the evening progressed but she couldn�t persuade many listeners that Violetta is a role for such a light voice./ pg 122- 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |
| In Traviata, Clairbert ended �Sempre Libera� with a high E flat not in the score, but she was more than a simple songbird./ pg 47- 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |
| This Traviata was a tribute to Adler�s depth casting with Costa again the extrovert Violetta./ pg 207- 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |
| Jeannette Pilou was dry-voiced on opening night, but later the sensuously silvery quality of her soprano emerged. In all performances, one could enjoy the conversationally realistic phrasing she employed most gracefully for dramatic effect./ pg 270- 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |
