Anna Moffo war eine US-amerikanische Opernsängerin (lyrischer Sopran) und Schauspielerin.

Anna Moffo was the daughter of the Italian-American shoemaker Nicolas Moffo and his wife Regina (Cinti). In addition, she also performed as a singer in song recitals, at weddings, funerals and in choirs. According to Moffo, her parents wanted her to become a Catholic nun after graduating from school. Instead, she won a free place for a four-year apprenticeship at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia after singing the only opera aria she knew: “Un bel di vedremo” from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. She first studied literary history and music there and came to Italy in 1953 to complete this education. There she studied at the University of Perugia.

After making her Metropolitan Opera début in 1959 as Violetta in La traviata, she went on to appear with the company in 200 performances of 21 roles over a total of 18 seasons, before finally singing her last complete performance – once again as Verdi’s Violetta – and retiring from the stage in 1976. Specially released to mark the 10th anniversary of Anna Moffo’s death, Sony Classical releases for the first time, newly mastered from the original analogue tapes using 24bit/96kHz technology.
