Today's Musical Interlude

One of my favorite movies is a filmed production of "La Traviata" starring Teresa Stratas and Placido domingo, and produced, directed and staged by Franco Zeffirelli. The file exudes sumptuosness and the singing is magnificent. I have been waiting for the film to "debut" on DVD so I can buy it. I saw the Zeffirelli production ,albeit without the aforementioned stars, at the Metropolitan Opera in New York several years ago with my friend Craig. It really was superb.

Here for your enjoyment is "Un di felice, eterea", a duet from Act 1.
