      Frances H No one could beat Franco Zeffirelli for lavish costumes and gorgeous sets, not to mention perfect casting. Teresa Stratas is a great Violetta! Not only does she have a perfect voice for the role, but her etherial looks and figure make her Viuletta unforgettable! If you love opera, this is the La Traviata for you! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
