City, New York, 1975 June 5. On her personal imprinted letterhead to Mr.

present. American soprano Anna Moffo (1932-2006) made her debut with the
Metropolitan Opera in 1959 as Violetta in La Traviata, a role she
would sing over 900 times both on the stage and on an album. Moffo, who was a
popular performer at the Met well into the 1960s, had made her stage debut
in 1955 in Don Pasquale in Spoleto. Her star quality led to roles on
television and in films as well as on the stage. Moffo, who is credited with
popularizing opera with her Italian TV program, The Anna Moffo Show,
also appeared as a guest star on TV programs from The Bell Telephone Hour
(1962) to The Dean Martin Show (1974). She also recorded a number of
albums, including La Boheme, La Rondine and Madama
Butterfly (produced by her first husband, RCA Victor producer Mario
Lanfranchi), in additon to La Traviata. A later recording, Thaïs,
was produced by Moffa's second husband, NBC President and RCA executive
Robert W. Sarnoff, who was the son of television pioneer David Sarnoff.
