Review 1:
Review from the Assoicated Press
On the third night of the Metropolitan Opera?s season, the three leading singers in Verdi's ?La Traviata? were making their Met debuts.
The audience there was rewarded also, with really sensational performances by Eugenia Moldoveanu of Busteni, Romania in the title role and Yuri Mazurok of the Ukraine, U.S.S.R. as the elder Germont.
Mazurok's entrance was applauded since he was remembered singing Eugene Onegin here in 1975 as a member of the Bolshoi Opera. His baritone which has a tenor-like ring is as focused as an arrow and also goes straight to the musical and dramatic point.
Miss Moldoveanu, who has not sung in America before, is a leading soprano with the Romanian State 0pera who, since March also has been singing with the Vienna State Opera. She has a gorgeous, youthful tone, with enough vocal weight for the part but without distracting tremolo.
