From her high-school chorus, she had gone to Philadelphia's Curtis Institute where the great violinist Zimbalist tele phoned a top functionary in the New York music world and exclaimed, "Keep your eye on Anna Moffo. She's one in a million!" From Curtis, she had gone through Italy's famous "blood-belt," the circuit of opera houses attended by patrons so fanatical .that they are merciless when a performer fakes or en's. When Anna felt she had won their respect, she accepted the Met's third bid. Now, though crowds swarmed around Anna in her dressing room, one person's absence made her happiness less than com plete. Mario, her husband, had remained behind in Trieste to direct a play. His voice on the overseas phone the previous night had been warmly reassuring, as it had dur ing her preparation for each of the 36 diffi cult roles she had mastered in four years of study in Italy. She would never forget her first role as Madame Butterfly in an Italian TV production. Mario Lanfranchi, the director, had looked at her symmetrical five feet, seven-and-one- half inches and exploded. "You are too big! Butterfly is frail, she is weak, she is tiny." But Anna got the part. Under Mario's re luctant coaching, she sang the role on TV and immediately won invitations to appear in most of the opera houses in Italy. She also won over the director's heart and within a year they were married. His experience and vision augmented her talent and smoothed many a rough edge. He taught her to employ movement and design to enhance her splendid figure. He drilled her in "La Traviata" until she was letter perfect and then sent her to America for her big test. He would be by a phone now, wait ing to hear the news of her debut When her call to Mario got through, she told him of the Met's plans for her next sea son, and of the acclaim. Then she was silent so long he thought the connection had been broken. She was thinking of the ovation that afternoon, of the concerts across America that agents were offering, of a proposed TV spectacular; Success was sweet, she knew, but there were other values. "Are you there?" Mario asked. "I'm thinking." . J "Thinking what?" The Met's newest star and the happiest of women replied, "That I'll be coming home as fast as I can."
