ძეფირელისა და კარაიანის 1964 წლის ტრავიატა ლა სკალაში. პრემიერაზე მირელა ფრენის დებიუტმა ვიოლეტას როლში ისეთი სკანდალი გამოიწვია, რომ იგი სპექტაკლის მსვლელობისას ანა მოფოთი შეცვალეს. მეორე წარმოდგენაზე ისევ ანა მოფომ იმღერა, რის შემდეგაც კარაიანს ტრავიატა არასოდეს აღარ უდირიჟორია.
პრემიერის ჩანაწერი არ შემონახულა. ფრენისა და კარაიანის ტრავიატაზე კი გენერალური რეპეტიციის მიხედვით თუ შეგვიძლია ვიმსჯელოთ.
http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1...ella-Freni.htmlOn January 9, 1962, Freni bowed for the first time at La Scala in Milan, Italy, once again as Nannetta in Falstaff. Then she tackled the role of Liu in Puccini's last opera, Turandot, during the 1962-63 season. Appearing at the most prestigious of all Italian opera houses was a considerable personal benchmark for Freni; of greater consequence was that she came to the attention of Herbert von Karajan, the reigning conductor in Milan, Berlin, and Vienna and one of the foremost maestros in the world. Von Karajan, immediately taken by Freni's stage manner and the lyric quality of her singing, played a significant part in her rise into the opera elite, serving as her mentor over the course of the next decade and pushing her to accept new and challenging roles.
At von Karajan's insistence, Freni was cast as the female lead, Mimi, in a new production of Puccini's La Boheme. The opera had its debut on January 31, 1963, and Freni's performance was greeted rapturously by audiences and the opera press alike. Mimi became a signature role for Freni, and her interpretation of it set a standard against which other singers attempting the role are often judged. In November of 1963 she performed the part with the State Opera in Vienna, Austria; two years later she reprised the role with the Metropolitan Opera in New York for her American debut. Critic Alan Rich of the New York Herald Tribune wrote of that performance: "[Her voice] is pure and fresh, operating without seam ... marvelously colored at every point by what seems to be an instinctive response to the urging of the text". Freni recorded La Boheme for Angel in 1964, and in 1965 starred in a Franco Zeffirelli film of the opera. The role remained her favorite throughout her career, and she continued to perform it into the 1990s.
Intending to capitalize on the enthusiasm for Freni, von Karajan pushed for her to sing Violetta, the female lead in Verdi's La Traviata, at La Scala. Freni was reluctant at such an early point in her career to take on a role that is considered one of the most difficult in the soprano repertory, but she eventually acceded to von Karajan's urging. Her decision turned out to be a serious misjudgment. Renata Scotto, a veteran singer and favorite performer at La Scala, had originally been cast as Violetta, and her replacement by a relatively inexperienced newcomer deeply angered many Milanese opera fans. Although Freni was probably up to the demands of the role, she never had a chance to prove herself.
The opera's debut in December of 1964 degenerated into a near-riot of shouting, whistling, and disturbances in the audience, and after a single performance, Freni was replaced by Anna Moffo, another well-known soprano. The experience must have been disheartening for such a young singer, but it taught her a valuable lesson. Thereafter, Freni refused roles for which she was ill-prepared, artistically unsuited, or that she thought might overtax her voice. This approach no doubt contributed to her longevity as a singer.
