You have done a beautiful job with these! You can put the source credit in the comments section if you prefer. I love the way the different scenes can be compared. Just great!

Horray!
Isn't it interesting what different directors make of it?
Hm, that would be my dream, to have my own Traviata production. Wow.

The perfect Traviata
Producer: Franco Zeffirelli and Richard Eyre
Violetta: Angela Gheorghiu, Eva Mei
Alfredo: Jose Cura, Roberto Alagna
Jose and Angela would be great as Alfredo and Violetta, especially because I so liked Cura's tender yet strong Alfredo...but of course seing Mrs Gheorghiu's actual husband sing and play Alfredo would be neat as well.
One could mix the four, that would be great. :)
