Dame Judi Dench! Anna Netrebko! Anne Midgette! Need I say more?
Anna Netrebko’s voice to me sounds like a very expensive chocolate covered strawberry.
“Here’s just one more catastrophic crisis — and it seems that at the Met, sufficiently powerful, popular men are beyond reproach.”
“Artists must at least be tethered to some amount of demonstrable empathy lest they risk the perception of solipsism.”
The year 2020 marks the first staged performances of Turandot on Anna Netrebko‘s schedule. She introduces her complete interpretation at the Bayerische Staatsoper January 28 and 31 and February 3.
Yusif Eyvazov just let slip what we must assume is a very long-term project indeed for himself and Anna Netrebko: the title roles in Tristan und Isolde.
Anna Netrebko is Maria Callas in Terrence McNally‘s Master Class!
The frequently-omniscient Future Met Wiki has recently vouchsafed a few morsels about upcoming Met seasons.
It seems Anna Netrebko has achieved a state that can only be described as “Peak Elizabeth Taylor.”
So Anna Netrebko met Julie Andrews yesterday afternoon at an event for the American Austrian Foundation, but that’s just the beginning!
Surely no one can be surprised that the focus of attention among the cher pubic in April was Anna Netrebko‘s first Tosca.
Anna Netrebko and Jonas Kaufmann will sing (with each other!) Puccini’s Turandot at the 2021 Salzburg Festival.
Like Julius Caesar before her, Anna Netrebko can rightly proclaim “Veni vidi vici” about her decisive Roman victory at the Metropolitan Opera where she took on her first-ever Tosca.
In November, everyone wanted to hear more about Jonas Kaufmann‘s Johnson.
A spokesman for Anna Netrebko informs parterre box that the diva is scheduled to sing Aïda at the Met during the 2018-2019 season.
A first glimpse of Anna Netrebko‘s styling for her role debut as Aïda at Salzburg.
In May of last year tenor Piotr Beczala and soprano Anna Netrebko sang in Lohengrin for the first time under the baton of Christian Thielemann in his home house at the Staatskapelle Dresden.
W.C. Fields used to have a funny trope about in show business you should never work with children or animals. To that list should perhaps be added the soprano Anna Netrebko.
Note to naysayers: there is nothing wrong with this singing!
La Cieca is assured by one of her most reliable mavens that a 2018-2019 production of Lohengrin at the Met looks like a definite “go.”
On Thursday evening, the Teatro alla Scala audience didn’t watch the familiar presentation of a “wayward woman” who overcomes moral inferiority only to be robbed of happiness when she finally deserved it.
Last week Anna Netrebko sang in concert Violetta’s first act aria from La traviata, an opera she will return to her repertoire at La Scala on Thursday of this week.
La Scala’s 2017-2018 season will open with a new production of Andrea Chenier starring Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov.
