Anna Netrebko has been one of my favorite singers not only because of her amazing voice. What I also admire are her great stage presence, her sense of humor, and her terrific adherence to interpretive excellence.
Now Ms. Netrebko will soon be out with a new recording that looks like this:
The meaning of Verismo in Opera relates to drawing its themes from real life, and emphasizing natural elements. Its chief exponent was Giacomo Puccini.
Here is Ms. Netrebko in a well known scene from “La Traviata”:
Netrebko is one of our favourites!
I must tell you about the time she gave Derek a kiss. You will be SO jealous!
We made trips to LA purely to see/hear her when she performed there.
I am looking forward so much to her Verismo music which is due to be released in September.
I absolutely love the aria from Chenier, it gives me goose bumps when I can distinctly hear Anna’s interpretation of Maddelina’s anguish.
I think Anna would be a fantastic Tosca and also Aida as her voice has deepened and become so rich in quality.
Her stage presence is unmatched and she tends to over shadow colleagues without being pretentious or deliberate.
She appears to be a very nice person with a great sense of fun in her normal life.
But she becomes alive on stage and absolutely grips every audience member with her intensity.
Long may she reign !
