Anna Netrebko Anna Netrebko is no longer just the
darling of the opera world: she is enchanting audiences around the globe while
continuing to cultivate the respect and admiration of opera’s most devoted and
demanding fans. Her beautiful, dark, and distinctive voice, together with her
elegant and alluring stage presence, have prompted critics to hail the Russian
soprano as “Audrey Hepburn with a voice,” and “a singer who simply has it all: a
voice of astounding purity, precision, and scope, extensive dynamic and tonal
range, imagination, insight, and wit – all combined with a dazzling charisma
that makes it all but impossible to look away when she is
performing.
Since her triumphant Salzburg Festival debut in 2002
as Donna Anna in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Anna Netrebko has gone on to appear with
nearly all of the world’s great opera companies, including the Metropolitan
Opera, the San Francisco Opera, London’s Royal Opera House Covent Garden, the
Vienna State Opera, the Paris Opera, the Berlin State Opera, and Munich’s
Bavarian State Opera. She also frequently returns to the Kirov Opera at the
Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg (where she began by cleaning the floors
during her conservatory days and later, in 1994, made her stage debut as
Susanna in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro) to collaborate with her longtime mentor,
conductor Valery Gergiev.
Anna Netrebko made her Metropolitan Opera debut
in 2002 as Natasha in Prokofiev’s War and Peace, a role she has also sung
at London’s Covent Garden, Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, and Madrid’s Teatro Real.
Ms. Netrebko’s other signature roles include Mimм in Puccini’s La bohиme;
Giulietta in Bellini’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi, Elvira in his I puritani, and
Amina in his La sonnambula; Donna Anna in Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Susanna in
his Nozze di Figaro; Norina in Donizetti’s Don Pasquale, Adina in his L’elisir
d’amore, and the title role in his Lucia di Lammermoor; the title role in
Massenet’s Manon; Juliette in Gounod’s Romeo et Juliette; and Violetta in
Verdi’s La traviata.
Ms. Netrebko also appears extensively in concerts
and recitals throughout the world, both in revered music halls such as London’s
Barbican Hall and Paris’s Theatre des Champs-Elysees, and in arenas in front of
tens of thousands of people. Her outdoor concerts with Placido Domingo and
Rolando Villazon at Berlin’s Waldbuhne on the eve of the 2006 World Cup
Final and at Vienna’s Schonbrunn Palace in advance of the 2008 Euro
Championship Final were both televised live and watched by millions of people
around the world. Anna Netrebko made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2007 in a
sold-out concert with baritone Dimitri Hvorostovsky, and later that year she
headlined the BBC’s tradition-rich "Last Night of the Proms" at London’s Royal
Albert Hall.
At only 36 years of age, Anna Netrebko boasts a discography
that is already quite extensive and includes solo albums, complete opera
recordings, and DVDs. Her solo discs for the venerable Deutsche Grammophon label
– Opera Arias, Sempre Libera, and Russian Album – have all been bestsellers, as
have her audio recordings and DVDs of La traviata and Le nozze di Figaro and her
DVD of music videos, Anna Netrebko: The Woman, The Voice. To date, all of her
albums have earned platinum status in Germany and Austria. Her recording Duets,
with her frequent stage partner, tenor Rolando Villazon, claimed the top spot on
the Billboard classical chart shortly after its release in the U.S., and in
Europe Duets set a record for the best debut ever for a classical album,
climbing to the top of the pop charts in several countries.
Further
confirming her status as "the reigning new diva of the early 21st century," in
2007 Anna Netrebko became the first opera singer ever to be named to the
TIME 100 list – Time magazine’s list of the most influential people in the
world. That same year she serenaded film director Martin Scorsese on the CBS
broadcast of the 30th Annual Kennedy Center Honors, and in 2008 she
performed on the BBC telecast of the Classical BRIT Awards alongside Andrea
Bocelli. Anna Netrebko’s other honors and awards include Grammy nominations
for her recordings Violetta and Russian Album, Musical America’s 2008
"Musician of the Year," Germany’s prestigious Bambi Award, the U.K.’s Classical
BRIT Awards for "Singer of the Year" and "Female Artist of the Year," and six
German Echo Klassik awards. In 2005, she was awarded the Russian State
Prize – the country’s highest award in the field of arts and literature – by
President Vladimir Putin, and in 2008 the President bestowed on her the
title of "People’s Artist of Russia."
In the fall of 2008, Anna
Netrebko stars alongside Rolando Villazon in a feature film release of Puccini’s
La boheme, directed by Oscar- and Emmy-nominated director Robert Dornhelm.
Netrebko and Villazon also recently released a full-length recording of the
opera on Deutsche Grammophon. In November, Anna Netrebko will release her fourth
solo album on DG, Souvenirs: a sparkling, international melange of operetta
arias and seductive salon songs.
Later in the 2008-09 season, Anna
Netrebko performs her signature role of Lucia di Lammermoor both at the
Metropolitan Opera in New York and at the Vienna State Opera. She also gives her
critically acclaimed portrayal of Violetta in La traviata at the Vienna State
Opera, at the San Francisco Opera, and, in her debut, at the Zurich Opera. She
returns to the Royal Opera House in London for Giulietta in I Capuleti e i
Montecchi, and she sings Mimi in La boheme at the Bavarian State Opera in
Munich. In May, Ms. Netrebko performs concerts with Dimitri Hvorostovsky in
London at the Royal Festival Hall and in Braunschweig. Over the summer of
2009, she returns to the Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden for the title role
in Tchaikovsky’s Iolantha.
