Anna Netrebko will sing for football crowds
mainApart from the World Cup, which she has been ordered by Gergiev and Putin to open in Moscow, Anna Netrebko will perform at the Vienna Philharmonic’s free open-air midsummer’s concert at Schloss Schönbrunn.
Last year’s event drew 90,000 spectators.
This year’s, on May 31, is expected to break into six figures.
All the arias will be Italian, as befits a football star.
it must be amazing
Brava, Anna “Pavarottska” Netrebko!
Ordered?
Given her enthusiastic support for Putin I don’t think”ordered” fits the situation at all.
She has cancelled for that her contract at Bayerische Staatsoper.
Roger I totally agree with you!!! and on top of that the sang in Moscow her home ground would be a feather in her cap!!!!
The Italian football team has not made the World Cup finals this time around, not what they used to be, maybe she should sing in French or English(!)
“…or English(!)”
LOL
…or Russian, perhaps.
