Apart 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.

    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(!)
