Anna Netrebko faces Hamburg protests and empty seats
NewsA small demonstration – around 50 people – protested peacefully outside Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie against Wednesday’s recital by the Russian soprano and her husband Yusif Eyvazov.
More worrying were swatches of empty seats, signifying that a portion of the soprano’s fanbase is unhappy with her equivocations over the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
A quarter of the seats were unsold, according to one internal estimate.
