The soprano reports on her social media on an attack of acute peritonitis, followed by a heavy flu, that required six days in hopital:

    In hope it’s pleuritis and not peritonitis…

  • Una says:

    Can’t be peritonitus as that is far worse than appendicitis. It can kill you, and needs immediate surgery! Hardly a six-day job followed by Leonora!

    • Potpourri says:

      According to mayoclinic.org, Peritonitis is caused by several health issues, including pancreatitis, trauma, diverticulitis, and stomach ulcer. All can be treated with antibiotics if caught early.

    • benjamin says:

      check your spelling; it’s peritonitis

  • Sam says:

    She ought to keep in mind how many people in Ukraine are likely catching the “gripp” as a result of no heat or electricity right now.

    Btw, why is the Paris Opera casting her in the first place? Have we not learned anything about Putin’s brutality this year?

  • HB says:

    Sure thing, French hospitals are famous for admitting people with the flu. And straight into intensive care.
    What a load of nonsense.
    Ms. Netrebko apparently flew to Paris on Thursday, December 8th. On Sunday, December 11th, she posted photos on her Instagram of her walking around Paris. She sang on December 15, 17 and 21 – and very well, in fact. In her free time, she walked around Paris, visited museums, ate at restaurants, dined with friends.
    And now she is at her home in Vienna, apparently in good health.
    Of course, her fans will believe anything, they’ll believe her when she’d say she was abducted by a UFO, but she thinks everyone is a moron.

    • HB says:

      It is Christian Peter of Forum Opera under his article reporting that Netrebko will not sing the premiere for health reasons added that he knows from a “reliable source” that Netrebko is in the hospital so it’s serious. On other sites, others, also well-informed, wrote that Netrebko has a nasty flu (méchante grippe). And she has been hospitalized.
      Since this is nonsense and people have started to laugh at this, apparently someone told Ms. Netrebko that the flu gives complications that require hospitalization, such as pleurisy. But Netrebko being Netrebko she screwed up the names and order of her alleged illnesses.

      • guest says:

        Pericarditis most likely. Anyway. I know it’s not nice to wish someone to get sick, but it would be nice if Ms. Netrebko got an attack of paradentosis or acute myosotis, or whatever, in early January so that she would have to cancel Aida in Vienna. Elina Garanca is to make her debut as Amneris (this was supposed to happen two years ago but a pandemic got in the way) and it would be better if that woman wasn’t around.

        • Potpourri says:

          Dear Guest, the Vienna State Opera sold out within minutes after tickets became available for four performances of Aida in January 2023 with Netrebko, Garanca and Jonas Kaufmann.More than 8,000 ticket holders would be very disappointed if Netrebko didn’t appear. All of her operas have sold-out this year. Fans of Garanca and Kaufmann have many opportunities to.see them, although Jonas has been ill recently.

          • guest says:

            I know, she sells. And it is oblast Vienna. So why doesn’t she sing that Aida with eyvazov and some russian mezzo – they’re dime a dozen, no problem here.

          • JJ says:

            @Potpourri
            ‘More than 8,000 ticket holders would be very disappointed if Netrebko didn’t appear’

            This is where you may err, Potpourri. People might have bought their ticket in order to see Kaufmann, not Netrebko, and have to put up with her because she’s in the package. Or may have bought their ticket because of Garanca and have to put up with the other two. You can’t possibly know. And then there’s the contingent of opera goers who just appreciate Verdi’s Aida and have to put up with all three aforementioned. Not everybody is a singer’s groupie, Potpourri. Only groupies believe everybody else is a groupie too, and must be “disappointed” when the groupie’s personal idol fails to make an appearance. Just saying.

        • Bonetti Micaela says:

          Monsieur Guest,
          Your final sentence is a disrepute.

    • Dixie says:

      Right you are! AN could hardly be healthier!!! Please check onlinemerker.com TODAY, 25 December 2022, where one can access AN’s Instragram account. There one can scroll through a series of Christmas photos taken in her Vienna home as indicated at the top of the photo display!

  • Jonathan Sutherland says:

    Considering Donna Anna is not exactly a paragon of veracity, I think it best to take this information with multiple pinches of Krasnodar salt.

    • Micaela Bonetti says:

      Looks like you possess tons of Krasnodar salt for exclusive use by Mrs Netrebko, Sir: why so deep hate?

      • JJ says:

        Where’s the hate? I can read only justified skepticism, given AN’s track record, and given the very unlikely combination of illnesses, not to mention that they don’t tally with her schedule, one doesn’t recover from a very heavy ‘gripp’ or peritonitis in just four days. But then for a certain type of fan, everything that isn’t worship is automatically ‘hate’; oops, ‘DEEP hate’. People would do well to enlarge their vocabulary, not everything can be stuffed either in the ‘love’ or in the ‘hate’ drawer.

        • Micaela Bonetti says:

          Very sorry, Sir, to disappoint you with my limited English language.

          Would you prefer myself expressing in Italian? German? French? Spanish?, as I am pretty good at talking these different idioms, excusez-moi du peu.

          Besides, I’m no particular fan of Mrs Netrebko.

          I’m only shocked and tired to read too numerous vitriol full comments on her, especially those written under anonymity.

          Migliori saluti, Signor JJ, ed auguri di Buon Anno.
          Senza rancore.

          ( Perlomeno, il Signor Sutherland ci mette la faccia, e nome e cognome.)

          • JJ says:

            Rest assured I wasn’t disappointed, I don’t expect much from posters, there are many types here, including those who ‘like’ their own comments, signora… No, I wouldn’t prefer to express yourself in Italian, German, etc., all languages you allegedly have a good command of, I’d prefer you to cut the rambling and the enumeration of your many linguistic accomplishments, and tell me where’s the ‘hate’ in the first poster’s comment? Respectfully bringing this to your attention, AGAIN. This was the point of my comment, the alleged ‘hate’. So, cara signora, if your attention span is stable enough to answer a straight question, please tell me where’s the ‘hate’ in Sutherland’s comment, with or without the ‘DEEP’ augmentation? You may answer in Italian, German, French, etc., I am not picky.

          • Micaela Bonetti says:

            Oh, Santo Cielo.

            I noticed in any occasion Mr Sutherland was commenting on any kind of post about Mrs Netrebko a very sour, caustic tone.
            That’s all, folks!

            I may have used the word “hate” improperly and with too much haste.
            “Deep” was just meant to reinforce this causticity and sourness feeling of mine.

            Chiedo perdono.

          • JJ says:

            Perhaps you should direct your perdono to Mr Sutherland, he is the injured party, not I. Nevertheless, I appreciate your apology. Auguri di Buon Anno to you too.

  • Tom Phillips says:

    Is she still a Covid denier?

  • Sam says:

    She ought to keep in mind how many people in Ukraine are likely catching the “gripp” as a result of no heat or electricity right now.

    Btw, why is the Paris Opera casting her in the first place? Have we not learned anything about Putin’s brutality this year?

    Hopefully the doctors can fix her voice while she’s in there.

  • Ned Keene says:

    She should be wary of hospital balconies. Dangerous places at the moment for prominent Russians
