Paris and Berlin line up Netrebko return
OperaThe Opera de Paris has booked Anna Netrebko and her husband Yusif Eyvazov for Adriana Lecouvreur in January 2024.
The soprano will also appear in recital at the Philharmonie de Paris in October.
Berlin’s Staatsoper has booked her for Verdi’s Macbeth in September.
Its intendant Matthias Schulz says: ‘She has now clearly positioned herself with her actions. As far as it was possible for her, she showed character. I think you have to give the artist this chance. It would be fatal, at this cultural level, to lump everything together.’
So, two fingers all round (although anti-Putin Beczala is no longer smiling with her).
