Netrebko boosts Austria for Life appeal
UncategorizedThe Russian soprano is among the first to lend her name to Austria’s major television charity fundraiser.
Among 150 performers listed, the only other notable classical personality is the violinist Lidia Baich.
Netrebko’s participation will serve to project her image as a loyal Austrian citizen, far removed from the Putin tool she used to be.
I hope they use the proceeds of the fund-raiser to erase so much of that ugly graffiti which now lines many Viennese streets. In just a decade it’s gone this way! This is how some of its citizens treat that heritage-listed city!!
Hello, Sue Sonata, A press release says The Austria for Life charity show will collect donations for children, young people and their families to secure their livelihoods, promote learning and education and for psychosocial counseling. The 90 minute multimedia show will take place in front of Schonbrunn Palace and will be broadcast live on ORF 1. Netrebko also participated in the fundraiser last year and performed at the Red Ribbon Concerts supporting people with HIV and AIDS in 2013 and 2016.
