Just in: Mr Netrebko goes into artist management

The hyperambitiuous tenor Yusif Eyvazov has added a new string to his multifgarious career. He is presently a frequent performing partner to his wife Anna Netrebko and general director of the Azerbaijan State Opera.

Now he has launched his own artist management company in Vienna.

Here’s what he says:

Exciting news! I am pleased to announce the launch of «ARENA ARTISTS MANAGEMENT,” an international artists agency based in the heart of Vienna!
It was once my dream to sing on the Big Stage and now I’m ready to share my experience and knowledge of the music industry with other artists, as well as to create an environment where their creative ambitions can turn into real opportunities and opportunities into vivid success stories.
Our agency aims to collaborate with opera singers, stage directors and opera conductors worldwide.
In Arena Artists each artist is a unique star deserving the attention of a global audience.

Will Netrebko be his first signing? Since firing her Universal management after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, her bookings have been managed by industry fixer Miguel Esteban.
