Their outfits will live on Anna’s Instagram. Nothing is ever really erased from the internet.
May they serve as cautionary tales for future generations.

Oftentimes less is more …
People can wear what they choose. Just as audiences should be able to choose who they hear. In the case of the Netrebko’s , or one of them at least, it seems more censorious forces are won’t to interfere.

That’s nothing new. A lot of opera costume designers wear outlandish clothes like that. Only things missing are big daddy gold chains and oversized sunglasses… maybe on their TikTok?
