From Russia with love

Some say that the russian nithingale Anna Netrebko (born 1971, Krasnodar) changed the opera into something new. Something passionate, daring, highly emotional and sexy.
Her manners are widely known; mixing acting and singing to its highest peak.
"Bringing sex back into Opera" to quote a german journalist about the salzburger production of La Traviata in 2006 with fellow opera superstar and coworker Rolando Villazón.
I adore Anna Netrebko. She's like nutella on brie with a cup coffee.
She's simply gorgeuos with her round face, high sculptered cheekbones, the dark forget-me-not eyes, the ivory body of an ancient greek goddess. Not to mench her waist and killer derrière.
Okay, enough of her striking appereance. Let's get down to buisness. Let's talk about her voice. It's a dark full lyric soprano voice with soft timbre and great forza, very russian so to speak, that mixes well with her reportoire in russian, italian and french. Sadly enough she doesn't sing that often in german. She would be a great Richard Strauss-soprano and a perfect role for her would be the titlerole in Salomè, but she continues to sing romantic works of other various composers and I don't blame her. She masters the bel canto, as well opera verismo, french femme fatales and roles on her own mothertongue.
