A Film directed by Allan Miller
Yefim Bronfman, Renée Fleming, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Leonidas Kovakos, Uliana Lopatkina & Anna Netrebko
Valéry Gergiev
gives us enough of Valery Gergiev in rehearsal to validate the words bandied about so often by the man and his musicians: 'magic', 'magnet', 'atmosphere', 'human', 'beauty'. They're all here,... — More…

Wagner: Lohengrin
Piotr Beczała (Lohengrin), Anna Netrebko (Elsa), Tomasz Konieczny (Friedrich von Telramund), Evelyn Herlitzius (Ortrud), Georg Zeppenfeld (Heinrich), Derek Welton (Der Heerrufer des Königs)
Staatskapelle Dresden, Sächsischer Staatsopernchor Dresden, Christian Thielemann
Beczała looks well, his basically lyrical tenor assumes adequate power and ring, but he never achieves the vital otherworldly aura of great Swan-Knights…Netrebko, no ingénue now, sings a passionate... — More…
Awards:
Donizetti: Don Pasquale
Anna Netrebko (Norina), Matthew Polenzani (Ernesto), John Del Carlo (Don Pasquale), Mariusz Kwiecień (Malatesta)
The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra & Chorus, James Levine
Donizetti's modest little domestic comedy almost sinks under the weight of such production values. That is stays afloat is a tribute to Netrebko who unleashes some fearsome coloratura; and to... — More…

It's no accident that Netrebko's better forays into bel canto have come with Garanca by her side, inspiring her to some lovely singing. Their voices blend beautifully...I find her a welcome counterpoint... — More…

Coro e Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala, Riccardo Chailly
The interpretation makes sense, but rather diminishes the grand scale of the drama…Musically, though, this is breathtaking. Chailly’s attention to detail scrubs up an iffy opera into something... — More…
