About

Anna Netrebko (born 1971 in Krasnodar) is a Russian soprano widely regarded as one of the defining operatic voices of her generation. Discovered by conductor Valery Gergiev at the Mariinsky Theatre, she rose to global prominence after her 2002 Salzburg Festival Don Giovanni and has since headlined at the Metropolitan Opera, Vienna State Opera, La Scala and the Royal Opera House. Over three decades her repertoire shifted from lyric Mozart and Donizetti roles toward the heavier verismo and dramatic Verdi parts she favours today; she has been an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist since 2003 and was the first classical musician named to Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people.
