Anne Netrebko - Souvenirs (2008)

Anna Yuryevna Netrebko (born 18 September 1971) is a
Russian operatic soprano who has an active
international career and performs prominently at the
Salzburg Festival, Metropolitan Opera, Vienna State
Opera, and Royal Opera, London.

Discovered and promoted by Valery Gergiev, she began
her career at the Mariinsky Theatre, collaborating
with the conductor in the theater and performances
elsewhere. She was noticed globally after playing
Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni at the 2002
Salzburg Festival. She had been known for her
rendition of lyric and coloratura soprano roles,
most notably Donna Anna and Violetta in Verdi's La
traviata, and proceeded into heavier 19th-century
romantic roles, such as Leonora in Il trovatore and
the role of Lady Macbeth in Macbeth. Since 2016, she
has turned her focus to verismo repertoire. In 2015
she married Azerbaijani tenor Yusif Eyvazov, with
whom she has been performing frequently since.

She has been an exclusive artist for Deutsche
Grammophon since 2002. She has won multiple Echo
Klassik Awards, and was included on Time 100 list in
2007. She was named People's Artist of Russia in
2008, and Austrian Kammersängerin in 2017.
