OPERA DE MONTE-CARLO - ANNA NETREBKO, BRIAN JAGDE & GEORGE PETEAN

Arias, duets, and trios from operas by Verdi, Leoncavallo, Puccini, Giordano, and Cilea.

Shortly after her stage debut as Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro in St. Petersburg, 1994, Anna Netrebko quickly became internationally acclaimed as a lyrical coloratura singer. Her European breakthrough was the result of two spectacular appearances as Donna Anna in Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Violetta in Verdi’s La traviata at the Salzburg Festival.  

At that point she had already sung a repertoire reaching mainly from Mozart to Donizetti and Bellini throughout Europe, the U.S.A. and Japan. However, noone would have foressen the breathtaking development in richness, power and stamina of her voice, nor the gradually ensuing huge shift in repertoire that occured in the second decade of the present century.  

Today, Anna Netrebko performs the most challenging parts from the Verdian and the verismo repertoire with aplomb and grace, adding stunning role debuts every season, each of which testifies to this truly unique career.  

In this grand opera gala at the Grimaldi Forum, Anna Netrebko will be joined by two male partners, who are equally magnificent speciaists in those genres: the American tenor Brian Jagde, and the Romanian baritone George Petean.
