Anna Netrebko

Anna Yuryevna Netrebko is an Austro-Russian operatic soprano. She became known for her rendition of lyric and coloratura soprano roles, most notably Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni 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. She was noticed globally after playing Donna Anna at the 2002 Salzburg Festival and then appeared on leading stages, including the Mariinsky Theatre, where she began her career.
