Read About This Recording
The life story of today's leading operatic soprano, Anna Netrebko, could most fittingly be described as a true, modern day Cinderella story. As a 20-year-old student at the St. Petersburg Conservatory in Russia, the Kirov Opera's Valery Gergiev discovered her — quite literally — scrubbing floors in the Mariinsky Theatre.
Netrebko's part-time job had, until then, allowed her to attend and absorb all she could from the opera company's rehearsals and performances. Only a few years later, when she finally auditioned for Gergiev, he promptly accepted her into the company.
The Society is pleased to feature this CD of Netrebko's spectacular talent. Sempre Libera features arias from Bellini and Puccini. Today, Netrebko thrills audiences and classical music critics alike with her glorious voice, as well as her considerable charm and beauty, and this fine recording is no exception.
