Anna Netrebko
Since her triumphant Salzburg Festival debut in 2002 as Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni, Anna Netrebko has gone on to appear with nearly all of the world's great opera companies, including the Metropolitan Opera, the San Francisco Opera, London's Covent Garden, the Vienna State Opera, the Paris Opera and many more. Critics have called her "Audrey Hepburn with a voice," and a "singer who simply has it all." Her signature roles include Mimi (Puccini's La Bohème), Violetta (Verdi's La Traviata) and the title role in his Lucia di Lammermoor (Donizetti).
