Title: Ana Netrebko show
Product review: Agree with Mrs. Silvia Costa about the bad choice of the male singers. I also think that there is a lack of talent and creativity in most of the MET productions including this one. The outdated painted scenaries are a real shame. Whereas European productions are experimenting these days with new concepts of opera staging (some of them quite good and some others quite unfortunate) Americans seem to be stuck into a rather rigid and old fashioned concept of staging. This is a clear example that money and excess does not necessarily buy good taste specially if they do not go hand to hand with new ideas. About the great diva: I certainly love Anna Netrebko, particularly her mad scene that is quite breathtaking. However I cannot take out of my mind the legendary performances of other great divas such as Maria Callas and Edita Gruberova in the same role. Anna Netrebko is spectacularly beautiful and elegant in the role though.
