Breaking: Anna Netrebko quits Verona

Breaking: Anna Netrebko quits Verona

Message from the Russian soprano’s people:

Anna Netrebko is unfortunately obliged to withdraw from her two performances of Aida at the Arena di Verona this summer for personal reasons. “I sincerely regret the inconvenience this may cause audience members who had planned to hear me reprise my role in this wonderful Stefano Poda production. I look forward to my three performances in Nabucco next month, which will mark my seventh consecutive year at the Opera Festival in Arena. I look forward to returning to this landmark venue in 2026.”

This looks serious. Verona has stuck with her through thick and thin. She would not let them down lightly.
