Opera singer Anna Netrebko became a world star largely due to her spectacular appearance. This opinion was expressed by a graduate of the Leningrad Conservatory, music journalist and hostess of the Russian Ball in Vienna, Natalya Holtsmuller.
Netrebko’s colleagues note that at the beginning she “didn’t intonate very cleanly, and her voice was small.” Everything changed when the artistic director of the Mariinsky Theater Valery Gergiev drew attention to the singer.
“Once, when Anna was tried for some role, the musician, who had worked in the orchestra for a long time, asked the maestro: “Well, why did you take her? You can’t hear her.” “But it’s clear,” Gergiev answered, “she has a good appearance, it is of great importance for the stage,” she said. Holzmuller, writes “Interlocutor”.
According to her, Netrebko’s success story is “the story of Pygmalion and Galatea, because Gergiev not only did her voice, but made her a singing actress, investing a lot in her and developing her talent.”
“His authority and support certainly helped her in her career. Of course, she worked hard and continues to work, but the fact of luck and good luck cannot be canceled, ”said Holzmuller.
At the same time, she called it an exaggeration the rumors that Netrebko helped to become famous for the sympathy of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is called a fan of the singer’s talent.
Let’s add that last fall, music critics were “deeply disappointed” by Netrebko’s tour concerts.
