L'elisir d'amore, Mariinsky Theater, St. Petersburg 23. May 2011

Anna Netrebko has returned to the Mariinsky Theater of St. Petersburg to open the XIX Music Festival "Stars of the White Nights" singing the role of Adina in Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's "L'elisir d'amore" on 23. May 2011. Maetsro Valery Gergiev was on the pit, being the first time he was conducting this opera at the Mariinsky Theater. This was a co-production of the Opéra national de Paris and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.

Donizetti's "L'elisir d'amore" was first time ever staged at the Mariinsky Theater on 24. Jan 2011 starring also Anna Netrebko as Adina. 

We may be pretty sure that Miss Netrebko was really happy about the performance, as when she came on the stage for the final curtain calls, she came running and making a cartwheel to the pleasure and surprise of everybody.
