REPORT
Herbert attended the performance of Iolanta at Salle Pleyel and he wrote the following remarks: "The French audience was 10 times more enthusiastic at the end than Ljubljana and Munich together!!! And the production is getting better and better. And by the way - Anna looked stunning today, in a new, pink dress by Oscar de la Renta (a nice lady asked her at the stage door). "

It was a very special, wonderful evening first of all for the sweet story of Iolanta, the sublime interpretation by Anna along with an excellent cast and fine orchestra and chorus. Anna's blind princess comes to us charming and shy, men fight for their ladies like heroes, kings are wise as only fairy tales tell... and love makes the way free for the miracle with happy ending.
ReplyDeleteAn attentive and sensible audience welcomed Tchaikovsky's modern one acter @ Salle Pleyel and standing ovations closed the soirée right before I face a huge crowd backstage clapping and cheering the artists .... Hvala! Merci for this terrific evening! VIVA Tchaikovsky! VIVA Anna Netrebko! Merci et à bientôt!
Impresionantes fotos!!!! Lástima no poner un vídeo cuando canta Anna. El rosa le queda de maravilla. HERMOSAAAA!!!!
