Link to the Anna Netrebko's Blog at the Joseph Calleja's Official Website

I first met Joseph Calleja on stage at the end of the premiere of La Bohème this year in München, where he sang some outstanding performances as Rodolfo, with a no less outstanding Anna Netrebko as Mimí.


Shortly after this first meeting, Joseph told me that he had given instructions to his webmaster to add a link to this blog in his official website. I have to say that I was deeply honoured with such a kind decission and even more when I read what he wrotes there: "A great blog dedicated to a great artist run by my friend Carlos!". Thank you Joseph for being such a great artist and such a nice and friendly person.

Anna Netrebko at the "Great Voices in the Kremlin" Charity Gala Concert, Cathedral Square, Moscow Kremlin, Moscow 6. Sep 2009

The Charity Gala Concert "Great Voices in the Kremlin" has been held at the Cathedral Square of the Moscow Kremlin, Moscow, this Sunday 6. September 2009. The concert, which was one of the main events to celebrate the City Day, featured the Russian-Austrian soprano Anna Netrebko, mezzo-soprano Julia Gertseva, tenor Sergei Skorokhodov and bass Paata Burchuladze, accompanied by Russian National Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Mikhail Tatarinkov in the first part and by Mikhail Pletnev in the second one.

Anna Netrebko sang the cavatina from Ruslan and Lyudmila by Glinka and the duet of Iolanta by Tchaikovsky with Sergei Skorokhodov. Sergei Skorokhodov sang also the Lensky's aria from Eugene Onegin. Julia Gertseva sang the Lyubasha aria from The Tsar's Bride by Rimsky-Korsakov and Marfa's aria from Khovanshchina by Mussorgsky. Georgian bass Paata Burchuladze sang the monologue from Boris Godunov by Mussorgsky and the aria of Kutuzov from War and Peace by Prokofiev.

Press Reports

One of the brightest moments of the concert was a denial of Anna Netrebko from the microphone, which once again confirmed the deserved status as one of the best opera singers in the world.
