My Take
Anna Netrebko is, to my ear, one of those rare singers who commands a stage simply by stepping onto it. Discovered by Gergiev at the Mariinsky and crowned across Salzburg, the Met, La Scala and beyond, she earned the title of People's Artist of Russia through sheer presence as much as technique. What draws me to her is not flawless precision alone but a magnetism that turns every aria into theater. She has certainly courted controversy over the years, yet I find that polarizing quality is often the mark of a genuine star. To me, Netrebko is the real thing.
