The reigning prima donna of the 21st century, Anna Netrebko has redefined what it means to be an opera star with her rich-sounding voice and charismatic stage presence. Her live performances and award-winning recordings have made her a leading international voice in opera. She and her husband, the charismatic Yusif Eyvazov – one of the most sought-after tenors of his generation – have become a unique star opera couple. They will be joined on stage by the baritone Željko Lučić, who continues to win accolades for his performances of the dramatic repertoire in the world’s leading opera houses, and the mezzo-soprano Elena Zhidkova, renowned as a brilliant interpreter of Wagner’s mighty roles. They will perform with the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Michelangelo Mazza, who has been working with the star couple since 2017. The programme will focus on the favourite parts of Verdi’s diverse works from different periods, from the early “grandiose” style (Macbeth), to the late spectacular and “personal” style, which loosened the established operatic forms and showed a new dramatic development (Aida, Otello). His works strongly influenced the later veristic and naturalistic development of Italian opera.
