Seville, Teatro de la Maestranza — Sala Principal
About the Event
Experience an unforgettable evening of musical excellence as opera luminaries Anna Netrebko, Brian Jagde, and George Petean perform at the illustrious Teatro de la Maestranza.
Bel canto, thought by many to have ended with Bellini, has undergone a revival over the last centuries. Composers after Bellini were often critiqued for diverging from tradition, prioritizing expression over beauty. In reality, they expanded the existing framework, offering audiences fresh stimuli and emotions. Fortunately, Verdi, Puccini, and their peers could always rely on singers eager to join in their musical explorations. Today, versatility characterizes great voices that excel across diverse styles. Anna Netrebko exemplifies this.
The Russian soprano gained early acclaim singing Mozart and Verdi in Salzburg. She continues to showcase her vast repertoire and a voice that has evolved to encompass new roles. With the Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla under Marco Armiliato’s baton, and alongside tenor Brian Jagde and baritone George Petean, both experts in Verdi and Verista roles, this celebrated soprano returns to the Teatro de la Maestranza following an unforgettable recital in February 2025. It promises to be an evening of vocal artistry that leaves an indelible impression.
