Anna Netrebko and Peter Gelb in Conversation

[@refranesydichospopulares]

Yo he tenido la suerte de verla y oirla en directo y os aseguro que fue una experiencia única, me mantuvo el vello erizado todo el tiempo, incluso la oí cantar sin micrófono y fue un éxtasis. Bravo Anna!!!!

[@LordMgls]

Mr Gelb gives me the feeling of walking on thin ice

[@artistsf1]

an apt image.

[@Anna-br1bb]

[@tatianalyulkin410]

No. My godparents are dead. Nobody is gonna fire the snake. But had they been alive Uta Hagen and Herbert Berghof would have wiped the floor with him. What a scumbag.

[@tatianalyulkin410]

Indeed. So just two years ago there was nothing " wrong " with Anna Netrebko? 🤣

[@Wotan123456789]

This is a disaster. Gelb speaks for 3min non stop, she cannot even say "hello" and then they move to a clip. Where is the 'conversation' part happening?

[@SteveL2012]

God, her voice is so labored, wobbly and unnaturally heavy in that first clip. She sounds 90 years old. Are they intentionally trying to drive audiences away from opera? If so, perfectly executed strategy.

[@artistsf1]

The wig and costume makes a beautiful woman look gawd-awful. Far from her best singing here. sad.

[@doranarducci2606]

a person who says she doesn't love animals scares me (interviews with Angel 1:00:40)

[@ficuspicus3488]

What an unusual program, Day and Night 😂👏 In this conversation she looks like a rich student who came to an oral exam without preparing the subject, but she knows that professor is gonna let her pass it anyways. And professor knows that she is not prepared, but for some reason (lack of power) he will put her the best mark.

[@ooglemegood]

Except that she is not doing an exam. Her exam is the concert, and that she aced.

[@theogoldberg8919]

It’s actually funny to see how Peter Gelb is basically Anna’s biggest fanboy around ...

[@tatianalyulkin410]

What a snake. What a goddamned fake.

[@benhaslund5153]

Mr Gelb, there is a secret in life and by misforune Sir, you do not know it - it is : say what you need to say and then BE QUIET! ...... here it is Anna Netrebko´s singing which is the interesting and nothing else. Anna, we love you and your voice

[@Rocio811]

Ana en Argentina 🇦🇷 te admira mucha gente, especialmente quienes estudian música, también sus profesores y publico en general.Sin poder viajar a verte y escucharte, te sigo por KZbin. No otro medio. Cariños 💐🌹🍀♥️💋

[@lucillecraig9150]

Why does Gelb not be still and allow the real artist to speak. Netrebko has no lack of words and humour. hush Peter, I turn him off.

[@fernandofarias5950]

This pandemics intermission is taking longer than initially expected, but we are now closer to an end, after which we'll be able to see Anna Netrebko and other extraordinary artists brightfully back to the stage.

[@caseyfranco3959]

Why is the met coming to a ruin if it isn't already? These two bozos

[@maggielarkin7003]

You forgot to ask why she thinks blackface is acceptable and why she lied about the severity of COVID!

[@xultrac]

Yes, and about many other things, actually, like human rights in Russia.

[@belladonna5904]

Many singers have used blackface to do Aida. There's nothing wrong with that. People like to conflate that with the blackface from old minstrel shows. They are not the same thing though, so just stop.

[@alfredoihldausend4093]

Mr. Peter Gelb seems to be the reincarnation of the monk Savonarola from Florence....

[@saol67]

Making me laugh !! She is not suited to sing bel canto roles.

[@100Singers]

Meanwhile Anna looks like Montserrat ...

[@lauramuller8771]

The voice of Monserrat was better, much better!

[@ЕкатеринаВикторовна-м4ш]

Аннушка, любимица моя.

[@celibidache1000]

Gelb needs to be quiet. And stop destroying opera.

[@marinakoreytem5821]

She is gorgeous!!!👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️Люблю её. !!! Восторгаюсь ею!! 😍😍😍

[@mara8712]

Many thanks! Bravo MET!!!

[@elizaveta_sea]

Анна- вы чудесны! Ваш голос- олицетворение русской души.

[@ayleenx350]

Wonderful Anna❤.

[@regp2008]

Thank you very much! Wonderful!

[@wotan10950]

I am always thrilled to see her on the stage. I’m never disappointed. My wife and I almost stopped breathing at the end of Eugene Onegin, when she kissed him hard!

[@mogmason6920]

Wobble wobble wobble

[@mariamartinezromero7282]

Te quierooooo Ana !!! GRACIAAAAS😍😍😍

[@daniel_5606]

I love hoy Anna, Im peruvian..

[@BellaFirenze]

Gelb is very annoying. Netrebko is Netrebko.

[@parentastrology5440]

Opera is in big trouble. Gelb is boring. Netrebko used to have the most glorious voice. She has lost her lyricism and now just bellows. Her husband is a great tenor? Please. The Met needs new blood.

[@SuperArkleo]

Gary Fisher Gary, I wonder, are you aware of how long Maria Callas was singing? Anna is singing now much longer and, again, if you remember how her voice deteriorated after she stopped singing, you probably should know that she was still internationally appreciated. Anna' s Il Puritani, Manon, Anna Bolena, Traviata, Don Pascuale, Elixir D' amore puts her in the position analogous to Callas. So, she should be admired no less than Callas for these roles even though her voice now is different and, to many, less appealing.

[@helpmeiamstuckinahumanbody17]

@@SuperArkleo dont you dare compare netrebko to callas.

[@parentastrology5440]

​@@SuperArkleo There are many great sopranos, like Caballé, Freni, Price, Te Kanawa, Nilsson, etc. who never went to heavy singing with a labored vibrato. They kept the beauty of their voices to the very end. Your soprano had one of most beautiful voices ever, so sad she went into the dramatic literature. Her Turandot is painful. Screw today's International audiences who applaud anything like the garbage put out by Regietheater Directors.

[@SuperArkleo]

@@parentastrology5440 I agree with everything and, myself would write the same. However Netrebko must pay bills , like all of us. And, for her, this is a matter of survival. Yes, all these divas are great, yes, I love them all, but Netrebko came to stardome from the very bottom, very much like Galina Vishnevskaya. But Vishnevskaya' s husband was Mstislav Rostropovich. Therefore she was secure. Yusif Evazov is surely not Rostropovich.Accordingly, Anna must act in order to maitain her status.

[@ayleenx350]

@@SuperArkleo every singers are individually exclusive. They are famous in own times. Anna is great in our time. Some people always trying to compare , ? for what. If some one like Callas, to get her records listening and don't need to write online about another singer negatives opinions .

[@didi9220]

I hope the Met will open soon..She is beautiful like always.

[@francobarzelatto6599]

Omg she sings so bad.

[@crazyorganist1609]

She sings the wrong roles thats why. She's wtecked her voice

[@ЛюдмилаШилова-у1р]

Anna canta bello!!!♥️👏

[@laurademilio4475]

Anna, greatest singer that ever lived. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Sabi1970]

Met früher: Rosa Ponselle, Elisabeth Rethberg, Claudia Muzio, Zinka Milanov, Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi und einige andere! Heute, nicht eine einzige Sängerin kann sich mit der Vergangenheit messen! Gesanglicher Abstieg ins Bodenlose! Ich bin nur noch traurig!

[@stephanielorenzsoprano]

Versuche mal Lisette Oropesa... Violetta z.B. 😊😍🤩

[@Sabi1970]

@@stephanielorenzsoprano Gut, habe ich gemacht! Allerdings habe ich dagegen gehalten Virginia Zeani, für mich die Traviata des vorigen Jahrhunderts! Ist das jetzt ungerecht? Ponselle hat die Rolle gesungen und natürlich auch die Callas, aber für mich ist Virginia Zeani der Maßstab aller Dinge! Die heutigen Sänger lassen mich eigentlich immer etwas kalt! Ich bin kein Top-Kenner der Gesangskunst, eher wie die meisten ein "Connaisseur"! Ich habe nur einen Vorteil, ich bin alt - dies ist aber auch nur der einzige Vorteil! Ich habe viele große Sänger seit 1965 live erlebt: Wunderlich, del Monaco, Corelli, Raimondi, Bergonzi, Windgassen, Protti! Ich könnte noch einige Andere anführen! Aber nein, ich sehe noch nicht den ganz großen Durchbruch für die Sänger von heute!

[@saol67]

Ganz genau !!

[@Rocio811]

Please Peter Gelb, do your best to make Argentina can enjoy operas(not only Buenos Aires). Thank you
