The greatest opera star of our times is back: Anna Netrebko returns with her first solo album in five years “Amata dalle tenebre”. Celebrating her 50th Birthday on 18th September, the prima donna assoluta at the height of her formidable powers presents a dazzling array of iconic soprano arias by Verdi, Wagner, Strauss, Puccini, Cilea and Purcell, also including Dido’s Lament, Anna’s first ever Baroque track in the English language. This special Album was recorded with Maestro Riccardo Chailly and the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala. Anna Netrebko will also release a visual album which is a music film based on four arias from Anna’s latest recordings. Filmed mainly at Teatro alla Scala in Milan during at right after the album recording, it explores Anna's performative practices to embody different heroines and their stories. Framed by a genuine interview where Anna shares rare insights about herself, as well as the music, the film follows the four arias as they are translated to screen, each with a unique visual language and style. Aida, Lisa, Dido and Isolde come to life in a series of visual experimentations driven by powerful musical themes.
