Cast

IN EVERYDAY LIFE AND ON STAGE

In everyday life and on stage, Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov form a glamourous and iconic couple that has been inseparable both in operas and recitals since they met on a production of Manon Lescaut in Rome in 2014.

Anna Netrebko is a soprano with an exceptional tone of voice and captivating charisma, as well as being an exemplary actress and musician of rare intelligence. The Russian opera singer has established herself as one of the most idolised divas of recent years. Her repertoire is very vast with, recently, a preference for works from the late romanticism period, justified by her vocal maturity that allows her to take on the major roles in the works of Verdi and Wagner.

Tenor Yusif Eyvazov grew up in Baku in Azerbaijan where he studied until 1997. His international career started with a very remarkable performance as Turiddu (in Cavalleria rusticana) in Milan, soon going on to meet with success worldwide. At present, he is one of the most sought-after tenors of his generation.
