In the end of August opera lovers will be treated to a very special evening: the famous opera diva Anna Netrebko will appear on stage together with her husband, the tenor of Azeri origin Yusif Eyvazov. Netrebko, whose debut role was Susanne in The Marriage of Figaro at the Mariinsky Theatre, is now considered one of the world’s best sopranos and captivates world opera audiences in leading roles with her dazzling, rich voice and charismatic stage presence. She now has an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon. Eyvazov completed singing studies in Italy and is a singer with an exceptional sense for acting. His voice is described by critics as crystal clear with brilliant high tones, and he regularly performs on the world’s leading opera stages: London’s Royal Opera House, the Munich State Opera and the New York Metropolitan Opera. Netrebko and Eyvazov will be joined on stage by the Slovenian mezzo-soprano Monika Bohinec, a member of the opera ensemble of the Vienna State Opera since the 2011/2012 season. They will perform together with the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Italian conductor Michelangelo Mazza, who has been regularly collaborating with the opera duo since 2017. Mazza also worked for many years as conductor in the opera theatre in Parma, where he trained alongside Riccardo Muti, Lorin Maazel and Yuri Temirkanov and recorded all of Verdi’s operas with the orchestra there.
