This is the world's most famous operatic soprano at the moment,
Anna Netrebko
, a Russian singer who has the most unlikely story you will ever hear. She trained for opera, but when she couldn't land singing roles early in her career, she decided to take a job as a janitor in an opera house just to stay close to the music she loved. She did this for a while, and one day the opera conductor agreed to hear her sing. Astounded by what he had found, he supported her and promoted her, and the rest is history. She's now opera's world superstar, and while
Micaëla
isn't a show-stopping role, here she is singing it. What do you think? She plays
Micaëla differently.
How would you describe the difference in sound between her voice
Anna Netrebko
and the other soprano,
Barbara Frittoli
? Anything you would like to say is fair game. Share moments - a note, phrase, etc. that you find impressive.
(By the way, the thing she steps on at the end is the embers of the fire just left behind by the Carmen, the gypsies and Don José after they left to move their smuggled goods.)
