Orchestre de L’Opera de Nice
Conductor: Jader Bignamini
A celebration of the world’s best opera voices Anna Netrebko (soprano) and Yusif Eyvazov (tenor) in concert.
Live for one night only with the Orchestre de L’Opera Nice!
Anna Netrebko has redefined the meaning of being an opera star. Today’s reigning prima donna routinely headlines major productions at leading opera houses across the globe. She was the first classical musician to be chosen as one of the “Time 100,” Time magazine’s list of the world’s most influential people. With her distinctively beautiful voice, abundant charisma, and arresting stage presence, she makes an indelible impression with each of the roles she portrays.
Together with her husband Yusif Eyvazov they form a breathtaking couple on stage. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, Eyvazov mastered his professionalism in Italy. Critics call him “an exciting tenor whose pure human voice trained to do exceptional things reaches us in a way that no other sound does…” His sound is metallic, stentorian and markedly Italianate. Yusif Eyvazov appearances feature the Metropolitan Opera, Wiener Staatsoper, Paris Opera, Staatsoper Berlin, Mariinsky Theatre and others.
The concert programme includes the best pieces by Italian composers Verdi, Cilea, Boito, Mascagni, Puccini, Catalani and others.
