The undisputed prima donna of our time
Prima donna, world star and style icon – Anna Netrebko is the most famous opera diva in the world. Acclaimed by the audience and praised by the critique, she is known and admired far beyond the circle of lovers of classical music. Thus, it is not surprising that Anna Netrebko was the first classical artist ever to be named one of the 100 most influential personalities in the world by TIME Magazine.
The meteoric rise of her international career began in 2002 with her triumphant debut at the Salzburg Festival as Donna Anna in Mozart's "Don Giovanni". Contracts at the world's leading opera houses and performances in the most important concert halls followed. Her Violetta in Verdi's "La traviata" (Salzburg, 2005) or her Manon in Massenet's opera of the same name (Berlin, 2007) gained cult status, thanks to both her vocal performance and her absolute commitment to the directing concept. Great moments in her career, such as the video project "The Woman, The Voice" (2004) and the concert with Plácido Domingo and Rolando Villazón (Soccer World Cup 2006, Berlin) that was broadcasted worldwide, brought her a popularity only comparable to that of a true pop star.
Throughout her career, the soprano, born in Krasnodar in 1971 and trained in Russia's most renowned music institutes, has continuously expanded her repertoire. In the course of the years, the amber-colour of her timbre has gained in lustre and richness of facets, opening a wide range of possibilities for the further development of her career.
[/vc_text_img][vc_text_img text_img_config="image-text-var" text_background="text-background-white" image="658" alignment_horizontal="center" alignment_vertical="top"]Her debuts as Elsa in Wagner's “Lohengrin” (Dresden, 2016) and Puccini's “Tosca” (New York, 2018) show how cleverly she plans her career, reinforcing her reputation as the undisputed prima donna of our days. Netrebko is a regular guest at the world's leading opera houses such as the New York Metropolitan Opera, the San Francisco Opera, the Royal Opera House in London, La Scala in Milan, the State Operas in Vienna, Munich and Berlin, the Marinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg and the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.
Her repertoire includes roles like Mimì in Puccini's "La Bohème", Violetta in Verdi's "La traviata", Tatiana in Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" as well as the title roles in Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" and Massenet's "Manon". She has been celebrated with programmes showcasing arias from opera and art song at Carnegie Hall (New York), the Waldbühne in Berlin and the Red Square in Moscow, together with super stars such as Plácido Domingo, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Daniel Barenboim. Netrebko continues to be one of the most sought-after singers at the Salzburg Festival and performs at the legendary "Nights of the Proms" in London. She also has a deep artistic relationship with her husband Yusif Eyvazov (tenor) with whom she regularly performs.
Anna Netrebko has been honoured with countless prizes. Among the most important awards are the German Media Prize, the ECHO Classic Award, the British Classical Award and the "Casta Diva" Prize. Anna Netrebko appeared on advertising campaigns of the Swiss luxury jeweller Chopard in Geneva for 10 years. Before that she had advertising contracts with the renowned cosmetic brand Schwarzkopf.

Yusif Eyvazov is a recognized specialist for the Italian repertoire. With a radiant voice, metallic brilliance, character and Italianità, he is a sincere and sensitive interpreter of great tenor roles from Verdi operas such as “Aida”, “Il trovatore”, “Un ballo in maschera” and “Macbeth”, Puccini's “Tosca”, “Manon Lescaut”, “Turandot” and “Il tabarro”, Mascagni's “Cavalleria rusticana” and Giordano's “Andrea Chénier”. He made his debut as Canio in Leoncavallo's “I pagliacci” under the baton of Plácido Domingo. He sang the Calaf in Puccini's “Turandot” for the first time at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. At the Berlin Opera he made his debut in Verdi's “Il trovatore”, an opera he recently sang with Anna Netrebko at the Arena di Verona.
[/vc_text_img][vc_text_img text_img_config="image-text-var" text_background="text-background-white" image="185" alignment_horizontal="center" alignment_vertical="top"]Eyvazov also sang the tenor part in Verdi's “Requiem” and has recently expanded his repertoire to include French roles such as the Don José in Bizet's “Carmen”. Yusif Eyvazov has received enthusiastic reviews for his interpretations at the great opera houses in Vienna, Milan, Rome, Salzburg, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Berlin and at the leading houses in Russia, South Korea and Japan. He regularly tours the world and sings in front of huge audiences at the London Night of the Proms or locations such as the Waldbühne in Berlin and the Red Square in Moscow together with stars like Plácido Domingo, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Daniel Barenboim.
Yusif Eyvazov was born in Algeria, but raised in the Azerbaijani capital Baku. Originally, the tenor wanted to become a meteorologist. When, as a student, he sang in front of friends at a party, they were so impressed that they practically forced him to enter the Music Academy in Baku. He then continued his training at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and finally moved to Italy in 1997 to study with the legendary tenor Franco Corelli and soprano Ghena Dimitrova. Yusif Eyvazov lives in Vienna together with his family.

The cliché of the voice of an angel has rarely been more true than with Sumi Jo. Jo's pure, vivaciously and impeccably conducted soprano voice apparently knows no technical limits and has retained its youthful freshness for decades. Blessed with these qualities, the South Korean soprano is the ideal singer for the coloratura repertoire. Her interpretations of the most demanding coloratura and bel canto roles, which sound almost supernatural, bright as silver and detached from any earthly weight, cause an international sensation. Her portrayals of the Queen of the Night (Mozart: “The Magic Flute”), “Lucia di Lammermoor” (Donizetti) and “Norma” (Bellini) are vocal works of art, embellished with effortless coloratura, wonderful piano effects and breathtakingly precise intonation. In roles like Sophie (“Der Rosenkavalier”), Zerbinetta (“Ariadne auf Naxos”) or the Falcon (“Die Frau ohne Schatten”) Sumi Jo also shone as an exquisite Strauss singer.

„The most important question ist not about quality. It is about knowing what exactly you should sing.“ - Elchin Azizov
Prima la musica, dopo le parole – first the music, then the words? Whether music or words take priority in opera, has been discussed for ages. In the ideal case, both come together, as opera is sung theatre and the word is the motor driving the drama and action. Very few opera singers have mastered the art of doing equal justice to the musical line and expressive content of the word. One who is able to do so is Elchin Azizov. And yet, the Azerbaijani baritone is a late bloomer, as the acclaimed star of the Bolshoi Theatre and the New York Met did not begin his career as a singer. In addition to his work as a producer, director and actor, he was formerly known on Russian television as a comedian and master of puns, when his phenomenal voice was discovered by the legendary singer Galina Wischnewskaja. At her invitation, the then 30-year-old made the decision to go to Moscow to be trained as a singer at breathtaking speed by the Georgian tenor Badri Maisuradze. Shortly after that he was engaged as a permanent member of the Bolshoi Theatre.
In every role Azizov he embodies, his origins in the performing arts are clearly perceptible. Azizov does not only have an impressively rich baritone voice. His flawless diction in several languages allows him to shape every note, every change of nuancing of the texts he sings with an astoundingly idiomatic naturalness. His leading roles include Prince Igor (Prince Igor, Rimsky-Korsakov), Grigoriy Gryaznoy (Tsar's Bride, Rimsky-Korsakov), Count Tomsky (Queen of Spades, Tchaikovsky), Ibn-Hakia (Iolanta, Tchaikovsky), Lescaut (Manon Lescaut, Puccini), Rodrigo (Don Carlo, Verdi), Giorgio Germont (La traviata, Verdi) and Escamillo (Carmen, Bizet). Outside Russia, Elchin Asisov has sung at many renowned opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House in London, the Opéra de Lyon, the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma and the Theater an der Wien.

Vasily Ladyuk has a bright, velvety baritone voice which is rare. Critics emphasize the lush timbre, his great elegance and solid technique. This allows him to place effectively sustained notes, and the rhetorical and dramatic shaping of his roles, whose inner workings he illuminates with sensitivity and nuance. With these qualities Vasily Ladyuk has made a name for himself especially as an interpreter of great roles of the Russian repertoire such as Andrei Shchelkalov (Boris Godunov), Robert (Iolanta) or Prince Yeletski (Queen of Spades).
One of his most important role portraits is "Eugene Onegin" in Tchaikovsky's opera of the same name, with which he also made his debut at the New Opera (Novaya Opera) in Moscow in 2004. Soon he also sang as a permanent guest soloist at the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre as well as the St. Petersburg Mariinsky Theatre.
[/vc_text_img][vc_text_img text_img_config="image-text-var" text_background="text-background-white" alignment_horizontal="center" alignment_vertical="center" image="727"]In addition to Russian opera, Ladyuk also sings roles by Mozart, Strauss, Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi, Puccini and Leoncavallo, and in the year of his Bolshoi debut he also sang at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Since then he has performed in many leading houses worldwide - including La Scala in Milan, the Houston Grand Opera, the Opéra National in Paris and the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels. In addition to appearances in productions by renowned directors such as Dmitri Tcherniakov. Ladyuk regularly appears in concert formats in which he likes to push the boundaries of the classical repertoire.
Vasily Ladyuk first completed a degree in choral conducting at the renowned Moscow Academy of Choral Art. From 2001 he studied solo singing with Dmitry Vdovin and won the "Concurs Tenor Viñas" in Barcelona in 2004, the competition Operalia by Plácido Domingo one year later and the opera competition in Shizuoka, Japan.

Specialised on great roles and drama queens
"If you don't know what to do with your technique, you might loose what God has given you." - Yekaterina Guanova
Specialised on exquisite vocal interpretations, drama queens and major roles for mezzo-soprano, Yekaterina Gubanova is internationally acclaimed for her interpretations. Gubanova seems to have very few linguistic and stylistic limitations: she can turn the bel canto part of Adalgisa from Bellini's "Norma" into a vocal work of art, sing Verdi's Principessa Eboli (Don Carlo), Amneris (Aida) and Azucena (Il trovatore) and give a splendid rendition of Nicklausse/Muse from Offenbach's "The Tales of Hoffmann". Her interpretation of Brangäne in Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" 2005 at the Opéra National de Paris caused an international sensation. After this success, she sang the role in Baden-Baden, Rotterdam, Tokyo, St. Petersburg and Munich under conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Valery Gergiev, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Zubin Mehta. She sang a seductive Venus in "Tannhäuser" as well as Fricka in "Das Rheingold" and "Die Walküre" under Barenboim in Berlin and Milan, demonstrating her excellent diction in both roles.
[/vc_text_img][vc_text_img text_img_config="image-text-var" text_background="text-background-white" alignment_horizontal="center" alignment_vertical="center" image="688"]Singing Judith in Bartók's "Bluebeard's Castle" (Paris), Gubanova proved how familiar she is with the repertoire of the 20th century. No need to mention that Gubanova's repertoire also includes great roles of Russian opera such as Lyubasha in Rimsky-Korsakov's "The Tsar's Bride" or Olga in Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin". Gubanova is a regular guest at opera houses like the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, the Bavarian State Opera, the Scala in Milan, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London, the Berlin State Opera, the Chicago Lyric Opera, the Vienna State Opera as well as opera houses in Paris, Barcelona and Amsterdam. She is also regularly invited to the Salzburg, Baden-Baden and Edinburgh Festivals.
Curiously enough, Gubanova did not seem to be born to a singing career. Gubanova started her musical education playing the piano and was awarded an honorary degree in choral conducting. At the age of 17, when her voice settled, she was discovered while singing in a choir. She subsequently studied singing at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, later entering the "Young Artists Programme" at the Royal Opera House (London). Gubanova plans her career wisely. In interviews she always refers to the basics of Italian opera singing.
