When I am not on the stage, it is always very difficult for the public to find me! I am a private person who does not always want to be in the spotlight! Anna Netrebko difficultfindperson Change image and share on social
I do not have voice for Russian music; I cannot be cute little peasant like in operas of Glinka or Rimsky-Korsakov. I am now never in Russia; I am Austrian citizen. But definitely I am Latin! Anna Netrebko austriancitizencute Change image and share on social
