After the baby, I got bigger, and I like it. I like me better now than when I was young and skinny. I don't understand this extreme fashion for being anorexic-skinny. We forgot about women with curves - real women. We're not embracing that anymore. Anna Netrebko anorexicanymorebaby share on social
I prefer it when the conductor follows me. It is more difficult to work with a conductor who does not listen - even if I understand that sometimes it makes sense when one person is ruling everything. But for bel canto, I have to have a conductor who listens and supports me. Anna Netrebko belcantoconductor share on social
I'm just a normal person. It's not like I come home and think about opera. My thoughts are about completely other things. Shoes! Dresses! Expensive ones: with a pretty silhouette, beautiful fabrics. Anna Netrebko beautifulcompletelydress Change image and share on social

I prefer department stores. In boutiques, they come up and ask you if you need help. I can't get lost in the experience. Anna Netrebko boutiquedepartmentexperience Change image and share on social
For me, St. Petersburg is the city that I can never escape because it has this special energy, even a dark energy. It keeps pulling me back. Anna Netrebko backcitydark Change image and share on social
I know what I want, and I know what needs to be done to make my performance better. So I do these little askings, about the lights and costumes. It's not the diva speaking. It's the artist who knows how it has to be done. Anna Netrebko artistaskingcostume share on social
