ANNA NETREBKO COMMEMORATES THE 125TH ANNIVERSARY OF VERDI’S PASSING

Last night, along with baritone Ludovic Tézier and pianist Nelson Calzi, Anna Netrebko marked the 125th anniversary of the death of Giuseppe Verdi with a recital programme dedicated to the legendary composer. It took place in the 300-seat Teatro Verdi in Busseto, whose construction Verdi partially financed. Beforehand, on the piazza in front of the theatre, a stone was commemorated in Anna’s honour on the “Strada del Melodramma,” a project of the Museo Renata Tebaldi. Dinner afterwards (at the Ristorante Alle Roncole) was a stone’s throw from Verdi’s childhood home.
