Iolanta
World-renowned soprano Anna Netrebko is "a singer who simply has it all: a voice of astounding purity, precision, and scope… combined with a dazzling charisma" -San Francisco Chronicle. Her much anticipated return to the Royal Albert Hall sees her singing the title role of Tchaikovsky's Iolanta.
After the sold-out success of Anna Netrebko’s European tour, Tchaikovsky’s glorious one-act opera, full of irresistibly enchanting melodies, comes to the Royal Albert Hall for one performance only.
In the mountains of Southern France in the 15th century, a blind princess has her sight restored by a mysterious doctor through the power of virginal love.
"Anna Netrebko sounded gloriously comfortable in her native language and pouring out a stream of gold-shot-with-silver sound even throughout the range. I doubt if the role has been sung better in living memory…" Hugh Canning, Opera Magazine
"…the role proved to be a near perfect match for her lustrous, resonant soprano". New York Times.
