Opera Anna Netrebko

In this Friday, Sept. 13, 2013 photo provided by the Metropolitan Opera, Anna Netrebko performs as Tatiana in Tchaikovsky?s ?Eugene Onegin? during a dress rehearsal at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Netrebko opened the Met Opera season in 2011 as the lead in Gaetano Donizetti’s “Anna Bolena,” and again in 2012 as the lead in the same composer’s comedy, “L’Elisir d’Amore.” When the Russian diva launches the Met season in “Eugene Onegin” on Sept. 23, 2013, it will mark her third consecutive opening night ? a milestone no soprano has ever reached before in leading roles.
