The internationally renowned soprano Anna Netrebko will meet art lovers in Guangzhou on October 4 for the first time, followed by another performance in Shanghai. The Recital forms part of the ongoing 2023 Guangzhou Art Season.

The Russian opera singer was described as "the most dazzling international opera star after Pavarotti" by the music magazine Opera News and has been praised by the New York Times as the "diva of opera."

When Anna Netrebko auditioned for the Mariinsky Theatre in 1993, she met her vocal mentor, conductor Valery Gergiev, who recognized her from her prior work in the theatre. Ms Netrebko made her opera debut as Susanna in Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" (The Marriage of Figaro) at the Mariinsky Theater, St. Petersburg, in 1994.

Opera star Ms Netrebko is arguably today's reigning soprano. She has performed widely at many leading opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera in New York, La Scala in Milan, the Royal Opera House, Vienna State Opera, Berlin State Opera, and many others.
