  Published: 12 July 2010

  Anna Netrebko has again been nominated for an Echo Klassik award, the German equivalent of the American Grammy Awards. The Russian soprano has taken home at least one prize at each of the past six ceremonies. Last year Netrebko won the Echo Klassik award in the category “Opera Recording of the Year” for her album La Bohème. In 2004 and 2005 she won for “Female Singer of the Year,” and for three consecutive years in row starting in 2005 Netrebko received the award for “Bestselling Album of the Year.”

  The 17th annual Echo Klassik Awards will be held on October 17, 2010 at the home of the Essen Philharmonic in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. German radio and television personalities Sabine Heinrich and Matthias Opdenhövel will host. Since their inception in 1992, the Echo Awards have been given to the world’s top performers in both pop and classical music. For the 15th year in a row, the awards will be broadcast on German’s ZDF channel.
  

• Critics praise Anna Netrebko’s Manon at Covent Garden

  Published: 30 June 2010

  Anna Netrebko’s performance in Laurent Pelly’s new production of Manon at the Royal Opera House has received unanimous acclaim from London critics. “Anna Netrebko is a striking Manon,” wrote The Evening Standard. “Pelly has his lechers circle her, gasping with admiration but groping like predators. Netrebko’s Manon has them in the palm of her hand, her control underlined by her formidable vocal delivery, complete with stratospheric E flat.” The Telegraph declared that Netrebko “gives herself wholeheartedly to Manon...and sings with polish and precision... She was in magnificent voice and her sheer joy in performing was contagious.” The Independent lauded the soprano’s vocal characterization as “spot on” and wrote that her singing was “not just fabulous but meaningful”. Covent Garden’s Manon runs through July 10, and Netrebko will take the role to Japan on tour with the Royal Opera House this September.
