The greatest opera star of our times is back: Anna Netrebko returns with her first solo album in five years entitled Amata dalle tenebre. Celebrating her 50th Birthday in September 2021, the prima donna assoluta at the height of her formidable powers presents a dazzling array of iconic soprano arias by Verdi, Wagner, Strauss, Puccini, Cilea and Purcell, also including "Dido's Lament," Anna's first ever Baroque track in the English language.
