Anna Netrebko was born on 18 September 1971 in Krasnodar. A Russian-born operatic soprano who also holds Austrian citizenship, Netrebko trained in Saint Petersburg and began her career at the Mariinsky Theatre. Her international breakthrough came at the Salzburg Festival in 2002, when she sang Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni, and she then became a leading singer at the Metropolitan Opera, the Vienna State Opera and other major houses. She is known for roles in operas by Verdi, Puccini and Donizetti. After Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 she was criticised for her past closeness to Vladimir Putin and lost engagements at several Western theatres, and she has said she opposes the war.
