"Glamorous opera diva Anna Netrebko comes to her alma mater this week for two performances in the role of Adina in a new production of Gaetano Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’amore on Jan. 24 and 27. Netrebko, who has already sung Adina to great international acclaim and even recorded a DVD of the opera, partnered by the popular Mexican tenor Rolando Villazon, will be making her debut in the role on home soil. The new production of this comic melodrama — a favorite with opera houses across the globe — also marks the Mariinsky Theater’s first ever interpretation of the work." [Source]
