I was lucky yesterday to get a ticket for opera Manon with Anna Netrebko. Well, it was not planned, but I am really happy I went there. So many people are facinated about Netrebko and her voice and I have to admit that her voice in very powerful and beautiful indeed. I also liked how Massimo Giordano sang his part. The best review I found here, written by the Associated Press Writer GEORGE JAHN. It was the first time I've seen Manon, so it was really interesting for me also to follow the plot (it was in French). The costumes and decoration are worth being mentioned, they are quite modern (some are in style of Viennese balls, dont take me wrongly but they are!) and a bit provocative as they, I guess, are supposed to be. And almost naked Massimo is worth seeing also! Viennese opera is one of the best in the world, so if you have chance to go there, I definitely recommend to do so. I will also post a video I found on YouTube from the last year performance with Netrebko in Manon, but with another partner (I don't have time to look up his name now):
