Comment

Last Night of the Proms, with the BBCSO, conducted by Belohlávek.

"Then the evening's real star turn, the erratic, mischief-making diva Anna Netrebko, finally arrived, and mayhem ensued. Having announced in a recent interview that she wondered whether her aria from Bellini's La Sonnambula might send people to sleep, she made sure none of us dozed by letting fly volleys of perfectly placed top E flats. She returned after the interval
for the provocative Meine Lippen, Sie Küssen so Heiss from Lehar's Giuditta, marauding barefoot round the orchestra and touching up several cellists, before distributing roses to a number of men who were clamouring for her, while everyone else went berserk. Belohlavek acquitted himself admirably - though this will doubtless always be remembered as Anna Netrebko's Last
Night of the Proms" (Review by Tim Ashley, The Guardian, 9/10/07).
