Sensational Russian soprano Anna Netrebko - "Audrey Hepburn with a voice," according to one critic - has taken the opera world by storm, dazzling audiences in Vienna, Milan, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles. Now she takes on the role of the fragile Elvira, who goes mad when abandoned at the altar, in Bellini's I Puritani . With its vocal fireworks and deep pathos, this has been a supreme role for great singing actresses, from Maria Callas to Beverly Sills. Tenor Eric Cutler stars as Lord Arturo Talbot.
