The Met: Anna Netrebko in Recital

The utterly captivating Russian soprano Anna Netrebko has been the Met’s go-to gala headliner for years, but now she further burnishes her credentials as a serious artist with a solo recital on the Met stage. Her program for the high-profile occasion, accompanied by the pianist Malcolm Martineau, keeps her in friendly territory, focussing on works by Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninoff.
