milyon88 At a Gilded Florida Resort, Anna Netrebko Tries U.S. Comeback

The stage was setmilyon88, the chandeliers dimmed and the audience hushed. Then the superstar Russian soprano Anna Netrebko, in a ruffled flamingo-pink gown and sparkling heels, made her entrance on Monday in the gilded ballroom of the Breakers hotel in Palm Beach.

Ms. Netrebko was performing in the United States for the first time since the invasion of Ukraine, when she became persona non grata at American cultural institutions because of her past support of Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin.

It was, perhaps, a comedown since her last appearance, a starry New Year’s Eve gala in 2019 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where, as the company’s prima donna, she commanded an audience of about 3,800 that included legions of fans.

Now, banned from performing at the Met,gold99 she was on a far smaller stage as the main attraction at a gala for the Palm Beach Opera in Florida, singing a recital before an audience of about 450, including financiers, opera buffs, socialites and snowbirds. Pro-Ukrainian protesters, holding signs that read “Putin’s Soprano,” gathered outside.

“It’s been awhile since I’ve been in the U.S.,” Ms. Netrebko said from the stage. “This city’s just like a paradise. So beautiful. You are lucky to live here.”
