Russian soprano Anna Netrebko lights up opera stage in ‘La Traviata’

SAN FRANCISCO – From the moment she rolls on stage in a 1929 Buick for the opening party scene of Verdi’s “La Traviata,” Anna Netrebko pretty much obliterates everything in her path.
Just try taking your eyes off the Russian soprano as she sings and acts her way through the role of Violetta, a 19th-century Parisian courtesan who falls in love, makes a noble sacrifice and eventually dies of tuberculosis.
Netrebko, at 37, is an opera star at the height of her considerable powers. And her appearance is unquestionably the highlight of the San Francisco Opera’s annual “summer season,” though the other productions – Puccini’s “Tosca” and Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” – have much to recommend them.
