PRESS REVIEWS
Larry L. Lash, in his review of the premiere on 2. April 2011, wrote for Opera News: Netrebko's assumption of this Donizetti queen takes her one giant leap forward to claiming the title of diva assoluta del mondo. Her huge, plummy voice sounded as beautiful as ever, but her technique showed newfound confidence in passagework, particularly in trills, and seamless runs even to the lowest notes. 

George Loomis wrote for the New York Times on 12. April 2011: Ms. Netrebko scored a personal triumph as Anna Bolena, in what may be her greatest achievement since her “Traviata” at the 2005 Salzburg Festival.

BLOG REVIEWS
Blogger CommandOpera, in a terrific review of the premiere on 2. April 2011, wrote: Perhaps the most critically important Operatic performance of this generation took place over the past weekend at the Wiener Staatsoper. Why was this assumption of Miss Netrebko as Anna Bolena of such tremendous stature? Singularly, Miss Netrebko is the only vocal artist today of her rank and presence at this precise moment in time to define where the art form of Opera currently exists.
