Anna Netrebko on the cover of German magazine Das Opernglas

Anna Netrebko is on the cover of the December issue of the German magazine Das Opernglas. The magazine includes also an interview with Anna Netrebko in which she talks about her plans for the upcoming years.

Netrebko would like to give priority to family life, her son Tiago Arua and her fiance and father of her son Erwin Schrott, and during the early years their son probably will travel with them. Later on, when Tiago Aruä will start to go to the school, they will have to decide in which country they would like to live. Austria, where they live now is a fantastic option, but Spain also has a good chance.

In order to get more time for her son, Netrebko will reduce also the number of performances to sing, singing 5 or 6 performances of a production, rather than 8 or 9 like she was doing up to now.
