Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov dedicate themselves to the Russian repertoire, singing excerpts from Piotr I. Tchaikovsky’s operas The Queen of Spades, Eugene Onegin and Iolanta. Mikhail Tatarnikov conducts the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg at the Großes Festspielhaus. Juan Diego Flórez performs works by Bellini, Verdi, Massenet and Puccini, accompanied by Vincenzo Scalera at the piano.
