Opera singer Anna Netrebko expecting
Russian opera soprano Anna Netrebko, 36, has announced that she and fiance, Uruguayan baritone Erwin Schrott, 35, are expecting their first child this fall. In a released statement, Anna said,
We are both very, very happy that soon there will be three of us.
Due to the pregnancy, Anna has pulled out of Charles Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet at the Salzburg Festival in August and talks are underway for future projects. Her manager Jeffrey Vanderveen stated in an email that,
Bottom line is: She will sing as long as her doctors say it is fine. When she comes back is a life decision [and a vocal decision] that she is considering now.

Congratulations! She’s incredible! I was lucky enough to see her in a production of Carmen.

We recently saw her in the Met’s production of Romeo & Juliette. She was remarkable. Her beauty is the first thing you notice, but she is also a generational talent. Her performing abilities are unmatched. And her boyfriend is really hot, lol.

Yay! Congrats to her. I love her voice, and I would be interested to know whether her child inherits his/her parents’ stunning vocal talents (and smashing good looks)!

They are both so beautiful and incredibly gifted singers. That baby is not only going to be gorgeous but come out of the womb singing!
