Question by brillamont_student: Anna Netrebko the new Callas?
I’ve heard people say Anna Netrebko will probably be the new Maria Callas in a few years, that her voice is near perfection, etc. To anyone who’s more informed in classical music than me: is this true?

No, Netrebko is FAR better than that squawking Callas.

I believe that they are who they are. Their sound is different and they in general are two different women. Callas is a dramatic coloratura while Netrebko is a full lyric soprano. As much as Anna tries to sing as a coloratura it is to no success.
Also watch some of Anna's interviews, she's not very bright and acts quite immature.

Why can't Anna Netrebko be Anna? Comparisons are useless. Let Maria be Maria, and Anna be Anna.
… just like Pavarotti wasn't "the new" Enrico Caruso.
