Anna Netrebko on her role in La Boheme for PBS

Great Performances had a chance to sit-down with opera diva Anna Netrebko, star of Robert Dornhelms film-for-television adaption of Puccinis La Boheme, premiering on PBS on December 23rd at 9pm (check local listings). Senior Publicist Jitin Hingorani chatted with Netrebko about her experience shooting the film, her recent pregnancy, and her ideas on how opera has changed over the years. Netrebko (Mimi) is joined by her on-screen partner Rolando Villazon (Rodolfo) in the film; they are often referred to as operas golden couple.

the male part of the staging was awesome, esp. the two main characters. Stage sets were gorgeous. But Netrebko herself, to me, was too sweet of a candy... She's young, so I wish her all success.
