What a pity this video isn't longer! Netrebko is ALWAYS at her best in Russian opera, she commands the vocal style and technique that are required for great singing in Russian style. Her "Russian Album" is amazing and one of my favorites happens to be Iolanta's aria. ;-)
Beautiful voice, but why isn't she playing blind? The aria doesn't have much sense without it.

Pity she couldnt afford Rostropovich to teach her how to sing this opera.

At first I thought"Oh no, it's just lifted off the TV, with bad audio quality" but I couldn't stop watching her...she is a dream.
