@assindiastignani Following historical facts you're absolutely right, but my answer was addressed to an nut who didn't understand her gesture accordining to the scene.The most important that she could render the character of Anne Boleyn and her singing was good and very convincing. Thanks for your historical remarks.
@spqrmor The hair was out up in a sort of bonnet. The guillotine was not invented until the late 18th century - Anne Boleyn was executed by the sword. The execution was delayed sevaral days because Henry VIII, acceeding to Anne's request, sent to France for a specialist. Her head was severed from her body while she was in a kneeling position. The axe was messy and often enough the executioner missed the nape of the neck on the first swing, and had to chop again. Imagine!!
@operafantic Before an execution one's long hair must have to be cut or to be put away,so her move was exactly right corresponding with that guilliotine scene.
@allanaki Tutta la tecnica è approssimativa. La Netrebko sta bene a fare verismo: che se ne rimanga in quel repertorio!

@allanaki Approssimativi è bell' detto. Una bellissima voce lirica e leggiera, ma una Anna Bolena...veramante no.
