She caught the traditional boisterous mood of the "last night" and lifted it higher. Even the conductor began to understand this event. Great entertainment. Brava!
Netrebko does these outrageous things, but she gets away with them because they work with the material, and more importantly, because she truly does channel the character, Guiditta.
It's more obvious in this video than some others because of the English subtitles.
Her critics usually ramble on about all sorts of irrelevancies. What matters is the total effect, which was abundantly clear from the audience's reaction.
Opera is showmanship, and Netrebko is a showman par excellence.
