Only the Germans… Well, I never got the lesbian vibe watching her on stage, but it would say a lot about why Peter Gelb (the Great Satan) likes her so much…
As was well chronicled on the opera blogs yesterday (operachick broke the story), after much gossip among the Germans, Anna Netrebko felt the need to clarify, “Ein für alle Mal: Ich bin nicht lesbisch!" Well, she didn’t say she has never had a lesbian experience: she could still have another top selling video if it was on tape. I for one think a little rug munching could be a great career move as it certainly would fill up the opera house with a different crowd.
Apparently Anna met German (lesbian) pop sensation Lucy Diakovska at a taping of a television program and the two hit it off (in a non-sexual way) and went out to lunch a few times. Photos were taken of the friends and suddenly every man in the Father Land had something new to dream of.
I feel that this only strengthens my case that Anna is the opera world’s Angelina Jolie…Sexual ambiguity and so on.
Take a look at the clip above and tell me it isn’t a little lesbianesque. I do wish that more of our divas sparked this sort of controversy.In other news, Netrebko will be taking on the Strauss rarity Das Lesbische Jungfrau (the Virgin Lesbian)in a Peter Sellers production this year at Santa Fe, and her next album will be a studio production complete with Ann Shophie von Otter. The opera is the tale of a virgin (das Junfrau, sung by Netrebko) who gives up her “golden rose” to sexually adventurous older woman (von Otter) who in the end goes back to her husband (Botha). The Junfrau is ruined and kills herself in a fit of anger and sexual furry…in other words, it’s like everything else the von Hofmannsthal/Strauss team ever did.

I strongly object to your derisive and homophobic comments! A singer's (or anyone's) sexual orientation has nothing to do with their performance of their chosen career.
