A story circulating in the opera community held that Netrebko was discovered while scrubbing floors, by star Russian conductor Valery Gergiev. What propelled the young Netrebko's career foward was not a Cinderella story but her victory in the important Glinka Vocal Competition in Moscow.

That led to an appearance at a Bolshoi Opera concert organized by the leading Russian mezzo-soprano Irina Arkhipova, and then to the Gergiev audition. This led to Netrebko's operatic debut at St. From the start, Netrebko pursued operatic roles in Italian and German as well as in the Russian-language parts traditionally cultivated by Russian singers.

Continuing to appear frequently at the Kirov, Netrebko became known to American audiences well before she gained exposure in the rest of the operatic world. On 48 hours' notice, she was flown in to perform in a San Francisco Opera production of Mikhail Glinka's Ruslan and Lyudmila, once again conducted by Gergiev. The role perfectly fit Netrebko's sparkling, ebullient voice.

Her performance marked the beginning of a love affair between Netrebko and San Francisco audiences and critics, and she made several return visits for opera performances and concerts in the following years. San Francisco Chronicle critic Joshua Kosman wrote of a Netrebko recital in early , "Anyone fortunate enough to have been in attendance witnessed a historic event.

At the time, Netrebko was still largely unknown to international opera audiences, but over the next two years her profile was raised considerably. She made her New York debut in , with starring roles in touring productions by the Kirov Opera at the Metropolitan Opera. This was a part that seemed especially suited to her, given her physical resemblance to actress Audrey Hepburn, who had also played Natasha in the film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's classic novel.

Born in in the southern Russian city of Krasnodar, Anna Netrebko devoted herself to singing from an early age. She later studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, where she was discovered and was able to take on minor roles at the Mariinsky Theatre.
