Her CDs are selling extremely well, and in Europe her music DVD hit the number one slot on the charts, way ahead of known musical divas Beyoncé and Britney Spears. It is said that she is breathing new life into opera, a musical genre that has been stigmatized as stuffy for years. But Anna Netrebko is luring the youth to embrace her music and create open mindedness in regard to opera.

The Emergenza Festival is hosted annually, and held its first music festival in 1994 in the city of Rome. It has grown into a festival that spans across approximately one hundred and fifty venues in the United States of America and in Europe.
