Anna Netrebko at Women in the World Summit

Miss Netrebko took time out from her busy rehearsal schedule to bust out a quick aria at the close of day two of the Women in the World Summit. Thanks to The Daily Beast for posting the video!

Puccini's "O mio babbino caro" is a bit of a cliche, and kind of a let down for those familiar with Netrebko's vocal prowess, but I can understand why she chose this. It's a short aria you can throw together with any accompanist. I don't know who the accompanist in this performance was, but I can guarantee anyone versed in collaborative piano has played this ditty before.

A great performance by an amazing musician for an inspiring event. Follow Women in the World 2012 at The Daily Beast or on Twitter with #WitW12.
