Russian Parliament President accuses Netrebko of “treason” – debate

The Russian parliament speaker Vyacheslav Volodin has sharply criticized the Austrian-Russian opera singer Anna Netrebko. “The voice is there, but no conscience,” he wrote on Telegram on Friday followingnoon. Since Netrebko announced on Wednesday that she condemned the “war once morest Ukraine,” she has fallen out of favor in her native Russia. Performances in Novosibirsk had already been canceled on Thursday for political reasons.
