Adorable. He's got Erwin's hair and Anna's round face. That is one cute kid!

OC,
You're such a class act! You bting the human part of the artistic experience!

I rarely think babies are cute.
Having said that, Tiago is enters the realm of about four children whom I think are indescribably cute.

Sorry, that;s a cute kid. Haters to the left!
But that outfit with the gray pants and plaid shirt has got to go.

All are looking well. He is adorable.

Little Tiago certainly has an opera singer's head. That said, he's a very cute baby without being overtly pretty. The little fauxhawk is about as adorable as anything I've ever seen.

Great photos - Daddy Schrott is here this week to do the Boito Mifistofele prologo with Papano - I am assuming Anna will be in the audience on Saturday night.
The English website for the ANSC has the following blurb:
We almost always tend to picture the Devil as a horned monster. In a word, repellant. But if he has the capacity to seduce us with all those temptations for which we humans promptly fall, he must be equipped with superior intelligence, to begin with, and he must also be irresistibly attractive.
Therefore, Uruguayan bass Erwinn Schrott is made to play Mephistopheles. Dazzling as a fallen angel (and the fortunate consort of equally gorgeous Anna Netrebko, the celebrated Russian soprano who recently gave him a son) Schrott will sing the title role in the Prologue to the opera Mephistopheles by Arrigo Boito, the pièce de résistance in the first concert in May conducted by Antonio Pappano.
Oh and we also get the Verdi Te Deum and Beethoven Number 1 - just in case the hotness of Schrott was not enough.

Such a cute baby. And what a lovely family. Hope to see them in Vienna.

God bless him! He's SO adorable!!! Thanks so much for posting these pics, OC!

Beautiful photos! You can see the happiness radiating off the proud parents. Baby T is adorable.
Posted by: Susan | April 28, 2009 at 02:43 PM
I hope they are a happy and healthy family.
That said.... here is what I know will be an unpopular opinion: Anyone who didn't know the "old" Netrebko might look at these photos and say this person is the singer lauded as the bomba sexy most glamorous woman in opera???
I wonder if she is ever going to get her looks back!

Am I the only one who noticed that baby T is cross-eyed? He must be too smart for his own good.

Alternatively, he may be just short/longsighted. My little brother was like this and it was longsightedness. So what, that's why people invented glasses/contacts.
I have to make a couple of "Ellie" like comments here though.
(1) The happy family... outside Chopard. Am I the only one who wants to puke at the corporatedness of it all?
(2) Schrott is starting to get a bit *too* thin. Anna's obviously eating all the food in the household :-)
Note, that I'm a reasonably big fan of Trebs' and a massive one of Schrott's. On stage, that is. Outside Chopard, I just want to puke...

Ta OC. ADORABLE!
Posted by: val | April 29, 2009 at 09:57 AM
Oh, Popp, don't get sick over it! Chopard is great...if you can afford it. And mama's claim to fame is her love of shopping...she's the Darwinist of opera singers. Not every great soprano gets to advertise a six figure necklace, sing Verdi, AND get great reviews. Babsky has the same unphased glow and round cheeks from dining out all around the world. Don't you wish you had one just like him on your arm?
Posted by: ellie | April 29, 2009 at 11:10 AM
Oh goodness Casual Opera Fan give the woman a break, she's the mother of a small child, getting her looks back is for later! When mine were that age I regarded it is a triumph if I managed to get up dressed (in something not classified as 'loungewear' and not covered in baby puke and last night's dinner) for long enough to take the mountain of takeout cartons down to the bins.
She looks pretty damn good to me.

Popp Fanatic - hey if the rich folks want to stump up so us plebs have a few cheap seats for their kind of thing, and I have 'my kind of thing' happening off the back of the corporate event profits, then yay! Let them sell their junk, and good on AN for helping them out. As long as I get my Handel, and my cheap seats at the Met I could care less about rich folk selling other rich folk rich folks junk.

Trebs looks fine but its been 8 months and people get into good shape in much less time with that. Its not like she doesn't have domestic help.
Cheap seats. We can affirm that 38 CHF seats in Zurich offer a superior visual and aural experience to $275 at the Met.

I don't mind the "bling" aspect of it. Being a guy, all I know about jewelry is that (sexist comment alert) it makes women suddenly and happily dump four decades of admirable liberation struggle down the drain. Neither does the conspicuous consumption bother me. They've got cash - good for them. It's not as if they stole it, after all.
As for cheap seats, ROH statisticians can be bear witness to the sucker I am (4x2 stalls tix on 6,7,8,9 July were rather painful to shell out)...
It's the clammy corporate product placement that turns my stomach. OK, so Trebs is Chopart ambassatrix, or whatever, but the picture of poor Schrott and the Hell Spawn (TM - can't remember where I picked this off)selling out just make me sad.

Sometimes small is better.
Posted by: ellie | April 29, 2009 at 07:08 PM
Cheap seats at the Met = $20 for the "rush" stalls tickets. Mind you they do make you queue for 4 bours in the cold down by the garage for the privilege :) And yeah Zurich is great but god forbid you should want to do anything mad in Switzerland, like have a coffee... Whatever way you look at it opera ain't a cheap passion.

Less than 8 months to recover from passing a watermelon and the hormone storm that happens after (over, and over again, for years)??That's some domestic help :)
Posted by: Purity | April 29, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Greediness is a serious disease; Netrebko is too hungry for money and fame.
Posted by: Dino | April 30, 2009 at 12:08 AM
would it be politically incorrect to say that I don't find the baby cute at all? have you guys ever seen beautiful babies?sorry I like Anna, not so crazy about Erwin, but the baby is not beautiful
