On the occasion of legendary soprano Edita Gruberova's 45th stage anniversary, the artist will perform her very first live streamed concert.
The event features an exciting international cast of renowned singers, including tenor Jose Bros, mezzo soprano Sonia Ganassi, and baritone Paolo Gavanelli. Several up-and-coming talents will also be performing: tenor Randall Bills—a member of the ensemble of Oper Leipzig, who will make his NYCO debut this spring—and basses Leonard Bernad, currently a member of the Opera Studio of Oper Köln, and Sung Heon Ha, a member of the ensemble of Nationaltheater Mannheim. The concert will be conducted by Pietro Rizzi, who leads the Münchner Opernorchester and the Philharmonia Chor Wien.
Gruberova, a native of Slovakia, is one of the most acclaimed coloratura sopranos of recent decades. She made her professional debut as Rosina in The Barber of Seville on February 18, 1968, at the National Theater in Bratislava.
