Information from Sonostream TV
On the occasion of legendary soprano Edita Gruberova’s 45th stage anniversary, she 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.

Great post with all the necessary things to follow the event ! Edita for ever!!!! Thanks Eyes!
I hear mutterings she may not have fully retired from Munich opera stage after all… well worth seeing if only for the a) incredible stage presence and b) hilarious (in agood way) fans…
i got a gruberova button in Munich! was there listening to her when her fan first mentioned how my bobbling head the previous night in capuleti was distracting but that’s what bellini does to you… next thing i know, she took off from her shirt gruberova button and offered.. first i wasn’t quite sure how to react (b/c really, i’d loooove me a kasarova button instead…) but she insisted: take take, i have more!
