Edita Gruberová

Edita Gruberová is really a coloratura soprano, most widely known for her shows of Mozart and Strauss operas, but additionally strongly identified using the bel canto revival. She researched in her hometown of Bratislava, and in Vienna and Prague, finally producing her professional debut as Rosina in Rossini’s Barber of Seville on the Slovak Country wide Movie theater in 1968. An engagement to sing Mozart’s Queen of the night time using the Vienna Condition Opera in 1970 was pivotal in building her profession. She joined the business as a normal member in 1972, and in a short time she had produced effective debuts at Glyndebourne (1973), the Salzburg Celebration (1974, as Thibault in Verdi’s Don Carlo with Karajan), as well as the Metropolitan Opera (1977, once again as Mozart’s Queen). Through the past due 1970s and early 1980s she debuted at lots of the world’s various other major homes, including Covent Backyard, La Scala, as well as the Chicago Lyric, but her plan remained focused across the homes of central European countries — a craze that has continuing throughout her profession. By 2004, Gruberová was still seeking a full plan of operatic and concert performances. Other Mozart jobs that Gruberová is certainly strongly connected with consist of Constanze in Pass away Entführung aus dem Serail and, relatively amazingly, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni — a far more lyrical function that does not have the high-flying coloratura that’s usually her phoning card.

One of the bel canto operas, Donizetti’s Lucia and Anna Bolena, Rossini’s Semiramide, and Bellini’s I Capuleti e I Montecchi possess thought prominently in her achievement.
