Romanian Angela Gheorghiu acclaimed at debut on Washington National Opera stage
She had never sang in Washington for large audiences before, although she had sung numerous times at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The Romanian soprano had a private recital at Kennedy Center in Washington in 2009, for the mezzo-soprano Grace Bumbry. That recital was then attended by American president Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Angela Gheorghiu is scheduled to perform alongside her husband, tenor Roberto Alagna, at the Covent Garden in London, in Puccini's 'La Boheme' on June 19 and 23, marking 20 years since her debut in London. It will also be the first after a long time when she performs on stage together with her husband.
