Edita Gruberova
Edita Gruberová was a Slovak soprano celebrated as one of the greatest coloratura voices of her generation, earning the nickname "Queen of Bel Canto" for her dazzling technical precision and dramatic intensity. Born in Bratislava in 1946, she rose to fame in the 1970s with iconic roles like Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and Zerbinetta in Strauss’s *Ariadne auf Naxos*—both featured in her recent live recordings. Her career spanned over five decades, enchanting audiences at top opera houses like Vienna State Opera and the Metropolitan Opera with her crystalline high notes and fearless interpretations of demanding roles in works by Verdi (*La traviata*, *Rigoletto*), Bellini, and Mozart.
Gruberová’s artistry extended beyond opera to lieder, showcased in releases like *Brahms, Dvořák & Strauss: Lieder*. Known for her relentless work ethic and magnetic stage presence, she remained a dominant force in classical music until her retirement in 2019. Her live performances, preserved in albums like *Edita Gruberová (Live)*, capture the magic that made her a legend. She passed away in 2021, leaving a legacy as one of opera’s most thrilling and enduring stars.
