Romanian-born Angela Gheorghiu, one of the most celebrated and gifted opera singers of our time, burst onto the classical music scene in 1992 with debuts at three of the world’s most illustrious stages: the Royal Opera House in London, The Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the Vienna State Opera. Since then, she has graced the stages of opera houses and concert halls across the globe, and today—looking and sounding as glamorous as ever—she is recognized by critics and opera lovers as one of the great sopranos of all time.

Throughout her illustrious career, Angela Gheorghiu has collaborated with the world’s most prestigious opera directors, conductors, and vocalists. In addition, as an exclusive artist with EMI Classics, she has recorded numerous audio releases—for which she has been awarded accolades including the Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or Award, USA Critics’ Award, and Female Artist of the Year from the Classical Brit Awards.

"It's hard to imagine anyone bettering Angela Gheorghiu… her voice, feather-light and creamy yet with a core of steel," commented The Observer. “…simply unforgettable.”

At her IU Auditorium engagement, Ms. Gheorghiu will be accompanied by Jeff Cohen and will be performing the following repertoire:
