Eva Urbanová, opera singer, soloist of the National Theatre Opera in Prague, and guest artist at prestigious foreign opera houses (including New York’s Metropolitan Opera) celebrates 20 years as a concert and opera soloist this May.

It includes her suggestive Kostelnička in Janáček’s Jenůfa, stirring Libuše in Smetana’s gala opera, Puccini’s Tosca and Turandot and other gems.
