Opera singer Angela Gheorghiu (born September 7, 1965) is one of the most famous and internationally acclaimed contemporary sopranos.

On the other hand, having an impeccable musicianship and a gorgeous voice, she's also a great interpreter of French roles. She also performs and records the music of her native Romania, whether operatic, lieder, popular or Orthodox church music.
