Angela Gheorghiu
"A star is born!" proclaimed the arts pages of the national newspapers following Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu 's overnight success as Violetta in Verdi's opera La Traviata at Covent Garden in 1994. The performance was broadcast on Radio 3, and a CD taken from the performance was one of the bestsellers of 1995. Gheorghiu talks to Joan Bakewell about this breakthrough in her career and her experience of working with Sir Georg Solti and director Richard Eyre.
