Ninety-Six and Counting
How does Marta Eggerth, above, plan to celebrate her 96th birthday? By singing at the Café Sabarsky at the Neue Galerie. The cabaret performance on April 17 will be her second there this month. The other performance will take place on Thursday. Ms. Eggerth, whose career has embraced operetta, opera, lieder and European and American film, gave sold-out performances in October at Café Sabarsky, where she has been appearing since 2005. She will be accompanied by the pianist David Maiullo.
Martha Eggerth is perhaps most famous for her performances as "The Merry Widow." She was married to the famous Polish tenor Jan Kiepura. A long time family friend, she is above all, a wonderful spirit.
Celebrate her (and tell her I sent you with my best regards!)
