On the website (www.martoneva.hu), we are launching a series entitled "Marton & Marton Stories," in which I will recount—in some places in more detail—moments from my wife's rich career, opera singer Éva Marton, based on my diaries and my book "In the Service of the Empress Vol. 1 and 2”. The two volumes are available for purchase in the Hungarian State Opera House shop.

THIS YEAR MARKS THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIENNIAL COMPETITION, AND TO COMMEMORATE THIS OCCASION, WE SPOKE WITH WORLD RENOWNED OPERA SINGER, PROFESSOR EMERITA ÉVA MARTON – WHOSE NAME THE COMPETITION BEARS - ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EVENT, WHICH WILL BE HELD FOR THE SIXTH TIME FROM SEPTEMBER 1 TO 8.
