A new exhibition opens on Wednesday evening at the Czech Center New York presenting Czech female opera singers whose careers brought them onto the stage of one of the world\u2019s most prestigious opera houses \u2013 the Metropolitan Opera in New York. From opera great Emmy Destinn right up until contemporary star Magdalena Ko\u017een\xe1, these Czech prima donnas performed under the batons of world-famous conductors and alongside other renowned singers, sometimes starring in the Met\u2019s first productions of major Czech operas. I spoke to the exhibition\u2019s curator, the head of the Anton\xedn Dvo\u0159\xe1k Museum in Prague Dr. Veronika Vejvodov\xe1, in advance of the exhibition opening.
