Štefan Margita, the tenor from Košice in eastern Slovakia, is rightly considered one of the best-known and most highly sought-after (Czecho)Slovak opera singers. Over a prolific performing career he has achieved veritable world acclaim, appearing on the most prestigious opera stages abroad including London's Covent Garden, Milan's La Scala and New York's Metropolitan Opera. A former laureate of the Prague Spring international music festival in 1986, his operatic repertoire specialises in the work of Slav composers (above all Leoš Janáček) and Richard Wagner, and much of his concert repertoire includes material by Bartók, Beethoven, Dvořák, Mahler and Mozart. Reviewers make special mention of his sure-footed and precise intonations, his exceptionally rich and cultivated voice, his composure in all voice ranges and registers, his forceful projection, and his remarkable ability to differentiate clearly between nuances of style, dynamic and colour.

In 2017 Štefan Margita received a state award for artistic merit from the Czech President. Joining him in this Christmas gala concert are the distinguished soprano Kateřina Kněžíková and the baritone National Theatre opera soloist Jiří Brückler. Conducting the Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic Orchestra is Robert Jindra.
