Following her well publicized health issues earlier this summer, Canadian Opera star Measha Brueggergosman is back performing. The talented multi-award winning soprano known around the world has been described as a “singer with rare gifts and artistic intensity.” The Fredericton-born soprano, who now calls Nova Scotia home, told Classical FM’s Mark Wigmore, she has a history of heart issues including recent bypass surgery on June 13th. But 10 years prior, she underwent open heart surgery after suffering a life-threatening tear in her aorta.
