On the occasion of King Michael I's 91st birthday, Angela Gheorghiu received today the Nihil Sine Deo decoration, a royal medal to award her exceptional merits in promoting Romanian culture.
Pentru ca reprezinta un simbol al valorilor culturale perene ale operei mondiale, al devenirii prin educatie si cultura si al Romaniei peste hotare, pentru cariera sa bogata, pentru talentul sau exemplar si pentru maretia reprezentatiilor sale scenice, pentru bogatia rolurilor interpretate si pentru ca prin activitatea sa publica promoveaza profesionalismul si demnitatea omului de cultura. Pentru sustinerea publica a familiei mele, pentru intarirea legaturii dintre Romania si familiile regale ale lumii, prin reprezentatiile sale internationale.
Because she is a symbol of the ageless cultural values of the opera, of the fulfillment through education and culture, a symbol for Romania abroad. For her vaste career, for her extraordinary talen and for the greatness of her performances. For the diversity of the roles performed on stage and for promoting the professionalism and dignity of the man of culture through her public activity. For the public support offered to my family, for consolidating the bond between Romania and other royal families in the world through her international performances.
