Disco icon Gloria Gaynor, 83, announced Tuesday she will perform in Israel for a special one-night concert on April 13 at the Tel Aviv Opera House. This marks her return to the same venue where she last performed over a decade ago to a warm reception. The legendary diva will be accompanied by an ensemble of ten musicians for the upcoming show.
Ticket sales have commenced, with prices starting at 334 shekels for the eighth tier and reaching up to 864 shekels for the first tier. Gaynor, whose career spans over five decades, is renowned for hits like "Never Can Say Goodbye," "I Am What I Am," and "I Will Survive," the latter becoming an international anthem of resilience.
Beyond her musical achievements, Gaynor has been recognized for her humanitarian work, including receiving the Martin Luther King Jr. Award from Israel's former Consul General in New York, Ido Aharoni. She has also received the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor in the United States.
Gaynor has consistently expressed her support for Israel, particularly following the October 7th attacks. She attended the premiere of "The Children of October 7," a documentary by activist Montana Tucker, and collaborated with Tucker on a video tribute to the resilience of the Israeli people set to "I Will Survive."
The concert organizers have cautioned against purchasing tickets from unofficial sources or resellers, warning that tickets obtained through such means will not be honored by the venue or customer service. Gaynor's last performance in Israel was on July 29, 2015.
