Cultural Calendar

RITA is by far the most celebrated and successful singer in Israel. In 2008 she was voted number 1 female singer in a special countdown for Israel's 60th anniversary. Twenty five years after her career began, RITA continues to prove, with crowded theatres and stadiums alike and with multi-platinum albums, that she is by far the biggest female vocalist Israel has to offer.

Her unique voice has gained worldwide attention many times. Now her first American single “Love has begun” is penetrating the American music charts and conquering a respectful place in the top 40! RITA was nominated for the New Music Weekly Awards as “Top 40 Breakthrough Artist for 2009”!!!

In addition to being a successful singer, RITA, a graduate of one of the most respected acting schools in Israel, has performed in dozens of plays and movies. In 1989 Rita won "Actress of the Year" in the Israeli cinema awards.

Moved by her passion to explore new ways to use her voice, Rita began working with classical ensembles and with acoustic versions of her music, revealing a new side of herself to her devoted audience. Her efforts led her to release her latest intimate album "Remazim" (produced by Israeli rock star, Ivri Lider). The album has reached double platinum status.

Throughout her career Rita has sold over a million copies of her albums, has won dozens awards acknowledging her contribution and talent and was named the Best Female Performer and Singer of Israel.

In the 2010 US tour Rita and her six piece band will entice audiences with favorite hits and new songs alike. Don’t miss this opportunity to see a true Israeli cultural Icon!!!
