Gherorghiu formerly had scheduled to hold a concert in Japan in September 2010. But her performance was cancelled because her daughter had been ill. So she re-scheduled performance in the following year in Japan. However, her performance had to be cancelled again because of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, which struck Japan on March 11, 2011. It really disappointed opera fans in Japan once again.
Therefore, when she took the stage to sing the first song "Nel cor piu non mi sento" , dressed in a bluish-white gown, the audience erupt in a standing ovation.
