Released in March 2005 by Patria Productions, the dual album spans her most popular repertoire including selections of operetta luminaries who specifi cally composed for her, including Franz Lehar, Robert Stolz and Paul Abraham. Her career is highlighted by numerous operetta roles, most notably as Hanna Glawari in Lehar's The Merry Widow, a role she performed more than 200 times in fi ve languages on Broadway and throughout the world.

Marta Eggerth, My Life My Song was a project spearheaded by Jane Knox Kiepura, executive producer and co-founder of Patria Productions. Patria Productions was founded by Jane Knox Kiepura, along with her husband, Marjan Kiepura, the son of Marta Eggerth and the late Polish Tenor Jan Kiepura. The project involved compiling recordings spanning more than 70 years, as well as searching and evaluating family collections, and dealing with collectors worldwide.
