Opera singer Dana Bramane will perform alongside colleagues Annija Kristiāna Ādamsona, Sonora Vaice, Rihards Mačanovskis, and Dainis Kalnačs in a summer evening concert featuring fragments from Strauss's operettas "Die Fledermaus" and "Der Zigeunerbaron", as well as famous waltzes like "The Blue Danube" and "Tales from the Vienna Woods". The event will be hosted by actor Mārtiņš Upenieks, and dancers from the "Vecrīga" dance studio will accompany the performance. Bramane expresses confidence that it will be a beautiful evening.

In an interview, the singer admits that while she hasn't experienced extremely extreme events, her profession ensures life is never monotonous. Unexpected twists and situations occur at every turn. She cites the birth of her two sons, Rojs and Niks, as the most touching moments, as both were eagerly awaited.

Since her work is also her hobby, she doesn't need to seek inspiration, but family and time spent in nature or by the sea recharge her. Her healthy habit is long walks in nature; her guilty pleasure is sweets. The most important life lesson she has learned is that unsolicited advice or help is not appreciated but rather judged, so one should focus on oneself. She recommends Michael Newton's book "Journey of Souls".

Musically, Bramane enjoys light foreign pop music, Frank Sinatra, jazz, Whitney Houston, and various classical performers. Her most spontaneous purchase was a car before she had obtained a driver's license. When asked about her ideal time and place to live, she states she is content with the present—each era has its pros and cons.
