She had her debut in Italy in 1996, performing the title role in CARMEN in Palermo and more recently a debut at Teatro Liceu in Barcelona singing the role of Amneris AIDA, a role she subsequently repeated at the Trappani Festival in Italy with Deutsche Oper Berlin. She has sung alongside many of opera's most notable artists; Placido Domingo at Madrid's Teatro Real in SAMSON ET DALILA, as CARMEN opposite Jose Cura at L'Arena di Verona in Verona, Italy, Fiorenza Cedolins, Maria Guleghina, Lando Bartolini, with Norma Fantini AIDA, and with Luis Lima and Dimitri Horostovsky in a highly acclaimed production of DON CARLO at the Teatro Real in Madrid.
