After time spent at the Staatsoper in Berlin and Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich’s international opera studios, where she sang her first lead roles, this German-Hungarian mezzo-soprano joined the ensemble at the Staatstheater in Nürnberg in 2021/22, where new roles included Carmen, Octavian (Der Rosenkavalier), Angelina (La Cenerentola), Hänsel (Hänsel und Gretel), Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni), Orlofsky (Die Fledermaus), Meg Page (Falstaff) and Antiope (in Maria Antonia Walpurgis’ Talestri). She sang her first Cherubinos (Le nozze di Figaro) under Daniel Barenboim and Dryade (Ariadne auf Naxos) at the Staatsoper Berlin in 2021, which was followed by a new production of Le nozze di Figaro in Nürnberg with Joana Mallwitz. Recent triumphs have included the title role in Rossini's La Cenerentola at the Vorarlberg Landestheater and Stéphano (role debut) in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette at the Staatsoper in Berlin. Other guest engagements have taken this young artist to the Semperoper in Dresden and National Opera in Prague, the MüPa in Budapest, the Opéra de Lille, Landestheater in Salzburg and fesivals in Aix-en-Provence, Glyndebourne, Baden-Baden, Bregenz and Erl.
