Her Salome in Salzburg landed her in operatic Olympus overnight. In recent months she made her triumphant debuts at the Bayreuth Festival, as Senta, and Covent Garden in London, as Jenůfa; she also enjoyed great success with Tchaikovsky's Tatjana and Puccini's Manon Lescaut at the Vienna State Opera, Liza (Pique Dame) at La Scala Milan and in Baden-Baden and Cio-cio-san in Stockholm.
