She has performed leading rôles in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia and L'italiana in Algeri, Donizetti's La favorita, Puccini's Madama Butterfly, and Verdi's Il trovatore. Performances of religious works have included Bach's Mass in B minor, Vivaldi's Gloria, the Stabat Maters of Pergolesi and Rossini, the latter's Petite Messe Solennelle, and Verdi's Requiem. A finalist in various international competitions, she has sung at the theatre of Montecarlo and, under the baton of Daniel Oren, at the Teatro Regio in Turin.
