On the stage of the Opera of Slovak National Theatre she appeared as a brilliant Morgana in Handel’s Alcina; as a second niece in Britten’s Peter Grimes; and also as a first wood sprite in Dvořák’s Rusalka. First offer from abroad came to the young sopranist from Salzburg, where she performed during the Salzburg Mozartwoche in Mozart’s La Finta Giardiniera. An offer to perform in Milan’s La Scala followed shortly after, where she debuted in Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas. Recently she could also be seen in the Austrian Theater an der Wien, where she made appearance as Ninetta in the Fabio Luisi’s production of La Finta Semplice, and also in Glyndebourne Touring Opera, where she took the part of Adina in Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore.
