Her roles on stage include the title role of Handel's Oreste, Bradamante in Vivaldi's Orlando furioso, Piacere in Cavalieri's Rappresentatione di anima et di corpo, Speranza in Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, and Galatea in Handel's Aci, Galatea e Polifemo .[2]
She appeared in 2026 as Lavinia in Steffani's Amor vien dal destino at the Oper Frankfurt, directed by R. B. Schlather.[3] a reviewer noted that her dark contralto voice gave the role an almost tenor sonority.[3]
