A member of the Bavarian State’s elite young artists’ program from an early age, she made her operatic debut at sixteen as Belinda (Dido and Aeneas).

She also maintains an active concert career, most recently appearing with the Camerata Salzburg and the Mozarteum Orchestra at the 2025 Salzburg Festival, with the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra in Christmas in Vienna 2024 at the Wiener Konzerthaus, and with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra.
