At the 61st ARD International Competition, the soprano won 3rd prize, the audience prize and numerous special prizes. She was also awarded the »Bayerischer Kunstförderpreis« and won special prizes from the German Music Council, the Walter Kaminski Foundation and the Württemberg State Government.
Nationally and internationally she can be heard in the great roles of her profession, among others at the Graz Opera as Juliette (»Roméo et Juliette«), Magda (»La rondine«), Konstanze (»Die Entführung aus dem Serail«) and in the title role in »Luisa Miller«, at the Theater St. Gallen as Mimì (»La bohème«) and Marguerite (»Faust«), at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz as Donna Anna (»Don Giovanni«), at the Royal Opera House Copenhagen as Olympia and Antonia (»Les Contes d’Hoffmann«), at the Volksoper Wien as Lisa (»Das Land des Lächelns«), at Saarländisches Staatstheater Saarbrücken as Rosalinde (»Die Fledermaus«), at Staatstheater Augsburg as Violetta (»La traviata«), Liù (»Turandot«), Micaëla ("Carmen") as well as in the title roles in »Lucia di Lammermoor« and »Lulu« and at the Aalto Theatre in Essen as »Arminda«.
The singer is also in demand as a concert singer.
