In addition to appearing regularly at distinguished opera houses such as Milan's La Scala, London's Covent Garden and Berlin's Deutsche Staatsoper, she is a frequent guest artist of the world's greatest orchestras, and this summer opens one of Europe's most prestigious music festivals, in Lucerne, as featured soloist in Ravel's Shéhérazade under the baton of Claudio Abbado.
