She has since performed major roles in Berlin(La Traviata), Paris(Don Giovanni), Salzburg(Cosi fan tutte) and Geneva(Anna Bolena). In 2018, she released her first recital, Miroir(s), followed by the lieder albums Morgen (2020) and Mozart x 3 (2022), published by Erato. In 2024, the soprano takes part in the recording of Gluck's opera Orfeo ed Euridice, conducted by Jakub Józef Orliński and conducted by Stefan Plewniak. In 2026, the Invocation recital features arias by Dvořák, Puccini, Verdi, Bellini, Rossini, Janáček, Gounod, Bizet, Uccelli and Wagner, with conductor Massimo Zanetti and Genoa's Orchestra del Teatro Carlo Felice.
