I see myself as an openminded, highly creative and very passionate artist. I truly love my work and thats not only in Opera but over time I have developed a real delight in exploring and developing unusual Recital Programmes. I also enjoy a real interest in contemporary music, here my experience at Masterclasses with Wolfgang Rihm, deepened my knowledge in this genre.
