About
WITH AROUND 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN OPERA, I COMBINE ARTISTIC EXPERTISE AS A STAGE DIRECTOR AND CASTING DIRECTOR WITH IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF OPERA MANAGEMENT.
As a jury member in singing competitions, I have gained valuable insights into the artistic development of young talents.
I support young singers with a focus on authenticity, the joy of ‘storytelling’ and self-confident performance.
My aim is to preserve opera as a living art form – through singers who live their profession with passion and joy.
