Previous appearances in Wiesbaden include Ortrud (“Lohengrin”), Amme (“Die Frau ohne Schatten”), Stolzius’ Mother ("Die Soldaten"), Auntie ("Peter Grime"), her song recital "Sing Sistah Sing!" (2016 International May Festival), Kader in Søren Nils Eichberg's new opera "Schönerland", Ulrica in Verdi's "Un ballo in maschera", Herodias in "Salome" and Euphrat in "Babyon".
