Her discography includes more than 70 awarded recordings including Berlioz’ Les nuits d’été, Le nozze di Figaro and Così fan tutte, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, Scarlatti’s Santissima Trinità, Purcell’s King Arthur as well as Tragédiennes. At last she performed in Cavalli’s La Calisto as well as Alice Ford (Verdi: Falstaff) in Baden-Baden, Eva (Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg) in Barcelona, Glucks Alceste in Aix-en-Provence and Iphigénie en Aulide in Bruxelles for example.
