​

In March 2019, she sang in the concert  “Viva Verdi!” at the National Opera Center in NYC, with several artists of our roster and special guests, tenors Francisco Casanova and Kristian Benedict. She was highly praised by the reviewer  as she “excelled in “Vieni t’affretta” from Macbeth in which she limned Lady Macbeth’s resolute character by judicious use of her fioritura. The last time we enjoyed that aria as much was when we heard Lauren Flanigan sing it.” (Voce di Meche)
