She was section leader and soprano in the chorus of the Teatro Real for fourteen years and participated in their opera outreach program for children, singing in The Marriage of Figaro and The Little Sweep. In 2011-12 she toured Belgium, Holland and Germany performing in the Teatro Real’s production of C(h)oeurs, an avant-garde work directed by Alain Platel. She has performed with world class conductors such as Christopher Hogwood and Jesús López-Cobos, stage directors Emilio Sagi and Peter Sellars, and renowned singers such as Plácido Domingo, Edita Gruberova and Joyce Di Donato.
