International Career
In the following years guest appearances led her to almost every important opera house in the world, including among others Deutsche Oper Berlin, Hamburg State Opera, Teatro La Fenice in Venice and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. She also sang at the Royal Opera House in London under Otto Klemperer and created one of her signature roles for the reopening of the Theater an der Wien under the baton of Herbert von Karajan: the Queen of the Night in Mozart's The Magic Flute.
Her repertoire of operatic roles reveals an artist who has an accurate and smart sense of her own musicianship. Her voice was well focused and she was capable of commanding dramatic phrasing and emotional expression. In opera she sang some of the most demanding roles in the coloratura Fach, e.g. Zerbinetta in Richard Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos, Violetta in Verdi's La traviata, Zaide in Mozart's Zaide and the already mentioned Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute.
Apart from her appearances on the opera stage she devoted herself to the Lied, giving countless Lieder recitals in Germany and abroad.

“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
