Milan's La Scala invited her to sing the role of Amneris in Aida on its tour to Qatar. Standing out among her CD recordings are Galuppi's opera Il caffé di campagna (conducted by Fabio Pirona), Alessandro Scarlatti's intermezzos Perrica e Varrone and Leonzio ed Eurilla (conducted by Pál Németh), Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (conducted by Tamás Vásáry), the ballads from the Zoltán Kodály Complete Edition (featuring Tamás Vásáry), as well as songs by Liszt and Gounod (with her regular partner, Emese Virág), issued by Hungaron, and both another recording of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and Mozart's Requiem (conducted by Maximianno Cobra) released on the Hodie label.
She has appeared on various stages in Austria and Italy, in Savonlinna, Ljubljana, Wiesbaden, Pozsony (Bratislava), and outside of Europe, in Beijing, Saõ Paolo, Japan and Qatar.
