In 1984, she performed nine Hugo Wolf songs in the world premier of Adieu, a ballet by Eliot Feld, in which she sang again at Joyce Theater, in 1987 and 1989. By 1986, she was on her way to performing her first big operatic role, in Die Entfuhrung dem aus Serial, where she played Konstanze, at the well-known Salzburg Landestheater. After two years, she played Thalie, La Folie and Clarine in a Jean-Philippe Rameau production called Platee, with Piccolo Teatro Dell Opera.
