Dvořák’s Rusalka, followed by over 50 concerts across Norway as part of the big Christmas tour Vår jul. During the summer, she has been active both within opera and concert: in the main role of Mademoiselle Y in M. Hallin’s Den Starkare as well as Antigona in Alessandro in Susa at The Vadstena Academy, and as a soloist at the international chamber music festival Valdres Sommersymfoni in Norway. Earlier in 2025, she sang the role of The Opera Singer in Vikarien, a co-production between Folkoperan and Dockteatern Tittut in Stockholm. In autumn 2024, she made her house debut at Folkoperan as Sigrid in the world premiere of the contemporary opera Herr Arnes Penningar, composed by P. Nordahl.
