She recently premiered the lead role of "H'ala" in Layale Chaker's dynamic new opera, Ruinous Gods, with Spoleto Festival USA, where she was lauded for her “terrific lyric soprano” with “an ability to soar to the heights of her register yet keep a mellifluous delivery” (Adam Parker, Post and Courier).
