Celebrated in the role of Salome, with which she is particularly associated; sings the title role in the recent recording of the opera under the conduction of
Michael Schoenwandt, with
Robert Hale singing Jochanaan (Chandos, 1998)

Kenneth Riegel
With just the right Herodian edge,
the impressive Tetrarch in Luc
Bondy's outstanding production of
"Salome", has been hailed as
the ideal performer of the role
(Chicago Opera, Covent Garden)

Robert Hale
The acclaimed Jochanaan in Luc
Bondy's production of "Salome"  in Covent Garden (1997); sings the same role in the recording of the opera,  with Inga Nielsen and Michael Schoenwandt (Chandos, 1998)
