In 2002 she performed at a concert marking pope John Paul II’s visit in Kraków. In 2006 she made her debut as Adela during a New Year’s Eve concert at the Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera in Warsaw. She has performed with the Kraków Opera, Silesian Opera, and the philharmonic halls in Zabrze and Wałbrzych. She toured Belgium, the Netherlands and France.
