Residency
“My ambition as a singer is to always be conscious of and work hard to see how I can improve myself, and whether I can find new inspiration in terms of what I can add, for example through my own interpretation, when I learn and study a role. With this fantastic opportunity and great honour from the Junge Akademie, my goal and ambition for next year is to work with the German soprano Katrin Kapplusch, with whom I will gladly continue to work on the repertoire and roles I would like to perform at the opera. Hopefully, I will have the chance to work with director Arila Siegert, whom I had the honour of working with last year.”
