Last stop before the big leap. 

The Felix Mendelssohn Music University and my great teacher, Dame Jeanette Favarro-Reuter, electric and furious teacher who helped me getting back on tracks. I must admit I had not been singing a lot during the previous year, plus the intense demands our studies, developing my German, learning from two teachers at once, Sofia residing in Paris and above all, the increasingly worse signs of health my mother showed, would make my first three or four months in Leipzig quite hard. This period in my life became so arduous that I simply lost my voice in January. This marked accrual of stress and my lack of understanding made it ultimately impossible to sing. I canceled all of my upcoming concerts and welcomed the winter break with great relief. Shortly after the beginning of the new semester, I decided to reorient my concentration on singing with Jeanette. My education during this winter proved to be hard and laborious. I was 28, and I felt that I was struggling to control a half-broken instrument. I was pushing harder and harder to find again the sound I once had, and I was longing to rediscover the faith I had in my talents, the faith that I had at the end of my studies in London. This process was not easy, but I had a goal in sight to guide me : the audition to the opera of Leipzig, reserved for the university students. No matter what happened, I had to prepare for this audition and be ready once the day came.I thus auditioned in the April of 2017. Kristof Spiewok, a stage director working at the opera heard me and believe that I could be a good Pluton in his reworked version of the Orfeo from Monteverdi. After this production, I was offered another part, and then another, and finally, some four months after I finished my master degree at the University of Leipzig, I got offered a place in the Ensemble of the Opera.

Thanks David, Jeanette and Christof. Ich bin Jetzt Leipziger !
