“Medea,” the new opera by Lyman (1936), a leading figure in contemporary opera, is a highly anticipated work that, following its premiere at the Vienna State Opera, is scheduled to be performed around the worldincluding this production in Frankfurt (and even in Japan in 2012!).

She is a versatile singer with a wide-ranging repertoirefrom Hasse and Kaiser to contemporary worksand a voice capable of handling everything from lighter timbres to those bordering on the dramatic.
