Another important breakthrough came in 2005 with her debut at Bavarian State Opera in the world premiere of Arnaldo De Felice's of Medusa as Natalia-Medusa, followed by invitations to take part in Ballo in Maschera (Oscar) and Don Carlo (Voce dal Cielo) led by Maestro Zubin Mehta, who also invited her to sing Blonde in Die Entführung aus dem Serail in Tel-Aviv.

After obtaining a pedagogical diploma, Belgian tenor Yves Saelens studied at the Brussels Royal Conservatoire of Music with Dina Grossberger, where he obtained the Higher Diplomas for Singing and Lyric Art, and at the Juilliard Opera Center in New York with Ed Zambara.
