My first time singing this masterpiece and that in Paris! 🌺 On April 9th at 20h00 I will be performing Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater. Together with a beautiful ensemble and mezzo-soprano Clara Pecot we will bring this exceptional piece to life. This masterpiece, often performed around Easter, tells the story of Mary mourning at the cross. It’s one of my absolute favorites, full of depth and emotion. If you are in Paris, I would love to see you there! Link to the free tickets in my bio!

Honored to have sung the role of Blanca in the European première of the opera Ribas-Dominicci, by composer Nathan Felix in Paris! 🎻 The opera tells the true story of Major Fernando Luis Ribas-Dominicci, a Puerto Rican U.S. Air Force pilot who died during Operation El Dorado Canyon in Libya in 1986. Through the memories of his wife, Blanca, the opera explores their love story, his military service, and the emotional aftermath of his death. Thank you to the musicians, Nathan, Hugo, the team and Fondation des États-Unis for this inspiring artistic period!

I will be singing the role of Fernando in the immersive opera Ribas-Dominicci by composer Nathan Felix, alongside soprano Bibi Simons as Blanca, as part of the Contemporary Voices Festival at the Fondation des États-Unis. This performance is particularly special as it marks Nathan Felix’s first opera presented in Europe, bringing this powerful and intimate work to Paris. Ribas-Dominicci tells the true and moving story of Fernando and Blanca, a couple whose life is changed by war. Through contemporary music and an immersive setting, the opera explores love, sacrifice, distance, and memory, following Fernando’s final mission and Blanca’s emotional journey.

One of the many highlights of 2025: Assistant Conductor in Paris✨ Last September I started as Assistent Conductor of the Académie Palais-Royal in Paris! I conducted a choir of 140 singers in French! A challenge, but it was so fulfilling! Working on beautiful music from Händel, Bach, Puccini & more! This December the performances were held in 4 beautiful churches in Paris! 🇫🇷 Magical! ✨ @academiedupalaisroyal • • • #classicalmusic #paris #assistantconductor #soprano #choir

Audition for the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam! 🍀♥️ This week I was invited to audition for the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam, on the main stage. After 5 years living abroad, it was a special moment to audition in the opera house of The Netherlands! Very proud! What an experience! ✨✨✨✨✨ • • • #soprano #opera #classicalvoice #dno #netherlands

🇫🇷 Singing a French mélodie is so inspiring! This excerpt is from the song ‘Prison’ by Fauré, with text by Verlaine. Together with pianist Edgar Jaber we programmed a recital for the forum about freedom and liberty, which took place at @citeinternationaleparis as part of their centennial celebrations. Thank you to the @fondationusa for this moment! ✨ 🎹 @jabedgar 📷 @lisa_maslovskaya • • #soprano #piano #liedduo #faure #verlaine #classicalmusic #ciup #french #melodie
