“After my singing talent was discovered, I unexpectedly burst into the forefront of Hungarian and foreign opera. I did not move towards my goals step by step – with a serious professional background, formal foundations, repertoire knowledge – but suddenly I found myself at the finish line!

I was discovered, but what this meant, what I could do with it, how much responsibility and weight it was, I also had to discover myself and my possibilities, and I even had to establish my knowledge – a little later, and thanks to my luck, not too late... Some mentors helped, but I was mainly able to rely on myself, I put all the theory and practice that I had discovered, mastered, invented, and applied to my person into an individual system of knowledge and experience. I am preparing to pass on this specialized and ever-valid knowledge – in the framework of a new, innovative postgraduate master’s degree program that takes into account the future of vocal performance.”
