When she was ten, she heard a recording by Maria Callas; She was so fascinated by this woman&#8217;s personality that she decided to become a singer.

Brahms, G. Faur\u00e9, H. Duparc, E. Granados, F.J. Obradors and J. Rodrigo and many others. Works selected and assembled so that they are parts of a single musical drama.
