Not every opera singer is a freelancer.
Some belong to companies.
Some have contracts.
Some even have stability.

But in opera, stability is always temporary. 🎭

Budgets change.
Directors change.
Politics change.
And suddenly, careers change too.

Young artists are taught to be grateful.
Grateful for every role.
Every fee.
Every chance to be on stage.

But gratitude is not protection.
And silence is not professionalism.

At the same time, theatres are fighting for survival too.
They work under enormous financial and political pressure.
They need structure, clarity and trust.

That’s where agents become essential.
Not to create conflict —
but to make the system fair, legal and human for everyone.

The opera world loves to talk about digital freedom.
About visibility.
About access.
About how “anyone can be discovered now.”

But visibility without protection is not freedom — it’s exposure. 🎭

Yes, theatres can find singers online.
Yes, everything is faster.
Yes, everything is more transparent.

But power did not disappear.
It just became quieter.
And much more dangerous for young artists.

In a world that consumes voices like content,
representation is not old-fashioned —
it is resistance.

And this is where agents come in.

Not as gatekeepers.
But as mediators.
As protectors.
As political figures inside a fragile system.

What a beautiful year! ✨
The year in which we celebrated twenty-five years of marriage 💍.
What a heartfelt celebration with family and friends in Venice — memories we will cherish forever 🥂🇮🇹

It was also the year our daughter Belén graduated 🎓 and made her musical theatre debut in Vienna 🎭🌟.

We enjoyed romantic trips to Asia with my husband 🌏❤️ and our beautiful time in France on the Camino de Santiago 🇫🇷👣.

There were also wonderful professional achievements:
my success as an agent with Sono Artists, and Peter’s first year as Intendant at Oper Klosterneuburg, crowned by the great success of Tosca 🎶🎼👏

And above all, for the moments shared with my wonderful family and dear friends 💕.
How lucky we are to have lived this year with health and strength.
Grateful for life! 🙏✨

✨ 2025: Growth, clarity & purpose ✨

As an artistic agent and career coach, this year I worked on 🎼 strategic contracts, participated for the first time as a 🎤 jury member in a singing competition in Italy, and led 🎓 workshops for MDW and other entities on social media as a marketing tool for artists and auditioning with honest, personalized feedback.

I chose to use social media as a space to share the real artistic journey — 👏 applause, ❓ doubts, 😓 frustrations, and 📈 growth — because careers are built on truth, not perfection.

More joy than frustration 🤍 thanks to the excellence and commitment of the artists at Sono Artists.

🎯 Talent needs strategy.
🧭 Careers need clarity.
