Most recently, she has received widespread critical acclaim for her portrayal of Iole in a new production of Ercole amante by Antonia Bembo, conducted by Leonardo García Alarcón and staged by Netia Jones at the Opéra national de Paris (Bastille).
Internationally recognised as a leading interpreter of baroque repertoire, Ana performed Dorinda in Christopher Moulds and Mariame Clément’s new production of Orlando at the Opéra de Lausanne, Euridice in Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice at the Auditorio de Tenerife, and Poppea in Agrippina under Stéphane Fuget at the Festival de Beaune.
