Martinů’s song), the Janáčkova Hukvaldy International Singing Competition (1st place and the Prize for the best interpretation of L. Janáček’s composition) and the Olomouc Singing Competition (1st place) . During her opera studies at FU OU, she appeared in the title roles of several operas. She portrayed, for example, Lauretta in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi or Zerlina in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. As a soloist, she performs with the Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava, the Janáček Chamber Orchestra, the Benda Quartet and the Moravian-Silesian Sinfonietta.
