In the same year she made her debut at the Karlsruhe Händel Festpiele as Arianna in Handel's Giustino, and was invited to repeat this at its 2004 Festival. In spring 2004 she sang Haydn's Il mondo della luna with Washington DC-based Opera Lafayette, followed by debuts with The King's Consort in Handel's L'Allegro and with the Oregon Bach Festival and a return to the Carmel Bach Festival for Mozart's Exultate Jubilate.
