Have you ever felt the tension when the orchestra and choir pause between two notes at the same time? And the tingling sensation on your skin at the peak of catharsis? Or that relaxed joy after the nerves have been stretched to the limit, when a beautiful melody emerges from cacophony? Music can do all this, and it particularly applies to song! Our life is a dance, with an ever-pulsating rhythm, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. Those who can adapt to it are in harmony with themselves and the world. And doing this every day is one of my greatest treasures.
I was not born into a musical family, but I was interested in music from a very young age. First I learned to play the violin, then the piano and the harp, and then, in special music literature lessons, I absorbed everything that music could give me. I was sixteen when I saw my first opera – Puccini’s Turandot – and that’s when I decided I wanted to sing. After graduation in secondary school, I studied private singing at the King Saint Stephen Conservatory, and in the meantime, I got to know and love choral singing in the King Saint Stephen Oratorio Choir. In Erika Dallos’ classes at the Liszt Academy, I fell in love with the world of chamber singing, and especially the experience provided by early music. My masters were Magda Szabó, Erzsébet Kurcsinka Fekete, József Hormai, Katalin Szőke, Júlia Barna, Gábor Rózsa, and then, at the Liszt Academy, Ingrid Kertesi, Emese Virág, and for a very meaningful semester, Emőke Baráth. So far, I have had the opportunity to sing solo and choral roles in operas by Donizetti, Mozart, Farkas and Britten. In 2020, I had a daughter, and since then, all my singing has been for her, whether it’s a lullaby or an oratorio as a soprano in the Hungarian National Choir.
