Her debut at the Salzburg Festival in a new production of Rossini’s Moïse et Pharaon (Anaï), under the baton of Riccardo Muti, staged by Jürgen Flimm, in August 2009, has established Marina Rebeka as one among the most interesting singers of the new generation, on the international scene.

Her acclaimed debuts at Covent Garden as Violetta in La traviata (July 2010), and at Deutsche Oper Berlin as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni (October 2010) came after a rich 2009/10 season, during which she also performed Britten’s War Requiem with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Stéphane Denève, and two productions of Carmen (Micaela): at the Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden, with Theodor Currentzis, and at the Palau de les Arts in Valencia, with Zubin Mehta.

In Fall 2011 she will make her much awaited debut at the Metropolitan in a new production of Don Giovanni (Donna Anna), under the baton of James Levine, staged by Michael Grandage.
