Highlights have included singing Roderigo in Verdi's Otello at Covent Garden under Carlos Kleiber, War Requiem in the Teatro Colon, Buenos Aires under Steuart Bedford, Britten's Nocturne with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Oliver Knussen, Henze's Voices with Knussen and the London Sinfonietta at the BBC Proms, and Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione di Poppea for Los Angeles Opera.
