You can see her performing in Husa na provázku Theater in Brno (her performance in the stage musical play Balada pro banditu – A Ballad for a Bandit -  has guaranteed her The Alfréd Radok Award for the best New Artist). The stage of The National Theatre in Prague isn’t unknown for her either.  She has also taken part in musical Excalibur and had a solo in Schnittke’s First Symphony.
