Alexandre Dumas, fils
From 1997 to 2008, she directed a musical production house Aria that promoted rigorous East-Europeen educational methods and political debate. The company re-adapted 19th century Opera classics by borrowing from their original literary inspiration in form of theatre dialogue and superimposing it with current events. The work on Bizet's Carmen (2004) was revisited by Mérimée's original text. Verdi's La Traviatta (2005) was restructured by going back to The Lady of the Camellias by Alexandre Dumas, fils. Rigoletto (2007) was brought back to Le roi s'amuse by Victor Hugo.
