Her repertoire spans from the Renaissance to contemporary music, and she is in demand worldwide for her expressive artistry and commanding stage presence.

Recent highlights include a world tour of Mozart concert arias with Martin Haselböck and the Wiener Akademie, and collaborations with the Scharoun Ensemble Berlin, pianist Oliver Triendl, and numerous leading conductors such as Vladimir Jurowski, Christoph Eschenbach, Marek Janowski, Ingo Metzmacher, and Helmuth Rilling.

Her international engagements have taken her to the Baden-Baden Easter Festival, where she covered Anna Netrebko, to China for her debut as Micaëla (Carmen), and to theatres across Europe. A long-term collaboration with John Malkovich led to appearances in The Giacomo Variations and The Infernal Comedy on world tour. Recent opera highlights include Rosalinde (Die Fledermaus), Kurfürstin (Der Vogelhändler), and Hanna Glawari (The Merry Widow).

An avid recitalist, Sophie performs at festivals in Germany, Finland, Hong Kong, and the Netherlands. Her recordings appear on Capriccio, Harmonia Mundi, Hänssler Classics, naïve, and Odradek, featuring works by Karl Weigl, Grete von Zieritz, Brahms, Webern, and Kurtág.
