The concert pianist who has become an opera star

The Polish soprano Ewa Plonka who is enjoying a dizzying rise has been reflecting on her previous career, sadly interrupted:

If you wondered what was I doing until my early 30s… here it is.
My upcoming debut at the Royal Opera House brought some memories of my way here, perhaps a different way, definitely a longer way, but my way.
From concert pianist to (briefly) vocal coach in polish conservatory through a few masters degrees and doctoral degree in piano performance in USA, through ALWAYS singing as double major- for fun- then to finding a break through teacher-thank you Nikita Storojev , finally vocal studies at The Juilliard School to the Royal Opera House.
