In 1995 she performed at La Scala with a recital of Fryderyk Chopin's songs. A year later, she made her debut on the stage of the Semper Oper in Dresden as Angelina in G. Rossini's Cinderella. She has performed with such outstanding conductors as Jan Krenz, Jerzy Semkow, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Sir Colin Davis, and Armin Jordan. She pays special attention to chamber music – its art of song interpretation combines perfection with extraordinary naturalness. Urszula Kryger has made many recordings for radio stations and record companies. Paweł Cłapiński, associated with the Academy of Music in Łódź, also collaborates with the Grand Theater in Łódź. He has won numerous prizes at national and international piano competitions, both as a soloist and as an accompanist of famous singers.
