Arianna had the opportunity to work with Beatrice Benzi, Umberto Finazzi, Dante Mazzola and James Vaughan in Masterclasses at the Accademia Teatro La Scala Milano.
Under the general direction of Damon Nestor Ploumis, she has worked at Lyric Opera Studio Weimar as audition pianist, coaching assistant and répétiteur for Die Fledermaus.
Arianna has been invited to work as rehearsal pianist for various productions, including Alexandre bis and Les Larmes du couteau (Theater Gessnerallee), Le Nozze di Figaro, and most recently Dido and Aeneas as harpsichordist (Zurich University of the Arts).
For her musical theatre Nonna starb an einem Freitag, which intertwined opera scenes by Ligeti and Eötvös with her play script, she was awarded the ZHdK Bachelor Music Prize in 2021.
In 2023, alongside Jonas Füllemann as sound/visual programmer, she has staged and performed K. Stockhausen’s Klavierstück XIII: Luzifers Traum using machine learning to augment the perception of the piece.

In her freetime, she likes to play the Organ and practice her partimento-skills on the Harpsichord.
When the neighbours allow it, she is heard playing the Marimba.
When the neighbours don't allow Marimba, she reads, writes, or goes for a hike.
