Due to an accident, however, she was forced to switch career paths. Because of her good singing skills she chose to be a singer. At first she sang at family gatherings, weddings and formal celebrations. On one such occasion, a singing-master heard her and almost immediately began to teach the 16-year-old Erika.[1] Soon she went on to study music at the Liszt Ferenc Academy Music in Szeged as well as in Milan and New York. She became a soloist at the Hungarian State Opera in 1990. Her signature role is the Queen of the Night (Mozart: The Magic Flute). She sang also at the Royal Opera House in London, at the Staatsoper in Vienna, at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and many more famous opera houses.
