In November 1993, she was awarded the “European Furtherance Prize for Music” and in late 1995 the “Premio Bellini d' Oro” in Catania. In 2002 she received the “Premio Zenatello di Verona” and in 2004 she was given the “Premio Verdi di Modena” and the “Premio Verdi di Verona”. In the year 2005, the Romanian president bestowed the title “Officer of the Arts” as highest musical award of the country upon her.
Since the beginning of her career, Elena Mosuc is connected closely to the Zurich Opera House, and she appeared there in various roles, among others as the Queen of the Night, Konstanze, Donna Anna, Lucia di Lammermoor, Linda di Chamounix, Gilda, Elvira, Violetta Valéry, Luisa Miller, Sophie, Zerbinetta, Aminta/Timidia (The silent woman), Musetta, Antonida (A life for the Tsar), Micaëla, Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta under such famous conductors as Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Franz Welser-Moest, Christoph von Dohnányi, Placido Domingo as well as Vladimir Fedoseyev, Ralf Weikert, Adam Fischer, Marc Minkowski, Marco Armiliato, Paolo Carignani, Michel Plasson, Patrick Fournillier, Nello Santi and Marcello Viotti.
Guest star appearances take her continuously to all the important opera houses in Europe (among others to Munich, Dresden, Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Luxemburg, Paris, Amsterdam) and also to Japan and China. At the same time, she regularly appears as a concert singer, thereby working with conductors such as Sir Colin Davis, David Zinman, Michael Gielen, Fabio Luisi, Bruno Campanella, Bertrand de Billy, Daniel Oren, Stefan Soltesz, Leopold Hager and Yves Abel. Elena Mosuc also continues to give frequent concerts and to appear in opera soirees in her native country.
During the last years, Elena Mosuc has established her reputation as one of the world’s most versatile and expressive sopranos. Sensational performances as the Queen of the Night in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Paris, Rome, Tokyo and Shanghai have been followed by triumphs at the Bavarian Staatsoper in the title roles of Lucia di Lammermoor and La Traviata. In Essen’s Aalto Theatre she has had outstanding success as Luisa Miller and as Elvira in Bellini’s I Puritani. Her debut performances as Gilda and as Violetta in the Verona Arena were received with unanimous acclaim by public and critics alike. Other important und successful engagements brought her to the Deutsche Opera Berlin, where her debut involved all four principal female roles (Olympia, Antonia, Giulietta and Stella) in Les Contes d’ Hoffmann, to the State Opera Berlin (Zerbinetta), to the Teatro Filarmonico di Verona (Donna Anna in Don Giovanni and La Traviata) and to the Teatro La Fenice (La Traviata).
Highlights of recent seasons include her highly acclaimed role debuts as Marguerite (Faust), Amina (La Sonnambula), Liù (Turandot) and Maria Stuarda in Zurich and at the State Opera Berlin; thereupon she appeared with sensational success as Violetta at the New Israeli Opera (directed by Franco Zeffirelli), as Lucia di Lammermoor in the Théâtre Capitole de Toulouse and in Thessaloniki (directed by Renata Scotto), as Elvira at the Vienna State Opera, as Micaëla in the Verona Arena, as Gilda at the Teatro Regio di Parma, at the Vienna and the Bavarian State Opera and at the Teatro Verdi Trieste and lately as Zerbinetta and Queen of the Night in new productions in Zurich.

New productions are planned in Hamburg at the State Opera (all four female parts in Les Contes d’Hoffmann), in Genoa Anna Bolena, in Tokyo (Don Giovanni and La Traviata) and in Bologna (I Puritani). During this season, she is invited to sing Liù, Lucia, Gilda and Mimì (role debut) in Zurich and Violetta Valéry at the Vienna State Opera and in Zurich.
