She made her debut in Brussels at the Monnaie with the First Lady (Zauberflöte) also touring in New York with that production. She worked with other reputed conductors such as Marc Minkowski at the Opéra de Paris in 2006 singing Diane (Iphigénie en Tauride) and with Emmanuelle Haïm in the Opéra de Lille singing Médée (Lully’s Thésée). She experimented Wagner at the Châtelet with Die Feen, Annio (La Clemenza di Tito) at the Grand Théâtre in Tours, La Folie (Platée) in Opéra du Rhin, Dorothée (Massenet’s Cendrillon) at Opéra Comique and in Vienna, Bellangère (Ariane et Barbe-Bleue) at the Barcelona Liceu and Diane (Iphigénie en Tauride, Iphigénie en Aulide) in Amsterdam Opera.

In addition to have performed with the Quatuor Ysaÿe and the Quatuor Manfred, Salomé Haller recorded «Das irdische Leben» with her collaborative pianist Nicolas Krüger, winning them both a «diapason découverte». Recently, she performed Oenone (Hippolyte et Aricie) in Opéra de Paris, Flora (La Traviata) in Brussels Monnaie, the Mother’s voice (Les Contes d’Hoffmann) at the Liceu, and Pierrot Lunaire at the Cité de la Musique, la Femme du Garde-Chasse and le Hibou (The Cunning little Vixen) at the Opéra de Lille.
