Engagements have taken her, amongst others, to the St. Margarethen Opera Festival as Papagena (The Magic Flute), to the Fulda Castle Theatre as Gretchen (The Poacher) and Klärchen (The White Horse Inn), as well as on numerous concert tours to Germany, Switzerland and Poland. 
At the same time, Barbara Spitzer has been working as an assistant director for many years, including on the world premiere of Alma Deutscher’s opera Cinderella in Vienna, productions of The Csárdás Princess, Le Nozze di Figaro, Carmen and Wiener Blut for the Kittsee Summer Festival, as well as Die Zauberflöte, Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Im Weißen Rössl and Die lustige Witwe for the Kulturglashaus Völkermarkt.
