She returned to the USA in August of 2021 to debut the role of Dorabella in Mozart's Così fan tutte as a Resident Fellow with the Atlantic Music Festival. She has had the privilege of singing in masterclasses led by a.o. Roberta Alexander, Dr. Bretton Brown, Thomas Oliemanns, and Gerald Finley. In 2020, she was fortunate enough to be selected for the Mozart Masterclass and More organized by the International Vocal Competition 's-Hertogenbosch. In addition, in 2020 she was selected as a Finalist in the CS Music Fall Competition.
As a lover of new works, she specialized in New Music during her Master at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. In December 2021, she participated in the Song Book Score Collective singing selections from Louis Andriessen, John Cage and premiering a composition with orchestra by Adam Lukawski. Additionally in 2022, she made her debut with ASKO | Schönberg as part of their festival, Words & Music, interpreting Opera pour Insectes by Luke Deane and M.M. (Marilyn Monroe) by Pete Harden.

In the 54th edition of the International Vocal Competition 's-Hertogenbosch, Trombetta made her debut as a presenter and discovered her love of standing in front of the camera in addition to her love of standing on stage. During this week she was privileged to interview such renowned singers as Dame Sarah Connolly, Howard Haskin, Christoph Prégardien and Jard van Nes. Since this discovery, Trombetta has explored presenting and interviewing, being lucky enough to interview Composer in Residence 20/21 at the Concertgebouw.
When she is not busy studying, Anna runs the vlog, OperaAnna, where she strives to bring opera to a younger public using a platform that she finds underutilized by the opera industry. She hopes that it will be way to grow the interest in opera among 20-35 year olds and keep the genre alive and relevant.
