She attended masterclasses with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Lazar Berman, György Kurtág, and Elisabeth Leonskaja.

From 2012 to 2016, she was responsible for the study leadership for all opera productions at the Salzburg Festival and has since returned regularly as a guest for individual productions. As a solo répétiteur and musical assistant, Sarah Tysman has appeared at the Berlin State Opera, Theater an der Wien, Bayreuth Festival, Opéra National de Paris, and the Royal Opera House Stockholm, working with conductors like Daniele Gatti, Daniel Harding, Philippe Jordan, Ingo Metzmacher, Kirill Petrenko, and Franz Welser-Möst, as well as many of the most significant singers and directors of our time.
