Her production of Mozart's Don Giovanni , which she brought out at the Kulturbrauerei Berlin as "dramma giocoso in 2 acts for 8 singers, 7 chairs and orchestra", was performed in 2001. She then staged at other opera houses in German-speaking countries. In addition to the repertoire, she also devotes herself to baroque opera and new music . The Foundation Archive of the Academy of the Arts Berlin has been documenting its productions since 2006 . In the 2013 summer semester, Leupold was the holder of the international and interdisciplinary Klara Marie Faßbinder visiting professorship for women and gender studies , which is supported by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

As the first ever female opera director, she was awarded the Faust Theater Prize for her production of Don Carlo at the Lübeck Theater, which recognizes artists whose work is groundbreaking for German theater. In 2018 she received the audience award for her production of Die Zauberflöte at the Erfurt Theater.
