In 1851 she sang at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London, as Delilah in Auber’s L’enfant prodigue. In 1858 she sang Leonora (Il trovatore) at the Paris Opéra and was then engaged at the Théâtre Lyrique. In 1863 she moved to the Bouffes-Parisiens, where in 1867 she sang in her own operetta, Halte au moulin. She retired in 1871." (Elizabeth Forbes, Grove Online) (7934)
