She was particularly admired as Norma La Gioconda Turandot and in Verdi; she also took part in important revivals of Alceste 1935 and L'incoronazione di Poppea 1937 at Florence and was the KostelniÄka in the first performance in Italy of Jenůfa 1941 Venice.

In 1947 following a car accident she retired devoting much of the rest of her life to teaching." She was a highly dramatic and musical singer with a dark voice and an attractive rapid vibrato.
