While her first audition in 1923 for the Metropolitan Opera was unsuccessful the Opera's general manager Giulio Gatti-Casazza did subsequently hire Talley for the 1925/26 season. On February 17 1926 she made her debut there as Gilda the daughter of the title character in Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto. At the time and at the age of 19 Talley was the youngest prima donna to ever sing at the Metropolitan Opera. Her pending debut caused a media sensation contrary to Gatti-Casazza's hopes that it would remain low-key. A delegation of two hundred leading citizens of Kansas City her home town arrived via a special train. Tickets were being resold at astronomical prices. A telegraph was set up backstage so her father could send dispatches to the Associated Press. Her performance prompted multiple ovations from the crowd but critics were less enthusiastic. While they thought her debut promising it did not live up to the expectations caused by the media frenzy and her ensuing musical career with the company lasted but a few more years. This White Star Line ephemera no doubt retained as a souvenir of Talley's 1924 journey to Milan where Gatti-Casazza had sent her to continue her music training with Mme Marcella Sembrich 1858 - 1935.
