She began her operatic career in 1907, performing in various European
theaters. She made early appearances in Varna at Teatro Boris, singing as
Eudossia in L'Ebrea and as Violetta in La Traviata. That same year, she
performed as Mimì in La Bohème in Corfu at Teatro Della Fenice and in Athens at
Teatro Nuovo Falero.
Her career continued to flourish in 1908 with a season at Teatro
Solodownikoff in Kiev and a performance as Ines in L'Africana at Teatro
D’Inverno in Poltava. Later that year, she appeared as Gilda in Rigoletto in
Treviso, followed by a series of roles in Gand (Ghent) at Petit Théâtre,
including Oscar in Un Ballo in Maschera, Mimì in La Bohème, and Micaela in
Carmen.
In 1911, she made her American debut at the Metropolitan Theater in
