Her repertoire included Nedda in Pagliacci, Charlotte in Werther, Manon, Tosca, Rosenn in Le Roi d'Ys, and Cio-Cio-San. Beginning in 1923, she was also engaged by the Grand Opéra in Paris. In 1924, she appeared at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in the premiere of Léon Sachs’s opera Les Burgraves.

She made frequent guest appearances at the opera houses of Nice, Marseille, Vichy, and Bordeaux, and also sang in Antwerp, Liège, and at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels. In 1924, she appeared at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo as Mélisande in Pelléas et Mélisande.

Following her retirement from the stage, she taught voice at the Conservatoire de Paris from 1927 to 1949; among her notable pupils was the celebrated soprano Régine Crespin.
