From 1918 she was a star of the Teatro Colón of Buenos Aires, with regular appearances in other South American cities, especially Rio de Janeiro.

Her debut in the United States happened in 1919, when she sang Amneris in Aida with Claudia Muzio, Giovanni Martinelli, and Renato Zanelli.

That same season, she starred with Enrico Caruso in productions of Samson et Dalila and La Forza del Destino at the Metropolitan Opera.

Tenor Giacomo Lauri Volpi mentioned her in his Voci parallele as one of the only three real contraltos he had chanced to meet throughout his career (the others being Margaret Matzenauer and Matilde Blanco Sadun).

The couple lived in Rio de Janeiro; their grand home and gardens are now known as Parque Lage, a public park.
