[1][2] Originally from the Basque region, having obtained a Conservatoire first prize,[3] an early radio performance was in Ninon de Lenclos with music by Louis Mainqueneau, conducted by François Ruhlmann on 21 June 1944.
At the 1953 Venice Festival she sang alongside André Vessières and Aimé Doniat in Françaix's L'Apostrophe (1947), a tale of cuckoldry, taken from Balzac's Cent Contes drolatiques,[8] in which she also appeared in Strasbourg in their 1958–59 season.
[1] For some pieces Dachary participated in several different broadcasts; the Encyclopédie multimédia de la comédie musicale site gives five of Monsieur Beaucaire alone.
[11] She was still appearing on the radio in the mid-1970s, for instance a public concert performance in the 'Auditorium 104' of the Maison de l'ORTF of Tom Jones by Philidor in 1975.
[12] Reviewing a CD of a 1958 recording of L'Ile de Tulipatan (in which she sang Alexis), the Opera magazine critic noted she "excelled in this repertoire... stars of the day who still twinkle brightly".
