From there she moved to the Kroll Opera House and was able to perform there as a soubrette (trouser roles) and celebrated great successes.
Spurred on by this, authors such as Ernst Dohm, Eduard Jacobson, David Kalisch and August Weirauch began to write roles for her.
During this time, Genée also repeatedly gave guest performances at various German and Austrian stages.
At the special request of the German Emperor William I, she appeared in the municipal theatre of Bad Ems and in the Staatstheater Kassel.
At the age of 77, Genée died on 14 November 1911 in Eberswalde and also found her final resting place there.
