Ernest Reyer took notice of her talent and chose her play the role of Brunehild in Sigurd in 1884 (with a Paris premiere in 1885).

At the Opéra-Comique, she sang Léonore in Beethoven's Fidelio (in 1898) and the title roles in Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride and Orphée.

[3] Caron sang in the first performance of Debussy's L'enfant prodigue on 27 July 1884,[4] as part of the composition competition of the Prix de Rome in Paris.

Caron sang a few times with the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire: in December 1885/January 1886, she performed airs from Der Freischütz by Weber and La vestale by Spontini; at the official concert of the Exposition Universelle on 20 June 1889, fragments from Ambroise Thomas's Psyché and excerpts from Reyer's Sigurd; and in March 1895, scenes from Gluck's Alceste.

During her lifetime, Caron was linked with French statesman Théophile Delcassé[6] and the Prime Minister of France Georges Clemenceau.
