"[12] In February 1904 she indicated her desire to shift to London, "She is at present under Signor Carl Hazon, and is considered the first soprano in Sydney... this gifted singer is ambitious to make her debut in Grand Opera.

Her voice is a bright, clear, ringing soprano of very wide range–she touched F sharp in alt with exact truth of intonation and perfect sweetness–and she has trained it to an astonishing degree of flexibility.
