After that, she became a frequent singer in San Francisco, and later performed in other cities. She became a renowned translator of Russian roles such as Lyudmila, Natasha in War and Peace by Prokofiev, Louise in Betrothal in a Monastery and Martha in The Tsar's Bride. However, she has also excelled in bel canto and romantic roles such as Gilda in Rigoletto, Musetta in God, and Juliet in I Capuleti e i Montecchi.
