Although she sang at Covent Garden in 1936 and 1939 in Aida and Il trovatore, the war prevented a further international career. She returned to London in 1947, singing in Die Walküre at the BBC under Sir Thomas Beecham.
In 1945 she sang Nyx in the premiere of Rosenberg's opera Lycksalighetens ö in Stockholm.[2]
