She initially studied piano and theory under Spangenberg in Wiesbaden and Kufferath in Bonn, and was also a pupil of Max Reger. For singing, she trained under Franz Dulong in Berlin and Heinrich Feinhaus in Milan.

She made her debut in 1906 at the Court Theater in Kassel as Senta in Der fliegende Holländer. In the 1907-1908 season, she performed at the Court Theater in Wiesbaden, and in 1908 she joined the Berlin Court Opera, where she achieved great success.

Her career included guest appearances in Madrid, Barcelona, Budapest, Bucharest, Brussels, and Antwerp. Although she was engaged by the Metropolitan Opera in New York for the 1916-1917 season, her engagement was affected by the USA’s entry into World War I.

She continued performing in various Italian opera theaters during the 1921-1922 season and remained at the Berlin Court Opera until 1921. Afterward, she focused on teaching in Berlin.
