She was in demand for a rather small repertoire of roles, especially Wagner's Brünnhilde and Isolde,[2] and Chrysothemis by Richard Strauss. Looking "slender and athletic", she was also regarded as "an unusually convincing actor".[3] In 1971, she appeared as Isolde at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in a pioneering tour of the Vienna State Opera.
