The Met, however, remained her base and among her triumphs there was the new "Elektra" (with Birgit Nilsson and Leonie Rysanek) and "The Queen of Spades". Outside the Met, she appeared in works by Poulenc (an unforgettable portrait of the Old Prioress in "Dialogues of the Carmelites"), Menotti ("The Medium"), Gottfried von Einem ("The Visit of the Old Lady"), Walton ("The Bear"), Weill ("Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny"), Britten ("The Rape of Lucretia" – both Female Chorus and Lucretia) and Barber (her Baroness in "Vanessa").
