In Chicago, Dufau was a lead soprano, nicknamed the "smallest soprano". She performed in operas such as ''Die Walküre'', ''The Barber of Seville'', and ''I gioielli della Madonna''. In 1914, she sang the title role in Massenet's ''Manon'' for the Boston Opera Company.〔("Joseph Urban Papers, 1893–1998" ), Columbia University Libraries: Rare Book & Manuscript Library〕 In 1916, Dufau shifted her focus to singing concerts nationwide, notably at the Ravinia Festival, Hamilton Park (Chicago), and Symphony Hall, Boston. The American composer Frank La Forge wrote songs for her which she performed at these concerts. Dufau also participated in a burgeoning art form called "Cinema Concerts", in which she sang with silent films. In 1916, she performed with the film ''The Law Decides''. Dufau returned to Europe following the end of World War I and died on 29 August 1924 in Pau, France.〔 ==References== 〔
