From 1928 to 1934 she studied singing at the Prague Conservatory with Doubravka Branbergerová née Černochová (1885–1945). In 1936, she went to Vienna to study with Cecílie Steinbrücková.〔 (information on a broadcast for Červinková's centenary)〕 She continued studying with Pěničková after 1942.〔 She began her career as a principal soprano at the opera house in Olomouc in 1934.
