She sang at various premières: Auber's "Marco Spada" (1852), Meyerbeer's "L'étoile du Nord" (1854), Auber's "Jenny Bell" (1855), Massé's "Saisons" (1855), Halevy's "Valentine d'Aubigny" (1856) and Massé's "Fior d'Aliza" (1866). In 1852 she sang the première of "Juanita", an opera written by her father Gilbert Duprez. Because of her poor health she ended her career early and died at the age of 43.

On the photo she is seen with her husband Amédée van den Heuvel who played first violin at the Grand Opera Paris. They were married in 1856.
