She followed up with another sensation as Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor alongside tenor Orville Harrold. Lyne was petite and appeared childlike. In spite of Hammerstein's original vision for her career in primarily light opera, Lyne began to prove herself in more grand operatic roles. Her additional roles in Hammerstein's productions included the Doll in The Tales of Hoffmann, Juliette in Roméo et Juliette, Lisbeth in Hans the Flute Player, and Marguerite in Faust. Less than year after her debut, Hammerstein and Lyne had a falling out. She told reporters that Hammerstein had grossly insulted her at the opera house, and that she had then struck him "so hard on his unprotected pate" with a score of ''Faust'' that she had sprained her thumb.

It debuted at the Théâtre Lyrique on the Boulevard du Temple in Paris on 19 March 1859, with influential sets designed by Charles-Antoine Cambon and Joseph Thierry, Jean Émile Daran, Édouard Desplechin, and Philippe Chaperon.

Singers perform music (arias, recitatives, songs, etc.) that can be sung with or without accompaniment by musical instruments. Singing is often done in an ensemble of musicians, such as a choir. Singers may perform as soloists or accompanied by anything from a single instrument (as in art song or some jazz styles) up to a symphony orchestra or big band. Different singing styles include art music such as opera and Chinese opera, Indian music, Japanese music, and religious music styles such as gospel, traditional music styles, world music, jazz, blues, ghazal, and popular music styles such as pop, rock, and electronic dance music.
