context_section_description: Edna de Lima first sang at New York's Aeolian Hall in 1916. She made her Chicago concert debut in 1917, when a reviewer declared that "Nature has been bounteous to Mme. de Lima in the bestowal of personal attractiveness and grace of manner in addition to the crystalline purity of her voice." She was billed as "formerly of the Vienna Opera" when she appeared at the Stadium Concerts in New York in the summer of 1918. She performed on a bill with pianist Winifred Byrd, tenor Dan Beddoe, and violinist Michel Gusikoff, for the Globe Music Club later in 1918. She translated lyrics for recitalists, including Margaret Matzenauer. During World War I, she sang at concerts for the Liberty Bond Campaign, and for the Red Cross.
