Her operatic debut took place in 1900 at the Wiesbaden Royal Court Theater, where she performed in Meyerbeer's Le Prophete. She made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1909. After 1911, she retired from singing and focused on composing operettaas, ballets, and songs. Her first operetta, Rosalind, was based on Shakespeare's As You Like it; its 1938 premiere in Carmel, California was sponsored by Eleanor Roosevelt, an acquaintance of Wickham's. Wickham went on to compose two more operettas, three ballets, and many songs.</p>"}
