Engaged for the 1964-5 season by Sadler's Wells in London, Lebrun sang

roles in The Tales of Hoffmann, Fidelio, Falstaff, Der Rosenkavalier,
The Marriage of Figaro, and The Barber of Seville. In 1970 she made her
debut at the New York City Opera as Gilda in Rigoletto. After her
performance Robert Sherman wrote in the New York Times (2 Mar 1970):
'There is musicality behind every phrase'. She also sang Constanze in
The Abduction from the Seraglio and Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro.

Lebrun participated in the Glyndebourne (1970), Santa Fe (1971), and
Salzburg (1974) festivals, singing one of her best roles, that of the
Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute. She also sang this role in 1975
in the Festival Canada (Festival Ottawa) production at the NAC and at
the Opéra de Lyon in 1978. For the Opéra du Québec she sang the title
role in Donizetti's The Daughter of the Regiment (1971), Gilda in
Rigoletto (1972), and Nanetta in Falstaff (1974). She sang the title
role in Lucia di Lammermoor (1973) at the Opera Nacional de Mexico, and
other leading roles at the Toulouse Théâtre du Capitole (1974, 1975) and
the Philadelphia Academy of Music (1975). At the PDA in July 1976 she
was Rosina in The Barber of Seville, presented by the Opéra du Québec
during the Olympics in Montreal.

Lebrun has appeared as soloist with several Canadian and European
orchestras, notably the MSO and the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, and has
given public recitals on CBC radio and TV and on Cologne Radio. During

Valois in Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots in Radio France opera productions.
For Italian radio-TV (RAI) in 1977 she sang the Countess in Rossini's Le
Comte Ory.

Lebrun resided 1977-86 in France, where she made her debut at the Opéra
de Paris as Constanze in The Abduction from the Seraglio (1984). She
also participated in the premiere of Luigi Nono's Al gran sole carico
d'amore at the Opéra de Lyon (1982) and toured Brazil, Germany, and
