Malibran instantly resigned for the benefit of her husband's creditors any claims which she might have made on the remnants of his estate, and her New York admirers had as much occasion to applaud the rectitude and honor of the woman as they had had the genius of the artist.
Malibran was, beyond all of her competitors, a singer of most versatile and brilliant genius, in whom dramatic instincts reigned with as dominant force as ability of musical expression.
Malibran's second season in Paris confirmed the estimate which had been placed on her genius, but the incessant labors of her professional life and the ardor with which she pursued the social enjoyments of life were commencing to undermine her health.

But the famous soprano Maria Malibran liked Donizetti's first version better, and she was singing the title role of Mary Stuart.
So, on her own, Malibran ignored the changes and sang the opera as originally written.
For decades, only the "presentable," censored version was performed and that may be the main reason that Maria Stuarda, one of Donizetti's most fascinating and moving operas, has only recently regained its place in the world's opera houses.

She became very soon one of the most celebrated singers of her time.
She appeared in a variety of Rossini’s operas (Tancredi, Otello, Il Turco in Italia, La Cenerentola, Semiramide) but also succeeded in Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda and in Meyerbeer’s Il Crociato in Egitto.
She certainly never had the operatic success of her sister Maria Malibran in the Italian repertoire but in the operas by Meyerbeer and Halévy, she had no equal.
