Paris Opéra on 22 December 1841,^[5] and afterwards toured in Italy, receiving acclaim in both Florence and Naples.^[2]^[6]

In autumn 1850 Fitzjames travelled to New York, where she made her debut in Paquita at the Astor Place Opera House as part of Max Maretzek's opera company. Her part was staged for her by Lucien Petipa.^[2] Fitzjames danced the lead role in Terpsichore in another Italian Opera Company production in early 1851, at the Chestnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia.^[7] American audiences are reported to have found her too thin for their taste.^[2]

Fitzjames was a believer in modernising women's dress. In the spring of 1851, she danced with a so-called "Bloomer Troupe" in Brooklyn, sporting the recently invented and controversial

bloomer costume.^[2]
