    "In September 1909 Amy Castles returned to Australia for a four-and-a-half month tour of seventy-two towns for J. & N. Tait. Her voice at this time was described as astonishingly even and full. At the end of this tour she appeared in the Australian première of Puccini's Madame Butterfly for J. C. Williamson."
