Her father, Edward, was a successful attorney; her mother was Franciszka Chylinska. In 1889 her family moved to Stary Sacz where her father opened an attorney's office. Soon he became the mayor of Stary Sacz and hold this position for seventeen years. After finishing elementary school, Ada left for Cieszyn and Cracow where she studied the basics of music and singing. In 1905 she was admitted to a private Musical School of Countess Pizzamano in Vienna (the capital of Austro-Hungarian empire) where she studied till 1908. From 1907 till 1910 she studied singing in Milan. In 1910 she debuted as Marguerite in Gounod's Faust in the Teatro Nazionale in Rome. From 1910 to 1912 she appeared in Milan, Florence, Genova, Madrid and Lisbon. In 1912 she came to Poland and sang at the concerts in Cracow. Her Polish operatic debut was in 1914 in the Teatr Polski in Warsaw where she appeared as Gilda in Rigoletto. She also sang in Cracow, Lwow, and Stanislawow. In 1919 she returned to Italy and from there she toured many European cities: Lisbon, Paris, London, and Munich. Her appearance in 1922 as Rosina in Rossini's "Barber of Seville" in La Scala, Milan, was a great success--and so was her performance in 1923 as the Queen of Night in Mozart's "Magic Flute." In 1925 she performed in South America (Bolivia, Argentina). In 1926 she again sang in Europe (Paris, Budapest, Stockholm).
