In 1898 he relocated to New York City, the only major recording center of the time. One of the earliest violinists to make recordings, D'Almaine's first was recorded in 1899 and released on an Edison cylinder. He went to the Berliner Gramophone studios in January and February 1900, where at least 13 of his recordings were issued. When a standing orchestra was established at the Edison studios, D'Almaine was made concertmaster. Beginning his association with the Victor company in 1901, he eventually became concertmaster of the house unit, the Victor Orchestra. His musical duties outside the recording studio included positions at the Metropolitan Opera House. In addition to performing, he also made several violins. He continued his musical career and was second-violinist with the New York Metropolitan Opera orchestra for the 1921–1922 season, and was employed there until the 1924–1925 season in the violin section.

With Massenet's help, however, she made her début 30 Dec., 1904 in Nice, singing Manon. She was equally successful in the roles of Marguerite, Micaëla, and Mimi. Leoncavallo was in Nice for the French premiere of his CHATTERTON, in which Donalda sang Jenny and, subsequently, under his direction, she sang Nedda in PAGLIACCI. She made her London début 24 May, 1905 at Covent Garden, singing Micaëla with Emmy Destinn and Charles Dalmorès, under the direction of André Messager. At Covent Garden on 28 June, 1905 she sang the role of Ah-Joe in the premiere of Franco Leoni's L'ORACOLO, with Dalmorès, Scotti, and Vanni-Marcoux as partners. On 24 July, 1919 she sang Concepción in the English premiere of Ravel's L'HEURE ESPAGNOLE. Considered a rival of Melba, she often replaced her and thus sang Mimi with Enrico Caruso. She made her New York début 7 Dec., 1906 in FAUST and sang in CARMEN, MARTHA, DON GIOVANNI, LA TRAVIATA, LOHENGRIN, and PAGLIACCI in the course of Hammerstein’s historic season that brought together Melba, Calvé, Bonci, Ancona, Sammarco, Renaud and Gilibert. In the spring of 1910, she opened the Covent Garden season replacing Luisa Tetrazzini, on short notice, in LA TRAVIATA with McCormack and Sammarco.
