In 1879 they were again in Australia, and Moore began playing in Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Her voice was not large, but she knew how to use it, and on occasion she took the parts of Josephine and Buttercup in H.M.S. Pinafore,"Amusements: Theatre Royal", Sydney Morning Herald, 17 November 1879, p. 5 Mabel and Ruth in The Pirates of Penzance and once, when the actress chosen could not appear, Katisha in The Mikado. In Patience, her part was Lady Jane. Possibly her best part in opera was Bettina, in Edmond Audran's La Mascotte.
