She married a member of the Polish aristocracy, and retired from the stage for six years from 1896 to 1902. After her hiatus, she sang initially in Russia; it was not until 1909 that she returned to her native Italy to sing. Boronat was noted for a voice of great beauty and clarity, and exceptional technical ability, coupled with sensitive musicianship. She was particularly associated with the roles of Rosina in The Barber of Seville, Violetta in La traviata, Elvira in I puritani, and Ophélie in Hamlet. After her retirement, Boronat founded a singing school in Warsaw.
Boronat's complete recordings, dating from 1904 and 1908, were released by Marston Records in 1997. These include works by Alexander Alyabyev, Bellini, Bizet, Donizetti, Flotow, Pietro Giannelli, Gounod, Mikhail Ivanov, Meyerbeer, Tosti, Verdi, and Redento Zardo.
