Description

Born in Stockholm, the classical soprano Jenny Lind was in demand across Europe and America in the 1840s. By the time she made her debut in London in 1847, she was hailed the ‘Swedish Nightingale’. Her first British performance was the most ‘overwhelming operatic success’ London had ever seen and Queen Victoria threw her a bouquet. Lind retired from the stage in 1849 emotionally and physically exhausted from her heavy schedule of travel and performance. She eventually moved to Britain in 1858 and was later appointed first professor of singing at the new Royal College of Music in 1883.
