1850911

珍妮‧林德於1820106日出生在瑞典的斯德哥爾摩,她的本名叫做喬安娜‧瑪麗亞‧林德 (Johanna Maria Lind) 。她在斯德哥爾摩第一次公開演唱歌劇時,只有17歲。當她前往美國發展時,歐洲早已經陷入一波「珍妮‧林德熱潮」 (Jenny Lind Fever) 。就連維多莉亞女王也對她印象深刻。 

「那是當天晚上最快樂的一件事了…..,」維多莉亞女王於1846422日,在她當天日記上寫著,「在珍妮‧林德登台並順利表演之後。她擁有最精緻、充滿力量,同時真的是最獨特的聲音,是那樣的圓滑、柔軟,又靈活。」


Jenny Lind was born Johanna Maria Lind on October 6, 1820, in Stockholm, Sweden. She was only 17 years old when she sang in her first opera in Stockholm. Europe was caught with "Jenny Lind fever" by the time she came to America. Even Queen Victoria of England was impressed with her.

"The great event of the evening. . . ," Queen Victoria wrote in her diary on April 22, 1846, "was Jenny Lind's appearance and her complete triumph. She has a most exquisite, powerful, and really quite peculiar voice, so round, soft, and flexible."
