1843 1921 Christina Christine Nilsson Opera Singer Swedish Performing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting Swedish opera singer, Christine Nilsson, in the midst of a mesmerizing performance during the early 20th century. Born on March 15, 1843, in Stockholm, Sweden, Nilsson's exceptional vocal abilities and magnetic stage presence quickly propelled her to international fame. Nilsson's career began in earnest in 1862 when she made her debut as Amina in Bellini's "La Sonnambula" at the Royal Opera in Stockholm. Her talent did not go unnoticed, and she was soon invited to perform in Europe, making her London debut in 1864. Over the next few decades, she graced the stages of the world's most prestigious opera houses, including La Scala in Milan, the Théâtre-Lyrique in Paris, and the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In this photograph, taken in 1921, Nilsson exudes an air of confidence and poise as she holds a cigarette between her fingers, adding an unexpected element to her regal and sophisticated appearance. The historical context of this image highlights the changing societal norms of the time, as women's roles in both opera and society continued to evolve. Nilsson's legacy as one of the most celebrated Swedish opera singers of all time is undeniable. Her voice, described as "golden and silvery," captivated audiences for over five decades, and her influence on the world of opera continues to be felt to this day. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Nilsson's extraordinary talent and the indelible mark she left on the operatic world.
