Lind, Jenny,
1820-87, Swedish soprano. She made her debut
in 1838 as Agathe in Weber's Der Freischütz.
She studied in Paris and sang in Germany,
England, and Sweden. In 1849 she abandoned
opera for concert and oratorio until 1870.
Under the management of P. T. Barnum she
toured (1850-52) the United States with great
success. After her marriage to Otto
Goldschmidt in 1852 she lived in Dresden and
in London, where she taught at the Royal

nightingale, she was one of the greatest
coloratura sopranos of her time, possessing a
voice of remarkable range and quality.
