Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NILSSON, CHRISTINE (1843 ) , Swedish
singer
 , was born at Wedersloff, near Wexio, Sweden, on the loth of August 1843. Her father was a poor working man, and she used as a girl to sing and perform on the
violin
  at popular gatherings. In 1857 a wealthy man, M. Tornerhjelm, perceiving the unusual beauty of her voice while she was performing at a
fair
  in Ljungby, provided the means for giving her a proper musical education, and in 186o she was heard in the concert halls in Stockholm and
Upsala
 , and then went to Pails, where, after four years' study, she made her debut in the role of Violetta at the Theatre Lyrique on the 27th of October 1864. Between that date and 1872, when she married M. Auguste Rouzaud, she was the leading prima donna. Her first
appearance
  in London was in 1867. A year later, on the 9th of March, she made her first
appearance
  in the Paris Opera
House
  as Ophelie in Hamlet; and she visited the United States in 1870. She sang in St
Petersburg
  in 1872; in America in 18731874 and in 1882; in Germany and Austria between 1876 and 1877; and in the next few years in Spain and Scandinavia; but after her
marriage
  her appearances in public were rare. M. Rouzaud died in 1882, and five years afterwards Madame Nilsson married Count A. de Casa Miranda, and finally retired from the stage.
