SCHRODER -
DEVRIENT
 , WILHELMINE (1804-1860),
German
  operatic
singer
 , was born on the 6th of December 1804, in Hamburg, being the daughter of the actress, Sophie Schroder (1781-1868). Her first impersonation was at the age of fifteen as Aricia in Schiller's
translation
  of Racine's Phedre, and in 1821 she was received with so much
enthusiasm
  as Pamina in Mozart's Zauberflote that her future career in
opera
  was assured. In 1823 she married Karl
Devrient
 , but was separated from him in 1828, afterwards making two other marriages. Meanwhile she had maintained her popularity at Dresden and elsewhere. She made her first Paris
appearance
  in 1830, and she sang in London in 1833 and 1837. As a
singer
  she combined a rare quality of
tone
  with dramatic intensity of expression, which was as remarkable on the concert platform as in
opera
 . She died in
Coburg
  on the 26th of January 186o.
See E. von Glumer, Erinnerungen an Wilhelmine Schroder-Devrient (
Leipzig
 , 1862); and A. von Wolzogen, Wilhelmine Schroder-Devrient (
Leipzig
 , 1863).
