History
Johanna Maria (Jeny) Lind was a Swedish opera singer who was known as the Swedish Nightingale. Lind was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music and performed across Sweden, Europe, and the United States. In 1849 at the age 29 Lind announced her retirement from opera singing. However, in 1950 P.T. Barnum invited Lind to tour the United States which she did, giving 93 large concerts. She continued to tour the US herself and donated the proceeds of her concerts to charity. For the remainder of her life she gave only occasional concerts, and worked as a professor of singing at the Royal College of Music in England.
