NILSSON
(Christine, 1843-1921, Swedish Singer)
Autograph Letter Signed on card, in French with translation, signed 'Christine', to Charlotte, Lady MacGregor,
saying "all three of us accept with pleasure" and sending "if it would amuse you this evening ... two tickets for the performance at the Casino. The Comédie Française are playing 'The Tour de Nesle' ", she has brought this note round herself in the hope that they can meet, Casa Miranda coat of arms in gold (5 maidens arranged 2-1-2), 2 sides oblong 8vo., no place. (Menton), 'Sunday' 10th January
Nilsson's voice was brilliant, though not powerful, and perfectly even over 2½ octaves up to top E. She made her début as Violetta, and excelled also as Ophelia, Marguérite and Mignon. Her first husband (1872) was Auguste Rouzaud (d. 1882), and her second (1887) Don Ángel Vallejo y Miranda (d. 1902), Count of Casa Miranda. They spent the winters at their Château Vallaya, Menton, 1900-1914.
