: The Swedish Nightingale
with Ingrid BergmanIt is a mistake to say that the fame of Jenny Lind rests solely upon her ability to sing. She was a woman who would have been adored if she had had the voice of a crow.
(PHINEAS T. BARNUM )
When she first appeared in London in 1847, Jenny Lind became, after Queen Victoria, the most famous and best loved woman in England. Even among those who never heard her sing she was a household name. She was able to write to a friend giving her London address: 'though I blush to say it, just put Jenny Lind and your letter will find me.'
In this account of her life, INGRID BERGMAN reads from Jenny Lind 's letters and JOAN Sutherland , in gramophone recordings, sings extracts from the operas in which she appeared during the ten years she was the greatest prima donna in the world. STEPHEN THORNE as Narrator

This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
