In September 1850, Lind sailed to America after showman P.T. Barnum offered her an 18-month contract to perform 150 concerts throughout the United States at the rate of $1,000 per performance. Barnum's advanced publicity led to Lind achieving national celebrity status even before she arrived in America, with the press at the time referring to the enthusiastic reception and high demand for tickets as \"Lind mania.\" Lind donated her earnings to charity, including an endowment of free schools in Sweden.

Nicknamed the \"Swedish Nightingale,\" Lind gained fame as an operatic soprano throughout Europe starting at the age of 11. By the age of 28, Lind announced her retirement from the operatic stage, playing her last performance, which was attended by Queen Victoria and members of the British Royal Family, on May 10, 1849 in London, England. In September 1850, Lind sailed to America after showman P.T. Barnum offered her an 18-month contract to perform 150 concerts throughout the United States at the rate of $1,000 per performance. Barnum's advanced publicity led to Lind achieving national celebrity status even before she arrived in America, with the press at the time referring to the enthusiastic reception and high demand for tickets as \"Lind mania.\" Lind donated her earnings to charity, including an endowment of free schools in Sweden. After marrying Otto Goldschmidt in 1852 she returned to Europe where she remained until her death on November 2, 1887 at the age of 67.","Léopold-Émile Reutlinger was born March 17, 1863 in Callao, Peru to a German-Jewish family of photographers. In 1883 he joined the family's photography studio in Paris, France before taking over in 1890. Reutlinger is best know for his photographs of popular actresses and opera singers, including the stars of entertainment venues such as the Moulin Rouge and the Folies Bergère, as well as photographs for fashion and advertising and his pioneering work in erotic photography. He passed away on March 16, 1937 at the age of 73.","Additional biographical information for single image specific individuals can be found in the folder level Scope and Content.","Processing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner in June 2026.

Work on the opera began in 1979 after Kay and Dorr received a National Endowment for the Arts grant the previous year. The opera's story focuses on the final year in the life of abolitionist and statesman Frederick Douglass after the marriage to his second wife Helen Pitts Douglass. The opera was completed in 1985, but did not premiere until over 5 years later. The opera's world premiere starred Kevin Maynor as Frederick Douglass and Klara Barlow as Helen Pitts Douglass and took place on April 12, 1991 at Newark Symphony Hall performed by the New Jersey State Opera.","Ulysses S. Kay was born in Tucson, Arizona on January 7, 1917. The nephew of jazz musician King Oliver, Kay studied music both domestically and internationally, spending four years in Rome, Italy (1949-1953) through support from a Fulbright Scholarship, the Rome Prize, and a Julius Rosenwald Fellowship. Known for his neoclassical style symphonic and choral compositions, Kay won multiple awards and recognitions throughout his career, including the third annual George Gershwin Memorial Contest. In 1968 he was appointed distinguished professor at Lehman College of the City University of New York where he taught for 20 years, until his retirement. Kay also wrote five operas, with Frederick Douglass being his last. He passed away on May 20, 1995 at the age of 78 due to complications of Parkinson's disease.","Donald L. Miller was born on June 30, 1923 in Jamaica. An artist and illustrator, Miller is best known for his large painted mural in Washington, D.C.'s Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library which depicts Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other activists and events during the Civil Rights movement. Miller also worked as a cartoonist for The Adakian newspaper, a children's book illustrator, and served as an art professor at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. He passed away on February 7, 1993.","The New Jersey State opera was founded in 1964 as the Opera Theater of Westfield, with Alfredo Silipigni serving as one of the first Artistic Directors. In 1965, the name was changed to the Opera Theatre of New Jersey, and later to the New Jersey State Opera in 1974.

Born November 18, 1786, von Weber had a somewhat successful career in music, though his personal life suffered many illnesses and setbacks, which affected his compositions and reputation in the music world. Von Weber was commissioned by the Opera at Covent Garden in London to compose an opera focused on either the fictional characters Faust or Oberon. Von Weber chose Oberon, the fairy king of Shakespeare's \"A Midsummer Night's Dream\" and accepted the commission, mostly for financial reasons and against the advice of his doctor. \"Oberon\" was von Weber's last work, written and staged in London in April 1826.

Focusing on characters made famous by Shakespeare's \"A Midsummer Night's Dream\" including the titular Oberon, the fairy queen Titania, and Puck, the opera focuses on another instance of the fairies meddling with mortal lovers and their lives, this time in an orientalist, medieval setting. The libretto, written by James Robinson Planché, is an adaptation of the German poem \"Oberon\" by Christoph Martin Wieland, which is itself an adaptation of \"Huon de Bordeaux\", a 13th French epic poem.
