JENNY LIND 
From 
New 
the cover of a music sheet published in 
York in 1847, three years before she began 
singing in Castle Garden 
“Jenny Lind was now face to face with an 
American audience, and probably the largest 
audience before which she had ever sang. . . . 
She indeed sang the Cavatina so finely that the 
audience were completely carried away by their 
feelings and drowned the last portion of the air 
in a perfect tempest of acclamation.” 
Soon came the duet in which Jenny Lind sang 
with Belletti. “She sang it deliciously, and the 
approbation of the audience broke out so vehem- 
ently that they were at length compelled to desist, 
and this from sheer exhaustion. 
“In the meantime a singular scene had been 
going on in the rear of the building. The 
river was swarming with boats, filled with the 
hardest class of customers, numbering consider- 
ably more than five hundred. They had abso- 
lutely besieged Castle Garden by water. How- 
ever, Mr. Matsell, the chief of the police, had 
effectually guarded against the chance of such 
an intrusion.” 
The author continues: “This time it was the 
Flute Song by Meyerbeer. It called

forth the enthusiasm of those present, until the 
applause died down from the fatigue which it 
produced.” 
The author describes the concert in detail, 
finally coming to the Echo Song: “It completely 
and irrevocably sealed her triumph, and when 
she came forward and sang her Greeting to 
America, it was listened to as that of the greatest 
singer who had ever crossed the water that sep- 
arates it from the Old World.”
