She was an opera singer (in Sweden) and here she is playing Juliet in "Romio and Juliet".

Out of curiosity, what is her ethnicity? Is she Caucasian?

She's Jewish. She looks to have a really dark compexion in many photos, but her dad (there's a drawing of him on his wikipedia) looks a lot more typical Swedish from that time. She has such an interesting look, doesn't she?

Yes, that is exactly why I was asking. She looks like she has some "color" to her so I was curious.

By the way, I forgot to say: your great-great-great-grandmother was beautiful! :-)

I love everything about this picture! She is lovely. That hair. That dotted swiss dress. That jewelry. Thanks for sharing OP.

Aw thanks so much! It's the first time I've heard of her, and we all still love music in the family and I'm a singer too (not professionally though 😅) so it's really nice to see how far back the musical interest goes!
