About Wilhelmine Holmboe-Schenström
Sara Wilhelmine Holmboe-Schenström, also known by the stage name Wilhelmine L'Hombino was a Norwegian mezzo-soprano concert singer who later sang in opera. She has been described by opera historian Maud Hurum as one of the first women in the country to gain international recognition for her singing, alongside Karen Holmsen and Gina Oselio. After appearing in a concert in Oslo in 1872, she gave recitals in Germany, France, England and Scandinavia. She went on to perform in operas in Sweden and in continental Europe, including a three-year engagement in Italy. After her marriage in 1880, she became a voice teacher in Oslo and Sweden.
