:Talk:Birgit Nilsson

Where is the evidence that she died on 25 December, 1 January, or any other particular date? News reports say she was buried on Wednesday 11 January, but her exact cause and date of death have not been revealed by her family. What do we know that the world at large does not know?

:The first news reports claimed that Nilsson was buried today (Jan 11) and that she died 10 days ago. At the moment, both [http://www.metoperafamily.org/operanews/news/pressrelease.aspx?id=1091 Opera News Online] and [http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-060111nilsson,1,1791431.story?coll=chi-entertainmentfront-hed Chicago Tribune] claims that DOD is December 25.

Birgit Nilsson was officially declared dead on Dec.25, 2005. Cause: Kidney failure. However, her husband - Bertil Niklasson - keept her death a secret until shortly after the funeral on Jan. 11, 2006. He didn't want the funeral to be turned into a media circus, and only a handful of close friends attended the cermony.

Isn't a large part of this article taken from the NY Times? Was permission sought or granted?

The IPA pronunciation under "Overview" is rather strange. What does it refer to - Nilsson's first name in English? If so, why is that needed? UrbanGrill 19:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:That's what I came to the talk page to ask, too. Having a foreign ("foreign" in relation to the person the article is about, rather than the article language) pronunciation of a name seems pointless. The Swedish pronunciation would be more relevant; for the time being, I'll remove the English one. --Bonadea (talk) 07:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

When Sweden now changes the portraits on its banknotes the 500 kronor bill will feature Birigt Nilsson. http://www.thelocal.se/33042/20110406/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.224.227.94 (talk) 14:02, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
