Joanna Maria Lindehleim

She was advertised as Italian, which was very fashionable for singers, however Charles Burney thought she was only trained in Italy and she was maybe born in Germany.

[1] In 1703 she was billed as Signiora Joanna Maria Lindehleim’ and she sang in both French and Italian.

Her first few performances were at York Buildings in 1702[2] and then at Drury Lane and each time she sang with Gasparo Visconti.

[5] Her name seems to have been a continued confusion and she was billed as "Mrs Joanna Maria" and later when the score for Camilla was printed she was credited as "The Baroness".

This latter name was assumed again when she performed Camilla again in 1707 at Drury Lane and again when she was at the Queens Theatre in the Haymarket in 1708.
