Marie Elisabeth Zinck née Thomsen (1789–1823) was a Danish actress and operatic soprano. After initially training at the Royal Danish Ballet school, she made her début at the Royal Danish Theatre as an actress in 1808. Thanks to her pleasant voice, she increasingly performed in plays with musical roles or in operas and operettas, becoming a firm favourite with her audiences. One of her most successful roles was that of Cherubin in The Marriage of Figaro, both in the play by Pierre Beaumarchais and in Mozart's opera. She performed in a wide variety of productions until her death from pneumonia in early 1823, just 33 years old.[1][2][3]
