Dedication of her songs
[edit]The name of one of these dedicatees needs editing: There was no Prince Eugénie, but there was a Princess Eugénie de Beauharnais who entertained musicians. However, there was also a nobler Prince Eugène de Beauharnais, who was her father and was Napoleon's stepson. Both lived during Colbran's lifetime. Which one was the dedicatee--the princess or the prince? German Wikipedia says Princess Eugénie, but one Italian source says Colbran enjoyed the patronage of Prince Eugène, viceroy of Italy.

"strained voice"
[edit]Two serious objections to this sentence (in addition to the solecism): "It is said she suffered from a strained voice, which is another way for saying she had a hard time staying in tune." A strained voice is not at all the same thing as bad intonation. And where's the documentation? This "is said" by whom? 98.115.255.240 (talk) 00:23, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
