Charlotte Brent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charlotte Brent (1735- 10 April 1802) was a child prodigy and celebrated soprano singer of the 18th century.
She was the daughter of Charles Brent (1693-1770), a Handelian counter-tenor, and fencing-master [1]. She was a pupil and mistress of Thomas Arne (the composer of Rule, Britannia!) and later the wife of the violinist Thomas Pinto (who she married in 1766). She was also the step grandmother of the composer and keyboard virtuoso George Pinto.
