"Vocal affection"[edit]

"Shortly afterwards, she suffered from vocal affection..." What does that mean? A web search wasn't very helpful, and the term isn't linked to any other Wikipedia article. Whoever knows what this means beyond something bad happening to the voice (which is obvious from context), please clarify. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:06, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Joséphine Fodor (13 October 1789 or in 1793 – 10 August 1870) was a French lyrical artist (soprano) with Hungarian and Dutch ancestors. Her family moved to Saint Petersburg when she was an infant, probably because of the French Revolution. After marrying in 1812, Fodor and her husband moved back to France when Saint Petersburg came under attack during the French invasion of Russia. She performed roles for the Opéra-Comique in Paris, later being engaged by the Comédie-Italienne, and also appeared in London, Venice, Naples and Vienna. Experiencing problems with her voice, she gradually ended her operatic career and withdrew from the stage. This lithograph depicts her in 1815.
