Good question, and some documentation below, although I am still searching for the Erik reference, however, I did find her picture!!!

"The real Christine Daaé
Christine Nilsson

Leroux took much of Christine Daaé's childhood background from the opera singer Christine Nilsson. Nilsson was born Kristina Jonasdotter in 1843, in a small village in Sweden. She sang at fairs, where she came to the attention of Madame Adelaide Valerius-Leuhusen, who provided for her education. When she began singing lessons in Paris she changed her name to Christina Nilsson, and went on to become an internationally acclaimed opera star, said to have sung like a goddess. Her second husband was a Count."
