Charles Kenningham (18 November 1860 – 24 October 1925) was an English opera singer and actor best remembered for his roles in the 1890s with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company.
After singing as a boy soprano, Kenningham briefly served in the 5th Dragoon Guards. After nearly five years' service as a tenor at Canterbury Cathedral, he performed in Arthur Sullivan's grand opera ''Ivanhoe'' in 1891. He then became principal tenor with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company until 1898. There he created several roles, including the tenor roles in the last two Gilbert and Sullivan operas. He was also a composer who had a number of songs published in the 1890s. From 1898 to 1906, he toured in Australia and New Zealand with the J. C. Williamson opera company.
==Early career==
Kenningham was born in Hull, England. He began his musical career as a boy soprano soloist, at the age of eight, at Holy Trinity Church in Hull. Two years later he was principal boy chorister at St Paul's Cathedral in London, where he studied the organ with John Stainer.〔("Biographies:Charles Kenningham" ), HAT – History of Australian Theatre, 17 August 1898, accessed 5 October 2011〕〔 After his voice changed, he became the organist and choir master at St Luke's Church, Hull, at the age of age fourteen. After an engagement with a short-lived stage company he enlisted in the 5th Dragoon Guards.〔 With that military company, he travelled to Egypt in 1882, taking part in two engagements. He then returned to England, where he was stationed at York and gave organ recitals, earning enough from them to purchase his military discharge.〔
Kenningham's London stage debut was at the Adelphi Theatre in 1882 as Duvalor in a single matinée performance of Haydn Millars's operetta ''Mariette's Wedding''.〔Gänzl, p. 216〕 He was appointed principal tenor at Canterbury Cathedral, where he sang for almost five years.〔 He went on to create the role of Maurice de Bracy in Sir Arthur Sullivan's grand opera, ''Ivanhoe'', at the Royal English Opera House from January to July 1891.〔
