Morag Beaton
Morag Beaton (2 July 19261 April 2010) was a Scottish-Australian dramatic soprano who established her reputation as Turandot, a role she sang in Australia more than any other soprano to date. She also sang Tatiana (''Eugene Onegin''), Venus (''Tannhäuser''), Abigaille (''Nabucco''), Eboli (''Don Carlos'') Santuzza (''Cavalleria rusticana'') and many other roles. Her operatic career in Australia was relatively brief, lasting only from 1965 until 1983, with a final recital at the Sydney Opera House in 1983.〔(Article 18 January 1983 ), ''The Sydney Morning Herald''〕
==Background==
Today, Beaton's reputation rests largely on her appearances as Turandot (recorded in live performance and now on compact disc), and her performance as Cathy on the complete recording of Bernard Herrmann's only full-length opera ''Wuthering Heights''.〔Unicorn – Kanchana, 1972〕〔("Dream role launched diva Morag Beaton on world stage" ), ''The Australian'' (1 April 2010)〕〔("Morag Beaton: operatic soprano" ), obituary in ''The Times''〕 Beaton's operatic career is also notable because she is the only singer in history successfully to have alternated the exacting soprano role of Turandot with the contralto role of Maddalena (''Rigoletto'') in one season, and, in later seasons, sung the contralto role of Ulrica (''A Masked Ball'') followed by more Turandots and another difficult soprano role – Abigaille in ''Nabucco''.
After Beaton's final recital at the Sydney Opera House in 1983, she occasionally sang for special events such as the 80th birthday gala for Sylvia Fisher, and mentored many aspiring singers. The warm reception for Beaton at the Sydney Opera House in 1996, when she attended the gala to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Australian Opera Company, was as much an acknowledgement of her past performances as it was a reminder of how much audiences had missed her on stage in the intervening years.〔"Interview", Lady Viola Tate interview 1996, Peter Wylllie Johnston Opera Archive〕 In 2006, at a gala for one hundred guests in honour of Beaton's own 80th birthday, she sang two Scottish songs, accompanied by Geoffrey Tozer. "Still rich and glorious" declared the guest of honour, the renowned Australian opera star Lauris Elms, when she heard Beaton's singing on that occasion.〔''On Stage'', January 2007〕
