Nancy Evans (opera singer)
Nancy Evans OBE (19 March 1915 – 20 August 2000) was an English mezzo-soprano who had a notable career as a concert and opera singer. She is particularly associated with Benjamin Britten who wrote his song cycle, ''A Charm of Lullabies'', and the role of Nancy in his opera ''Albert Herring'' for her.
==Biography==
Evans was born in Liverpool and educated at Calder High School for Girls there. After studying singing first with John Tobin and later with Maggie Teyte and Eva de Reusz, she made her recital debut in Liverpool at the age of 18. In or before 1936 she took the part of Dido in the premiere recording of Purcell's ''Dido and Aeneas'' with Roy Henderson as Aeneas, under Boyd Neel.〔(Purcell Society recording): R.D. Darrell, ''Gramophone Shop Encyclopedia of Recorded Music'', (New York 1936).〕 Initially a recital and concert singer, she made her stage debut in 1938 in Arthur Sullivan's ''The Rose of Persia'' at the Prince's Theatre in London, which was followed by a series of small roles at Royal Opera House. During World War II, she sang throughout Europe and the Middle East in ENSA concerts for the British armed forces.
After the war ended, she joined Benjamin Britten's newly formed English Opera Group. Her first important opera role was Lucretia in the 1946 Glyndebourne production of Britten's ''The Rape of Lucretia''. The following year she created the role of Nancy in his ''Albert Herring'', also at Glyndebourne, and in 1948 she sang Polly in Britten's version of ''The Beggar's Opera''.
After her retirement, Evans taught singing at the Britten-Pears School in Snape Maltings, and was made an OBE in 1991. She died in Aldeburgh at the age of 85.
