Winifred Lawson
Winifred Lawson (15 November 1892 – 30 November 1961) was an opera and concert singer in the first half of the 20th century. She is best remembered for her performances in the soprano roles in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas as a member of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company.
==Life and career==
Lawson was born in Wolverhampton, England. She started out as a concert singer; after a 1918 concert, ''The Times'' wrote, "It is becoming rare nowadays to hear a high soprano who sings perfectly in tune, with a flexible voice and without ''tremolo'', and the pleasure is all the greater when it does come."〔"M. Vigliani's Concert", ''The Times'', 20 March 1918, p. 9〕 She made her first appearance on the London opera stage in 1920 as the Countess Almaviva in ''The Marriage of Figaro'' at the Old Vic.〔"Mozart at The 'Old Vic'," ''The Times'', 17 January 1920, p. 8. The anonymous reviewer wrote that Lawson was one of three singers who "made us all feel the truth that there is nothing in the world quite so beautiful as Mozart's airs for the soprano voice".〕 She went on to appear in ''The Magic Flute'', as Marguerite in ''Faust'', and as the Princess in ''Prince Ferelon''. She also sang in the Cambridge performances of Purcell's ''Fairy-Queen''.〔(Lawson at the Memories of the D'Oyly Carte website )〕
