Zhou Xiaoyan
Zhou Xiaoyan (; born 1917) is a Chinese vocal pedagogue and retired classical soprano. Dubbed by ''The New York Times'' as "China's First Lady of Opera", she is considered to be the first important instructor of Western opera in China. As a vocalist, she performed in theaters and concert halls across Europe in 1946–1947; earning the nickname the "Chinese Nightingale".〔 Under the directive of Premier Zhou Enlai, she began a career teaching voice at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in 1949. She has remained an instructor at the Shanghai Conservatory for more than 65 years.〔 Many of her students have gone on to highly successful international opera careers.〔
==Early life in China==
Born in Shanghai,〔 Zhou's father was a wealthy Wuhan banker. She was educated at an Italian Catholic school in Shanghai which exposed her to studies in Western music. She was also influenced in her youth by the White Russian and Jewish musicians who were prevalent in 1930s Shanghai.〔
In 1936, at the age of 18, Zhou began her professional musical training at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.〔 While a student at the conservatory she was a member in a performance art troupe. She rose to fame in her native country shortly after the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Wishing to raise the morale of the Chinese people facing the invasion by Japan, she sang the patriotic song ''The Great Wall Ballad'' at concerts in Wuhan and Singapore which were highly regarded and inspired financial aid and the conscription of soldiers for the war effort.〔
