Hindmarsh, Jean
Performer
Jean Hindmarsh (born 1932) is a retired English singer and actress. She is best known as a principal soprano with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in the 1950s and 1960s. Hindmarsh sings the lead soprano roles on four D'Oyly Carte recordings: Yum-Yum in The Mikado (1957), Mabel in Pirates (1957), Josephine in Pinafore(1960), and Rose Maybud in Ruddigore (1962), even though she never played Yum-Yum or Rose with the company. Of the 1957 Pirates, reviewer Mel Moratti wrote, "The highlights must be the pairing of Thomas Round and Jean Hindmarsh as Frederic and Mabel. Their solos and duets are most delightful".The Rough Guide to Opera comments that she "is a uniquely charming Josephine" in Pinafore. [source from Wikipedia]
