Fanny Moody

Frances "Fanny" Moody (23 November 1866–21 July 1945) was an operatic soprano of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, billed as 'The Cornish Nightingale'. In 1898 with her husband, the bass Charles Manners, she formed the Moody-Manners Opera Company, dedicated to presenting opera in English. The Moody-Manners company performed in London, the British provinces, North America and South Africa, with Moody often in the leading soprano roles, from 1898 to 1916.

Moody created leading roles in several operas, including the title roles in Corder's Nordisa (1887) and Pizzi's Rosalba (1902) and Militza in McAlpin's The Cross and the Crescent (1903). In 1892 she appeared at the Olympic Theatre in London as Tatyana in the British premiere of Eugene Onegin, conducted by Henry Wood, with her husband as Gremin.
