Jacqueline Dark
Jacqueline Lisa Dark (also Jacqueline Moran; 1967 or 1968 – 3 October 2023) was an Australian operatic mezzo-soprano who appeared mainly with Australian companies, for a while as a member of Opera Australia. She was known for her voice in leading roles, including world premieres, but also for her stage presence and "a unique sense of comic timing".
Dark was awarded a Green Room Award for performing as Donna Elvira in Mozart's Don Giovanni in 2011, and a 2013 Helpmann Awards for Herodias in Salome, among others. Active also in music theatre and cabaret, she toured Australia and New Zealand in 2015 as Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music, and a reviewer wrote: "She embodies the firm but caring mother and her towering, glorious voice closes the first act with a stunning rendition of 'Climb Ev'ry Mountain'."
