THE D'OYLY CARTE OPERA COMPANY

Clarice Vancourt

Clarice Vancourt (1907-09)

[Boen Bangalore, India 16 Aug 1885, died Wimbledon 27 Jun 1920]

Clarice Vancourt (stage name for Clarice Maud Williams) rehearsed with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company at the Savoy in June 1907, but it's unclear whether she joined the chorus at the Savoy for the end of the First London Repertory Season. It seems likely she'd been with the touring D'Oyly Carte Principal Repertory Opera Company, and probably returned to that Company in July. We do know that she returned to London to serve in the Savoy chorus for the Second London Repertory Season (April 1908-March 1909), and later in 1909 played Ada in Princess Ida with the Principal Repertory Company on tour.
