Frances "Fanny" Moody 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.
