MacWatters, Virginia, 1912-2005

Soprano Virginia MacWatters was known not only for her impressive operatic career during which she performed in opera houses throughout the United States, Europe, and South America, but also for her dedication to teaching. In 1957 she joined the voice faculty of the Indiana University School of Music where she remained until her retirement in 1982. “Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark” is one of the most famous pieces composed by Henry Rowley Bishop, which was an adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors.
