| Biography | Donald Sydney Smith OBE (27 July 1920, Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia 1 December 1998, Brisbane, Australia) was an Australian operatic tenor. His voice had a bright Italianate quality, which could match in size, carrying power and tonal allure the voices of most sopranos and mezzos. He attracted a fiercely loyal public following, and many Australians who had no prior experience of opera became opera lovers through Smith's work. His performances were regularly sold out. |
