James Johnston

ts, 1903-1991 IE, Belfast
Musician of Classical

James Johnston (11 August 1903 - 17 October 1991) was a Northern Irish lyric tenor, principally in opera.Born in Belfast, Johnston had no formal training and began his working life as a butcher in his father's shop. He entered numerous competitions - winning all but one he entered - and supplemented his income by singing in semi-professional performances around Ireland. After positive notices of a performance in Rigoletto in Dublin in 1940, he was offered a contract with Sadler's Wells Opera, where he stayed for almost ten years, becoming principal tenor.
