Alys Lorraine (17 January 1885 – 13 September 1956) was an American soprano who was a prominent opera singer and recitalist in Europe during the early twentieth century.

In Rome, Lorraine met Italian operatic tenor Francesco Tamagno who encouraged her to study the voice after hearing her sing.

[2][5][8] Her debut London vocal recital in November that year was at Bechstein Hall and attracted critical attention.

The Morning Post described her voice as being "heard at its best when used gently in the mezza-voice: in the more forceable singing her tone coarsens and assumes a certain untunefulness.

[15] Lorraine herself stated "Too many concerts are given on conventional lines, both in Paris, where I live, and in London, so I determined when next I sang in England to present a programme which, by reason of its novelty, would arouse some attention.

[13] Beginning around September 1908, Lorraine performed in The Royal Opera House, The Hague, where she sang as Marguerite in Charles Gounod's Faust.

[16] Her depiction was described as "not of the stereotyped order", as she has obtained suggestion from friends of Gounod of how to avoid the conventional treatment of the role.

[17] Her debut was so successful that she was offered a two-year contract with the Royal Opera House, during which she also performed in Madama Butterfly.

"[27] Lorraine was given away in St George's, Hanover Square by Percy Pitt, musical director of The Royal Opera.
