Elizabeth Inverarity

Elizabeth Inverarity, later "Mrs. Charles T. Martyn" (23 March 1813, in Edinburgh – 27 December 1846, in Newcastle-on-Tyne), was a Scottish opera soprano, popular singer and actress of the early 19th century, in England and in America.

[1] After early studies with a Mr. Thorne of the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, she became in 1829 a student of Alexander Murray, a singing teacher and prominent violinist.

Murray arranged her appearances in a series of concerts in Edinburgh in 1830, and in autumn of that year persuaded her family that she should travel to Italy for further vocal training.

When she reached London, however, she was introduced to Sir George Smart, a prominent conductor and vocal instructor, and decided to study with him.

After her marriage in 1834, she and her husband continued to perform, in England, Scotland, and America for a number of years.
