Joyce Blackham (1 January 1934 – 4 June 2018) was an English operatic mezzo-soprano.
[1][2] She went to the Guildhall School of Music; there she studied with Joseph Hislop and, as Dorabella in a student production of Mozart's opera Così fan tutte, she gained attention.
In 1955 she was invited to join the Sadler's Wells Opera Company; early roles there were Lola in Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana and Olga in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin.
She appeared in several operettas of Offenbach, and in 1965 she created the role of Rosalind in the opera The Mines of Sulphur by Richard Rodney Bennett.
Her later marriage to Burt Kyle was dissolved; her third husband Tony Deacon predeceased her.
