Acclaimed and much loved Australian mezzo-soprano Jacqueline Dark has died following the resurgence of a rare form of cancer she had previously battled for much of 2022.
Dark, fondly known as “Jacqui”, was born in Ballarat, Victoria in 1968 and cut her teeth as a performer in the regional city’s vibrant amateur music theatre community. She died at St George Private Hospital, Sydney on the night of Tuesday 3 October, aged 55.
