About Clara Butt
- Dame Clara Ellen Butt, (1 February 1872 – 23 January 1936) was an English contralto.
- Her main career was as a recitalist and concert singer.
- Her voice, both powerful and deep, impressed contemporary composers such as Saint-Saëns and Elgar; the latter composed a song-cycle with her in mind as soloist. Butt appeared in only two operatic productions, both of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice.
- Later in her career she frequently appeared in recitals together with her husband, the baritone Kennerley Rumford.
- She made numerous recordings for the gramophone.
