Robert Thomas Wales

A native of Cardiff, he studied voice at the Royal Academy of Music with Norman Allin; his studies were interrupted and thus delayed by his service in the Royal Navy in World War II. In 1950, he became Principal Tenor at Sadler's Wells; later on, he sang with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company (according to his descendants), or primarily with the Welsh National Opera in Cardiff (according to Kutsch & Riemens).

After retiring from singing, he became a professional and successful potter.
