Donna Brown (born 15 February 1955) is a Canadian soprano opera singer. Brown was born in Renfrew, Ontario. She began her opera career with Peter Brook's production of La Tragédie de Carmen, a work which involved two months of intensive workshops with Peter Brook, learning his method of acting based on Stanislavsky, followed by three months of performing La Tragédie de Carmen in Paris, and then touring it throughout Europe for a year with his troupe. This proved to be the best form of introduction to the opera/theatre possible, and had a strong influence on her further work in operas in the years to follow.
