Susan Jackson comes from a musical family, and her mother, herself a singer. lost no opportunity of urging her daughter to have singing lessons at the Royal Manchester College of Music. Susan trained there for four years, combining her singing with piano lessons, in which she has received her 'teacher's degree. She was very quickly involved in the College theatrical and operatic productions, and also worked with the Manchester Stage Society, in repertory, in pantomime, and with the New Opera Company.
When she left Manchester she came down to London to study for three years at the London Opera Centre, where she won the Leverhulme and Arts Council scholarships. She has sung in the Cheltenham Festival, at Glyndebourne, and on radio and television, and came to the Opera Company as a principal soprano in 1967 to sing the parts of Patience, Phyllis, Rose Maybud, and Gianetta. She left the company in 1969.
