Stephen Storace

Stephen John Seymour Storace (4 April 1762 – 19 March 1796)^[1] was an English composer of the Classical era, known primarily for his operas. His sister was the famous opera singer Nancy Storace.

He was born in London in the Parish of St Marylebone to an English mother and Italian father. Relatively little is known through direct records of his life, and most details are known second-hand through the memoirs of his contemporaries Michael Kelly, the actor John Bannister, and the oboist William Thomas Parke.
