Was a celebrated English singer and actress and the sister of the composer Thomas Arne. Although she began her career as a soprano, her voice lowered in the early part of her career to that of a true contralto. She was universally admired for her ability to move her audiences emotionally both as an actress and vocalist. Possessing a sweet, expressive, and agile singing voice with a wide vocal range, Cibber was an immensely popular singer, even if at times her voice was criticized for a lack of polished technique.

Cibber was particularly admired by Handel, who wrote numerous parts especially for her including the contralto arias in his oratorio Messiah, the role of Micah in Samson, the role of Lichas in Hercules and the role of David in Saul among others.
