Helen Jepson (1904-1997) was an American soprano, active at the Metropolitan Opera and in concert, radio and film. She became one of the notable American lyric sopranos of the mid-twentieth century.

In the Pristine catalogue she appears in Gershwin: The First Recordings, a release documenting early and composer-linked performances of Gershwin’s music.

Jepson’s singing combined lyric brightness, clear diction and theatrical charm, qualities well suited to American stage and concert repertory.

Her page is modest but justified by career stature and historical context. Jepson brings a polished American soprano line to the Gershwin shelf.
