John Wakefield was a British tenor, active in opera and concert repertory during the post-war period. He was associated with English opera and British repertory.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Delius’s A Village Romeo and Juliet under Meredith Davies, with Sadler’s Wells forces.

Wakefield’s singing belonged to the British lyric-tenor tradition, where text, line and natural dramatic delivery are central.

His page is justified by secure identity and repertory context. Wakefield gives the Delius shelf a clear English tenor thread.
