Elise de Vere was an English actress/singer of the music-hall and opera around 1900. In 1899 she won second prize in a beauty contest at the Paris Olympia theatre, announced as 'chanteuse excentrique'. Around 1900 she was a stage diva in Europe and America. In 1903 for instance she played in the Flo Ziegfeld Broadway opera Red Feather, which ran rom November 1903 to April 1904, first at the Lyrical Theatre, then the Grand Opera House.
