Marion Hood (1 April 1854 - 14 August 1912) was an English soprano who performed in opera and musical theatre in the last decades of the 19th century. She is perhaps best remembered for creating the role of Mabel in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance in London. Born Sarah Ann Isaac in Liverpool, England, Hood was a music hall performer as a child by the age of 11 under the name Marion Isaac. She married a Mr. Hunt of the Alhambra Palace Music Hall in Kingston upon Hull, England. In 1876, she had moved to London to study singing at the Royal Academy of Music. Her husband had died by 1880. In 1880 she made her London stage debut at the Opera Comique, joining the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and creating the role of Mabel for the London production of Pirates. According to Rutland Barrington, Hood was "a perfect picture to look at and equally pleasant to listen to... tall, slight, and graceful, a typical English girl with a wealth of fair hair, which I believe was all her own. Her singing of the waltz song, 'Poor Wandering One', was quite one of the features of the first act [of Pirates]."
