Temperance Jones is from Birmingham, Alabama.

At an early age, Temperance learned to appreciate fine arts from her mother, an artist and arts educator. This foundation shaped Temperance as a singer, actor, educator, and cultural contributor, and continues to influence her ethos as an artist today.

Temperance received her Bachelor of Arts in Music from Belhaven University in Jackson, MS. She is the Young Artist and Outreach Coordinator for Opera Mississippi and has showcased her talent as a performer locally (Red Mountain Theatre, Birmingham Children's Theatre & Birmingham Music Club), nationally (Opera Mississippi, Virginia Repertory Theatre, Arizona Broadway Theatre, RWS Entertainment Group, Prather Productions...), and internationally (International Performing Arts Institute in Kiefersfelden & Hamburg, Germany).

From a mother's inspiration, to performing internationally, Temperance honors the legacies that came before her and looks forward to the contributions she still has yet to make! "I'm always so grateful to perform in my hometown with Opera Birmingham!"
