' A beautiful voice with warmth and musicality. Engaging, honest performing'
Linnhe Robertson, Isabel Jay Prize 2020

About
Elinor Popham, a London-born Soprano, is a highly versatile young singer with a natural sensitivity and musicality which flows through her work, both in opera and in concert.
Having read English Literature at Warwick University, Elinor currently studies at the Royal Academy of Music with Nuccia Focile and Kate Paterson, where she was named joint winner of the Isabel Jay Opera Prize in her first term. In scenes, she has sung the roles of Violetta La Traviata and Mme Herz Der Shauspieldirektor and is generously supported by the John Clemence Trust.
Before her Masters, Elinor was a Choral Scholar at Sloane Square Choral Society and her concert experience includes Fauré Requiem (SSCS), Tippett's Child of our Time and the world premier of new works by conductor/composer, Paul McGrath, both in the UK and in Italy. Previous roles include Geraldine A Hand of Bridge (Grimebourne), Rosalinda Die Fledermaus and the Countess The Marriage of Figaro (Opera Warwick).
She was awarded the John Miller Young Recitalist and Opera Unmasked Prize, named runner-up in the inaugural Isobel Buchanan Award, and was one of the youngest semi-finalists of the 2019 National Mozart Competition....
