REVIEWS
“Elinor Popham is a hugely talented soprano, with an impressive technique
– not least in the bel canto repertoire – and high musical intelligence.
She deserves to go far.”
Barry Millington Chief Music Critic, Evening Standard
'The Queen of the Night
(the amazing Elinor Popham) . . . ’
Albert George Storace, Newsbook Malta
'. . . As for (her) fiery and irate Der Holle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen, all her anger and darkeness had, in the end, to give way to the power of Love and light’
Albert George Storace, Newsbook Malta
'Ellie Popham’s lament on loneliness is especially poignant and vocally sophisticated.’
Edward Bhesania, The Stage
‘Popham’s controlled soprano is surprisingly heart-breaking considering we have known her character all of two minutes.’
Miriam Sallon, The Reviews Hub
'Two extremely engaging supporting performances came in the form of Elinor Popham as Micaela and Oliver Bowes as Escamillo. Elinor provided an excellent opening to the show, and treated the audience to a beautiful solo in the second act ...
Both were in fantastic voice and gave the piece an additional boost of vibrancy whenever they were onstage'.
Matt Bentley, NODA
'Meanwhile Ellie Popham showed a nice, wry wit ... and when it came to her set piece as the ‘Hungarian countess’ ... she really turned it on. The tone of her sound in Strauss’ parody of a csárdás gained a spectacular warmth, that beamed out ...as she held the ball guests spellbound. '
Roderick Dunnett - A View from Behind the Arras
‘…the quality of support to the voice and the attractiveness of the tone became most evident ... for Ellie Popham’s feisty Rosalinda. Her amusing dalliance with singing teacher Alfred in Act 1… confirmed the strength of her voice, but it was the Hungarian csárdás delivered in her masked disguise at the ball ... where the full beauty of her tone quality shone through.'
