ELINOR POPHAM SOPRANO
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
‘As Geraldine, 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
“A beautiful voice with warmth and musicality
. . . strongly communicative . . .
imaginative, skilful vocal colouring & text engagement"
Linnhe Robertson ~ Isabel Jay Prize
‘…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.'
Roderick Dunnett, Seen and Heard International
'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. '
