Welsh soprano Elen Lloyd Roberts studied for a music degree at Durham University before completing an MA in Vocal Performance at the Royal Academy of Music. Her operatic roles include Susanna Le nozze di Figaro, Despina Così fan tutte, Zerlina Don Giovanni, Gretel Hänsel und Gretel, Marzelline Fidelio, Galatea Acis and Galatea, and Drusilla L’Incoronazione di Poppea. Last summer, Elen joined Utopia Choir under the baton of Teodor Currenztis to perform Mozart’s C minor mass and Purcell’s The Indian Queen at the Salzburger Festspiele. She was recently one of the Witches in Macbeth for MWO.
Elen was a finalist in the W. Towyn Roberts Scholarship Prize at the 2018 National Eisteddfod and has been a finalist in the MOCSA and Dunraven Young Welsh Singer of the Year competitions.
Only a few months ago we thought Mid Wales Opera was finished. Now, thanks to a funding lifeline from Powys County Council, we are within touching distance of having a sustainable plan to keep on producing live and local opera across Wales for at least three years.
