Elen Lloyd Roberts, soprano

Originally from the countryside of north west Wales, soprano Elen Lloyd Roberts is now
based in London. After studying for a degree in Music at Durham University, she went on to complete a Master’s degree in Vocal Performance at the Royal Academy of Music, London.

She enjoys a varied freelance career as a soloist and ensemble singer and is just as at home on the operatic stage as she is on the concert platform. Her operatic roles include Susanna Le nozze di Figaro, Despina Così fan tutte, Zerlina Don Giovanni, Marzelline Fidelio, Gretel Hänsel und Gretel, and Drusilla L’incoronazione di Poppea. In 2022, she premiered the role of Y Ffŵl (The Jester) in Mared Emlyn’s new Welsh opera for children, Cyfrinach y Brenin (‘The King’s Secret’), with OPRA Cymru. She joined Mid Wales Opera in the Spring of 2024 for their five-star production of Verdi’s Macbeth, in which she sang the role of a Witch.
In 2023, Elen joined the newly-formed Utopia Choir and Orchestra under the baton of Teodor
Currentzis to perform Mozart’s Mass in C Minor and Peter Sellars’ production of Purcell’s The Indian Queen at the Salzburger Festspiele. She looks forward to singing with Utopia again in early 2025, this time in Rameau’s opera Castor et Pollux at the Opera Garnier, Paris, again under Currentzis’ and Sellar’s direction.

With a passion for singing Baroque music, Elen is delighted to have been selected as the soprano soloist for the 2025 Salvat Beca Bach Grant.
