Voices from the Press

“Her silvery soprano was well suited to the role, and her interpretation managed to convey both the sensual follower of Dionysus and the loving, faithful wife.” – King Roger/Royal Swedish Opera

Laura Servidei/Bachtrack 21 March 2019

“Elin Rombo was a successful Sophie, her soprano featured beautiful filati and a solid top register. Her interpretation of the young, innocent girl was believable and enjoyable.” – Der Rosenkavalier/Royal Swedish Operan

Laura Servidei/Bachtrack 21 March 2019

“Elin Rombo, who has won triumphs in a number of important roles of late, is a marvellous Hanna Glawari,” - The Merry Widow/Royal Swedish Opera

Göran Forsling/Seen and Heard International - February 2 2017

"... the Swedish soprano Elin Rombo was clear and passionate, with a focus that added authority to her intimate voice." - Soloist/the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra/Carnegie Hall 2013

New York Times - February 18, 2013

Kay Kempin/Bachtrack - February 18 2013
