Wellgunde, Das Rheingold, Grange Park 2026
“Opening the show in style, Ailish Tynan, Olivia Rose Tringham and Charlotte Bateman are as classy a shoal of Rhinemaidens as you’d find anywhere in the world.” The Guardian
“Elsewhere there are fine turns, including the three Rhinemaidens (Ailish Tynan, Olivia Rose Tringham and Charlotte Bateman), who command the prelude.” The Times
Female Chorus, Rape of Lucretia, HGO, 2026
“Olivia Rose Tringham, her soprano ringing and malleable and her consonants trenchant, was a force to be reckoned with.” Opera
“Olivia Rose Tringham was a highly dramatic and forceful Female Chorus with a bright and clear top line, who owned the space she was given. Words were sometimes spat out like bullets, heightening the dramatic momentum, though in the female quartet towards the end of Act 1, she tended to dominate her colleagues. When Tarquinius appears at the Collatinus household a short time later, still only wearing his underpants, and bangs on a metal pole to signal his arrival, Tringham’s rich and warm chest register brought a delicious sense of irony in the reference to “Prince of Rome”. Opera Today
“British soprano Olivia Rose Tringham as Female Chorus is the standout singer of the show and a future star. A graduate from the National Opera Studio, now an ENO Harewood artist, her voice is of thrilling intensity, with good pianissimi and almost too powerful for the venue.” Plays To See
In Concert
“Most surprising and successful was the partnering of Olivia Rose Tringham and Luvo Maranti in L’amico Fritz where Tringham’s formidable, dramatic soprano, paired well with Maranti’s soaring, Italianate tenor.” Art Muse London
“The Act II Trio from Weber’s Der Freischütz (in English) was a good vehicle for British soprano Olivia Rose Tringham to show off a warm voice which soars easily and suits the role of Agatha. The finale was from Mascagni’s l’Amico Fritz (it should be performed more!) Olivia Rose Tringham’s Suzel showed off her generous soprano, with a good chest register.” Plays To See
Rosalinde, Die Fledermaus, RNCM, 2022
“Standing out from the cast is Olivia Tringham in the role of Rosalinde. A woman looking for excitement in her humdrum marriage to Eisenstein, Rosalinde has set her sights on plumber Alfred. A highly assured actor and singer, Tringham certainly makes a considerable impression. I am left with the memory of Rosalinda attending the party in a scarlet ball gown as Miss Budapest.” Seen and Heard International
“Tringham is a really accomplished stage artist and comic actress, singing superbly and spot on the beat without ever seeming to have to eyeball the conductor to do so (not all young singers can manage that, especially in a piece as dependent on slick timing as this), and she raps out the dialogue like a showbiz veteran.” The Arts Desk
