Ellinor Olmarken is a coloratura soprano who graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Stockholm University of the Arts in the spring of 2025. She is now continuing her studies there in advanced role interpretation while also being accepted to the ONO Program (Operastudio Norrlandsoperan) for 2025/2026, marking the next step in her artistic development.

Alongside her operatic work today, she is an active voiceover artist and studio singer, contributing to fusion opera projects and engaging concert audiences with her dynamic performances. She is also frequently active in sacred music contexts, with repertoire including Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater and Mozart’s Exultate Jubilate. In 2025, she reprised the role of the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute at Elghammar Castle.

In the fall of 2024, Ellinor completed a season at Folkoperan in Stockholm, performing 40 shows as a fish cleaner in the women’s soloist choir for Herr Arnes Penningar. In the summer of 2024, she portrayed the First Lady and returned as the Queen of the Night in Strömstadoperan’s The Magic Flute – a role she had first performed with Suitcase Opera in Umeå in 2022.

In her final production before graduation, she took on Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos and Juliette in Romeo and Juliette demonstrating both vocal agility and dramatic nuance.

During her earlier studies at the Stockholm Opera Studio, she performed Ilia (Idomeneo), Amina (The Sleepwalker), and Rosina (The Barber of Seville), and returned as a guest to sing Miss Jessel (The Turn of the Screw). Her growing repertoire also included Lucia (Lucia di Lammermoor), Zerbinetta (Ariadne auf Naxos), and Donna Anna (Don Giovanni).

She has a background in acting with training from Calle Flygare Theatre School and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, focusing on Meisner and Chekhov techniques, and has appeared in several short films. Her early musical background includes jazz and vocal performance studies at Rytmus Music Gymnasium and choir work at Adolf Fredrik’s Music School, and during her elementary school years she performed in the children’s chorus at the Royal Swedish Opera.

Ellinor has been awarded local scholarships from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music as well as the Gustaf Tobison Family Scholarship Fund.
