Soprano Eliza Boom is known for her luminous full lyric soprano voice with noted successes this season as Fiordiligi (Cosi fan Tutte), as Vitella (Clemenza di Tito) as well as in Strauss’s Four Last Songs.

She trained at the National Opera Studio London and the Royal Northern College of Music following her undergraduate studies in her home nation, New Zealand.  She garnered awards at several international competitions including the Stanisław Moniuszko Vocal Competition (2022) and the Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge Bel Canto Award (2019).  

In 2020 she was invited to join the Bayerische Staatsoper Opera Studio in Munich where she sang roles such as Woglinde (Das Rheingold), Erste Dame (Die Zauberflöte), High Priestess (Aïda) and Berta (Il Barbiere di Siviglia).

This led to invitations as a guest artist throughout Europe.  In the previous two seasons Eliza made debuts at Stuttgart Staatsoper as Gretel (Hansel und Gretel), Pat Nixon (Nixon in China), Woglinde (Das Rheingold and Götterdämmerung); at The Royal Danish Opera with Vitellia (La Clemenza di Tito); at Staatsoper Hannover as Pat Nixon; at the Staatstheater Karlsruhe to sing Fiordiligi (Cosi Fan Tutte), as well as returning to the Bayerische Staatsoper as a guest artist.

Eliza’s repertoire also includes Donna Anna (Don Giovanni, Clonter Opera), Micäela (Carmen, cover, Bayerische Staatsoper), Nella (Gianni Schicchi, RNCM), the title role of Suor Angelica (cover, RNCM), Noémie (Cendrillon, RNCM), Contessa (Le Nozze di Figaro, University of Waikato). 

Eliza regularly performs concerts with orchestras such as the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra (Vier Letze Lieder), Badische Staatskapelle (Mahler 2. Sinfonie), New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Nottingham Philharmonic Orchestra and Suffolk Philhamonic Orchestra. In 2022 she sang the world premiere of Buch der Körper by V.
