Thank you Andrew Clark of @operamagazine for the mention in review for @ScottishOpera’s The Magic Flute! “... but the show was very nearly stolen by Sofia Troncoso’s Papagena.” To be fair I do think the costume helped 👵🥚😂! [Photo by James Glossop]

"...or cutting through some very dense walls of sound created by the strings. Best of all her French was full of character, savouring the subtle shades of those back-of-the-throat vowels..." Brisbane Live Reviews

"It was a captivating performance, vocally well up to the gymnastics of Britten's mercurial music. The voice itself is certainly attractive, basically sweet but with some darker gleams to it, and Troncoso had no trouble filling the two-thousand seat QPAC Concert Hall..."
"Troncoso was sleek, elegant, fiery and intense in a striking black gown and elbow length gloves and she sang with great fervour, deeply engaged, showcasing her assured and graceful soprano...Troncoso erupted into this prismatic, multi-layered song cycle." https://t.co/AmTOWsK945

As a @swap_ra member, today’s rehearsal was dreamy. Cast member completely stuck for childcare. So @operahollandpk ,being the exemplary company that it is, told him to bring baby Bonnie along.She was there for about 2 hrs of the reh, and behaved beautifully. #parentsinperformance
@Brendanojoy@camerataQCO This program was absolute magic! Collaborating with you and Camerata is always artistically rewarding. This is why we do what we do! Thank you Brendan ❤️
“Soprano Sofia Troncoso was a perfect choice to deliver this cycle, which she did with great aplomb and a fine attention to detail…She sang with both passion and an intense commitment, her strong and beautiful soprano solid throughout the range and offering excellent top notes.”
Soprano Sofia Troncoso joined @camerataQCO in an "intelligently realised concert, well-considered and delivered with excellent ensemble playing," writes Suzannah Conway. https://t.co/eAPxframK1
“Troncoso’s embodiment of the short poetic pieces was sweeping and wild in places, more nuanced in others, but always rich and evocative, reflecting Rimbaud’s tormented life and work…It was a fitting end to a magnificent and uplifting evening of music and song.”
“A magnificent and uplifting evening of music and song.” Thank you Amy Hyslop for @classik_on on our Illuminations concert @QPAC on Thursday! Read the full review →

“Troncoso was superb, delivering a wide emotional range, opening on Fanfare with high drama and showing a multitude of expressive depths throughout the song cycle...”
