Elizabeth Roberts studied music at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, winning the David Barlow Memorial Award, before going on to English National Opera's young artist course 'The Knack'.  She is a member of the Co-Opera Co project and is participating in their training programme. She also studies with Colin Baldy, Mary Plazas, Emanuela Ferrari, and with Nicoletta Conti in Bologna.  

Elizabeth's oratorio repertoire spans a wide and varied range, from Monteverdi's Vespers to Tippett's A Child of Our Time.  Working with conductors such as Paul McCreesh, Jonathan Willcocks and Adrian Partington, she has performed in many of the great venues and festivals throughout the UK, including St. John's Smith Square (Mozart Requiem), Durham Cathedral (Haydn Maria Theresa Mass, Mozart Regina Coeli K108), Truro Cathedral (Haydn Stabat Mater), Leicester Cathedral (Mendelssohn Elijah), Sherborne Abbey (1st sop Mozart Mass in C Minor) and Hexham Abbey (Haydn Nelson Mass).  She has twice performed Mahler's Fourth Symphony under Levon Parikian, on the second occasion partnering it with Barber's Knoxville Summer of 1915. 

Outside the UK, concert performances have taken her to All Saints English Church in Rome for Bach's Johannes Passion, Mozart's Coronation Mass and Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem; and to Darmstadt for Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony with the Konzertchor Darmstadt and Philharmonie Südwestfalen under Wolfgang Seeliger.

She made her Italian stage debut in 2006 as Lauretta (Gianni Schicchi), directed by Vernon Mound and conducted by Nicoletta Conti at the Teatro di Monteleone di Spoleto and touring Umbria. Other operatic roles include Mimì (La bohème) for Opus One Opera, conducted by Fraser Goulding; Contessa (Le nozze di Figaro), Fiordiligi (Così fan tutte), Musetta (La bohème) and The Plaintiff (Trial by Jury); for Hand Made Opera; Adina (L'Elisir d'amore); Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro); Zerlina (Don Giovanni), conducted by Alistair Dawes; Queen of the Gypsies (The Bohemian Girl); and Clorinda (La Cenerentola). 

Elizabeth is also an accomplished recitalist and has taken part in several recital series in London and throughout the UK, partnered by pianists Christopher Glynn and Christopher Gould, performing repertoire such as Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben, Strauss's Vier letzte Lieder, and works by Britten, Ravel, Debussy, Mahler and Strauss with Christopher Gould at the 2009 Maldon Festival of Arts.  She is honoured to be one of the seven singers selected to take part in Malcolm Martineau's intensive song course at Crear, Scotland, in January 2010.
