Mezzo-soprano Mathilda Bryngelsson was born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden. Growing up, she played the flute, but in her early 20s, she turned her efforts toward singing opera. 

Mathilda received her bachelor's degree in Opera Performance from the University College of Opera in Stockholm in 2019. The same year she appeared as Medoro in a new adaptation of Handel's Orlando with Stockholm Royal Opera at Confidencen in Stockholm.

Between 2020 and 2022, Mathilda was a young artist at Malmö Opera Academy: a combined master’s program/opera studio at Malmö Academy of Music and Malmö Opera.  In the season 21/22, she could be seen as La Suora Zelatrice (Suor Angelica) on Malmö Opera’s main stage, while also performing multiple roles in Malmö Opera’s tour productions Det går an and Det stora oväsendet. In December 2021 she also visited Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg to sing the role of Mutter (Hänsel und Gretel).

During 23/24 Mathilda debuted the roles of Dido (Dido & Aeneas) at Opera på Österbybruk, Una Converse (Suor Angelica) at Copenhagen Opera Festival, and Fekluša (Káťa Kabanová) at Bergen National Opera. She also covered the role of the Reindeer (Flurry Tales) at Malmö Opera.

Some of Mathilda’s other performed roles include Cherubino and Marcellina (Le nozze di Figaro), Mercedes (Carmen), La Frugola (Il tabarro), La Ciesca (Gianni Schicchi) and Konchakovna (Prince Igor).  

Next season (24/25), Mathilda will be returning to Malmö Opera in the role of Herodias’ Page (Salome), but before that, she can be seen as Clotilde in Opera på Skäret’s 2024 production of Norma.

Apart from the operatic repertoire, Mathilda has an extensive experience as an oratorio soloist, having performed a majority of the standard repertoire, throughout the south of Sweden.

Mathilda has been the recipient of many notable scholarships and awards. A selection of these includes The Swedish Royal Academy of Music’s national scholarships every year between 2019-2022, the first prize in the competition OVIS-Rösten 2021, a Working Grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee 2023, the highly prestigious Giresta Scholarship from Anders Wall’s Foundation 2022, and the 3^rd prize in the Willhelm Stenhammar International Singing Competition 2024.
