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 debuted as Medoro in a new adaptation of Handel’s Orlando with Stockholm Royal Opera at Confidencen.
