Krasinskaya Roya (Roza) Emmanuilovna (Riga ― 2002, Moscow) ― singer, coloratura soprano.

Roya Krasinskaya sang at the Russian Opera (Paris) and, from October 1929, sang in Riga and gave concerts in cities across Latvia (together with L. Krasinskaya). Her repertoire included works by G. Pergolesi, A. Scarlatti, L. Delibes, S. Rachmaninoff, N. R.-K., A. Shalit, S. Rozovsky, Jewish folk songs, and opera arias (including Rosina, Lakmé, Martha, and others). In 1933-34, she acted and sang at the Riga Jewish Theatre (in the plays Hello, Mother, The Model, Caucasian Love). In the late 1930s, she stopped performing on stage.
