Fresh from highly acclaimed performances as Marguerite in Gounod’s Faust at Paris Opera and as Juliette in Roméo et Juliette at Los Angeles Opera, Amina Edris makes her house debut next month at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, as Musetta in Puccini’s La bohème, conducted by Speranza Scappucci. 

Praised for her ​“lustrous tone” (Opera News) and ​“beguiling sensitivity” (New York Times), Amina Edris features on two highly successful recent releases: as Alice in Meyerbeer’s Robert le diable, conducted by Marc Minkowski and as Massenet’s Ariane with Bayerischer Rundfunk and conductor Laurent Campellone (Bru Zane). Born in Egypt and raised in New Zealand, she has blended her cultural background to create her own unique artistic identity, performing a variety of roles ranging from baroque music to world premieres with a focus on French repertoire. Recent career highlights include Manon and Juliette at the Opéra national de Paris, Cleopatra in the world premiere of John Adams’ Antony and Cleopatra at San Francisco Opera, and Liù at Teatro San Carlo.

Future projects include her debut at the Metropolitan Opera, Opéra de Lyon and Opéra Comique as well as returns to Opéra national de Paris, San Francisco Opera and to Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.
