Amina recently “brought the Opera Bastille to their knees thanks to her unparalleled portrayal of the title- role” in Vincent Huguet’s new production of Massenet’s Manon (Forum Opera). Amina previously debuted this role to great critical acclaim at the Opéra National de Bordeaux. Other notable appearances in recent seasons have included her debut at the Grand-Théâtre de Genève as Fatime Les Indes galantes in a new production by Lydia Steier and a return to the San Francisco Opera for the title-role in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette. In future seasons, Amina will enjoy a series of house debuts at the Théâtre des Champs Élysées, Opéra de Limoges, Opéra National du Rhin and the Gran Teatre del Liceu, as well as returns to the Opéra National de Paris, San Francisco Opera and Opéra National de Bordeaux. Equally as dazzling on the concert stage, Amina’s appearances include Fauré’s Requiem, Rossini’s Petite messe solennelle, Mahler’s Symphony no. 4 and a gala concert at the Opéra National de Bordeaux. Amina was born in Egypt and raised in New Zealand, and she holds a Bachelor of Music from the University of Canterbury New Zealand, a Masters from the Wales International Academy of Voice and a post-graduate diploma from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. After completing her studies, Amina participated in the Merola Opera Program, subsequently becoming an Adler Fellow at the San Francisco Opera.
