About Amina

Soprano Amina Edris has been hailed as a “revelation” (Forum Opera) and praised for her “lustrous” tone (Opera News). 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 Alice in the acclaimed recording of Meyerbeer’s Robert le Diable.

Amina is based in Paris, France

    • As Berthe, Amina Edris sang with beguiling sensitivity, unfailing accuracy and a tone of dark steeliness, bringing resoluteness and emotional depth to a character that can feel underwritten.

    • Amina Edris as Berte, Jean’s fiance and later a terrorist, commands her solos and duets, giving us a lovely performance. Bass Nate Mattingly of the chorus is noteworthy in his solo.

    • Berthe, as voiced by Amina Edris, matched her trills, vibrato and ornamentation perfectly in their final duet. Edris’s instrument focused like a pinspot, and she could also act.
