SOPRANO
French AMerican Soprano…
Sandra Hamaoui has been praised for her “homogenous and flexible voice of fine velvet” in addition to her “musicality and finesse of expression”. Described as “heartfelt” and “prodigious”, her true talent lies not just in her effortless vocal technique and musicality, but also in her ability to fully captivate the audience.
In 2024/25, Ms. Hamaoui makes several notable debuts: she sings with Maestro Gustavo Dudamel at Palau de la Musica for Her Majesty, Queen Sofia of Spain; she sings the lead soprano in Carmina Burana with Maestro Kent Nagano at the podium; she reprises the role of Leïla in Les Pêcheurs de Perles in concert with Musical Guest; and finally, Ms. Hamaoui brings her acclaimed interpretation of Constance in Robert Carsen’s Les Dialogues des Carmélites at Palau Les Arts Valencia. Finally, she returns to Théâtre des Champs Elysées for Werther.
