Sandra Hamaoui has captivated audiences with her glittering, agile soprano and magnetic stage presence in recent significant debuts as Sœur Constance in Robert Carsen’s iconic production of Dialogues des Carmélites for Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía conducted by Riccardo Minasi, as Sophie in Christoph Loy’s new production of Werther at Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, and as Leïla in Les Pêcheurs de Perles at Théâtre des Champs-Élysées conducted by Lorenzo Passerini.  She found further critical acclaim last season for her performance in Orff’s Trionfi, staged by Calixto Bieito for Staatsoper Hamburg under Kent Nagano and as Juliette in Roméo et Juliette with Orchestre de chambre de Genève under Marc Leroy-Calatayud.

She opened the 2025/2026 season by jumping in to perform excerpts from Manon at the season-opening OpernAir concert of the Wiener Staatsoper, showcasing her poised artistry in a high-profile setting. 

The season continues with appearances as Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro) for Opernhaus Zürich under Pierre Dumoussaud, Adina (L’elisir d’amore) for Opera Naples, conducted by Ramón Tebar, as well as Musetta in concert performances of La bohème under Marco Armiliato at the Gstaad Menuhin Festival and Festspielhaus Baden-Baden. Sandra also makes her role debut as Violetta (La traviata) for Teatro Padilla de Almería, as well as returning to the role of Juliette in semi-staged performances with CulturArte de Puerto Rico.
