Christine Buras

Soprano Christine Buras has been praised for her rich lyrical timbre, dynamic stage presence, and fearless approach to 20th and 21st century repertoire. Equally at home on operatic and concert stages, Christine’s repertoire spans from Baroque chamber music, to the operas of Verdi and Strauss, to contemporary performance art. Having grown up in Washington, DC, she has been based in London, UK since 2013, where she enjoys a busy career as an emerging artist. This season Christine makes her debut with Merry Opera in their innovative and immersive fully-staged production of Handel’s Messiah, directed by John Ramster. She revisits one of her favourite Handel roles, the title role in Theodora, in concert with the Hampstead Collective. She looks forward to returning to Regent’s Opera this summer
