In recent years, her artistry has extended to Eufrates in Va Pensiero (World Opera Lab), Maria in After the Flood (Opera Spanga), and Roodkapje in Het Meisje, de Jager en de Wolf (DNO and LOD). She has also been featured in a wealth of orchestral concerts and mixed media creations, visually breathtaking worlds where music and image merge into living art. Her presence has reached beyond the stage through appearances on television programs such as Podium Witteman, Een Nieuwe Lente, etc. as well as radio broadcasts for NPO Klassiek with Dieuwertje Blok and Ab Nieuwdorp, and RTBF.
As a finalist in Aria (Omroep Max) and the Grachtenfestival, and a nominee for the Grachtenfestivalprijs, Sabra is celebrated for her magnetic stage presence, her kaleidoscopic repertoire, and her deep commitment to productions where opera enters into dialogue with theatre and the musical traditions of the world.
About
Sabra Bahri Khatri is a Belgian soprano whose luminous, enveloping voice fuses the warmth of velvet with a rare flexibility and an expressive palette of infinite shades. Her agile range and refined phrasing allow her to move effortlessly from glittering, high-flying coloratura to the most ardent lyrical lines, each note infused with a magnetic emotional truth that holds audiences spellbound.
Since graduating in 2022 with a Master’s degree summa cum laude vocal performance, she has graced the stages of prestigious houses including Dutch National Opera, LOD, Opera Spanga, Holland Opera, Opera Forward, and World Opera Lab.
In recent months, she has embodied a rich spectrum of leading roles: Hansje in Koekjes (Annet Schaap’s adaptation of Hansel and Gretel), Roodkapje in Roodhapje (Holland Opera), Hornet in Anansi (Dutch National Opera), and The Birdlady in an intercultural World Opera Lab production weaving together music from Indonesia, Iraq, and Nigeria into a vibrant sonic tapestry.
Her repertoire ranges from the elegance of baroque to the daring of contemporary creations, embracing roles such as Violetta (La Traviata) and Sophie (Hamlet), while holding a special place in her heart for the French Impressionist song repertoire. Guided by an unquenchable artistic curiosity, she approaches every role as an intimate encounter between music, poetry, and the human soul, transforming each performance into a luminous and unforgettable experience
