Christine Ibrahim in Sydney

From the creator of the award-winning Wonderfully Terrible Things, which held a celebrated residency at 5 Eliza in Newtown, comes a powerful evening of music, storytelling and extraordinary vocals.

Join award-winning vocalist, pianist and producer Christine Ibrahim for an intimate performance tracing one artist's lifelong love affair with music—from the opera that shaped her craft to the original songs through which she found her own voice.

From performing the Habanera as a finalist on Italy's Tu Si Que Vales to discovering a Mel Tormé album that completely transformed the direction of her career, Christine shares the defining moments that shaped her artistic journey.

A recipient of the prestigious Thomas Berry Classical Vocal Scholarship, Christine went on to study Contemporary Vocal Performance, building an international career as a singer, pianist, entertainer, aerialist and producer. Along the way, she realised the music she had been writing since childhood belonged alongside the opera and classical repertoire that first inspired her.

Through breathtaking vocals, live piano, humour and deeply personal storytelling, Christine weaves together timeless opera, beloved standards, contemporary favourites and her own original compositions into one unforgettable evening.

Whether you discovered Christine through the award-winning Wonderfully Terrible Things or are experiencing her work for the first time, From Opera to Originals is an invitation behind the curtain to discover the music, stories and defining moments that transformed a classically trained singer into an award-winning songwriter, producer and performer.
