Japanese-French soprano Hiromi Omura has developed her international career as “a true singing actress: each performance brings fresh nuances and feels inhabited”(Australian Book Review) with “her singing, powerful, seamless and exquisitely beautiful” (North Shore Times).

Recent career highlights include her American debuts with Portland Opera, New Orleans Opera, Utah Opera, and Pittsburgh Opera for Puccini’s Madama Butterlfy. Omura appeared in the acclaimed Matthew Ozawa production for the 24/25 seasons of the latter two companies. She also made her debut with the Puccini Festival at Torre del Lago in Italy, and the Bournemouth Symphony and Chorus in Hiroshima for Britten's War Requiem. 2022 saw her return to Tokyo for Le nozze di Figaro as Countess Almaviva at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan and Madama Butterfly as her signature role of Cio-Cio-San at New National Theatre Tokyo, both with Tokyo Nikikai Opera. 

Hiromi Omura has performed Cio-Cio-San, receiving great acclaim, around the world with companies such as the New National Theatre Tokyo, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Opera Israeli (Tel Aviv), Montreal Opera, Malaga, Cordoba, Santander, Metz (France), Lausanne Opera, Polish National Opera (Theatre Wielki), Savonlinna Opera Festival in Finland, Sydney Opera House, Melbourne State Theatre, Teatro Municipal Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Latvian National Opera, Finnish National Opera, Vanemuine Theatre in Estonia, and Puccini Festival at Torre del Lago in Italy.

She can be seen in 2 filmed productions of Madama Butterfly; the first directed by Moffatt Oxenbould and the second is a new production directed by Alex Ollé, both released by Opera Australia.
