Award-winning First Nations soprano, Nina Korbe, is an accomplished young performer quickly establishing herself in the opera industry as a rising talent. Nina has been praised for her creamy tone, brilliant top notes and sensitive performances, which continue to delight audiences. This year Nina will be making her professional debut with Opera Australia and Victorian Opera, and maintains an exciting concert program with Australia's leading ensembles.

​

In 2016, Nina was selected for one of four highly contested places in the Opera Australia Regional Scholarship Programme. Upon receiving the Scholarship she spent an intensive week of training with Opera Australia’s creatives and experts in language and performance. This experience was catalytic in her love of the operatic art form and aided in solidifying her ambitions as a performer in this field.  At the age of fifteen, she began performing with Opera Queensland as part of their chorus and has since amassed credits for their productions of La Bohème (2014), Die Fledermaus (2015), Il Barbiere de Siviglia (2016), Peter Grimes (2018) and Verdi's Requiem (2019). Nina was invited by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in 2018 to perform in the vocal sextet for Planet Earth II: Live in Concert conducted by Vanessa Scammell.
