My Journey
​
“Every person is waiting, expectantly, listening. As the orchestra begins and my first note floats out to the audience, I know this is where I should be and nothing else compares to this amazing and powerful feeling of sharing my gift with others.”

Every singer needs good training
Saira’s formal training began at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where she was awarded a Masters in Opera with High Distinction and received various scholarships including the Henderson, Helpmann and Conservatorium Association Scholarships. She was also awarded the audience favourite award for the International Meistersinger Competition in Graz, Austria and continues her training with the world class opera singer, Yvonne Kenny in London.
The opera stage is set
Saira has performed with Opera Australia, Pacific Opera, Victorian Opera and Sydney Symphony Orchestra in Australia.
