Sarah Cherlin is so dramatic, quietly technical, & at the same time so mischievous and witty that my long-standing fantasy that some mixture of Kate Bush, Lloyd-Webber, and a goblin would write the perfect Broadway show may actually be coming true. This is fabulous songwriting!

ARTIST BIO
Sarah Cherlin
Swept up in the spectacle & drama she witnessed during Nabucco, (or was it Traviata?) when in primary school, NSW based singer songwriter Sarah Cherlin dove into the world of classical music, which laid the foundation for her current folk-come-popera sound.
Influenced by the likes of Kate Miller-Heidke, Anaïs Mitchell, Regina Spektor, Paul Dempsey and Say Anything, Cherlin's debut EP Small Machines was released in 2020. She is currently collaborating with partner James Seymour on a second EP and producing library music under the name Vital Sine, for labels Sound Manipulations Inc., Abacusync, and APM.
Operatic roles include Blanche (Dialogues des Carmélites), Miles (Turn of the Screw), Zerlina (Don Giovanni), Cendrillon (Cendrillon), Suor Dolcina (Suor Angelica), First Witch & Spirit (Dido and Aeneas), and Barbarina (Le Nozze di Figaro). Musical theatre credits include Beth (Little Women) and Marian Paroo (The Music Man).
Cherlin has sung at home and abroad as a soloist, highlights include Slam Messiah at Parramatta Riverside with River City Voices, and Tango e non Solo with Opera in Celle, in Forte Sangallo, Nettuno (Italy).
In 2024 she founded female lead opera company Gente, gente! Productions, aiming to create opportunities for emerging and mid career women artists, and bring lesser performed works that centre the female voice and stories into the spotlight.

Sarah Cherlin is basically a peacock,
or whatever the female version of that is.
