Noma Omran is a Syrian singer of opera and various sacred musics who graduated from Damascus Conservatory (1997) and Janacek Academy of Brno (1999-2001). She is a specialist in traditional Maqam, particularly in Aaramaic and Syriac.

Noma’s practice has focused on sacred and ancient musics across the globe, having revived the Zen ritual with Stomu Yamashta at Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto, Japan (2009) and singing the earliest known examples of music notation, the Ugaritician note (c. 1400 BC).

As an actor-singer, Noma has worked in opera and theater: she performed Violetta in Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata at the Brno National Theater (Czech Republic, 2000) and played Ishtar and composed the music for Gilgamesh under the direction of Ariane Mnouchkine at the Théâtre du Soleil (Paris, 2005). She also played Queen Zenobia in the opera Zenobia by Albinoni at the Damascus Opera House (Syria, 2008).

Omran has performed on international stages, including Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, Opéra de Lille in France, the Centre for Fine Arts (Bozar) and Opera de La Monnaie in Brussels, the Acropolis in Greece and the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music in Morocco.

She is also the musical composer of the film Silvered Water by Ossama Mohammed, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014.

Following 14 years of exile, she sang Syrian Notes and The Names of the Syrian civilians Martyrs and the Disappeared at Beit Farhi in Old Damascus in 2025.
