About the Programme

Inspired by the times we live in, soprano Christina Thé has written tales of panic buying, fear and irrational behaviour in a time of Coronavirus. "Locked-up" at home for 56 days, she wrote these pieces to cheer up her friends and business associates; and to counter all the gloom and doom that is in the news. Though the incidents in Diary of a Former Covidiot are all based on real incidents that have happened, the characters have been slightly exaggerated, as this is after all, a book of humour.

Join us online as we discuss the book with the author!

About the Author

Christina Thé wears many hats. She is an amiable observer of people who has experienced life in several continents. As a soprano she trained at London’s Royal Academy of Music and has enjoyed singing at the Carnegie Hall in New York. Today, she regularly appears in Singapore’s opera scene and writes humorous realistic fiction while leading life as a modern single mother.
