Introduction
Askonas Holt are delighted to present a European tour of Fatma Said's new album, released on Warner Classics in Spring 2025. Following the release of her previous albums, Kaleidoscope and El Nour, Egyptian-soprano Fatma Said is rapidly solidifying her star status on the opera and recital scene. As Artist in Residence at the Konzerthaus Berlin and a frequent face on stages across the world, including the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, and a debut performance at Carnegie Hall in her 22/23 season.
With a number of international awards and competition wins under her belt, including awards from the BBC, Gramophone and Opus Klassik for her critically-acclaimed 2020 album El Nour, Fatma has been praised as ‘captivating’ and with an ‘especially beautiful operatic voice’.
For this performance, Fatma has curated a special programme that reflects her own heritage and expansive and versatile music styles. The gifted musician shows she is equally at home with Classical song as she is with jazz, tango, and folk music, alongside a talented ensemble of versatile instrumentalists.
