Multi-award-winning opera star Fatma Said performs French and Arabic classical songs in London's eclectic new live music venue, Lafayette.
Fatma's show will draw on material from her genre-defying albums Kaleidoscope and El Nour, with a programme focusing on French, Arabic, and American songs by composers such as Fauré, Poulenc, Legrand, Gershwin, and Rahbani.
The Egyptian soprano blazed onto the classical scene with her multi-award-winning debut on Warner Classics, El Nour, honoured with two awards apiece from Gramophone and BBC Music Magazine in 2021.
Her latest release, Kaleidoscope, boasts a cross-cultural and genre-defying programme and showcases Said’s passion for dance. The album features works from opera, operetta, film and pop, sung in no less than six languages - French, German, English, Spanish, Italian and Arabic.
