Note (4 Dec 2025): The concert has been postponed
Scheduled for 5 December, the concert marks Said’s return to the GEM just weeks after its opening.
Said was, in fact, the first Egyptian singer to perform at this renowned venue, long before its official inauguration. Her 2022 concert also featured the United Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Nader Abbassi.
The upcoming performance also follows Said and Abbassi’s recent appearance at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane on 23 November, in a concert dedicated to the music of Mohamed Abdel-Wahab.
Soprano Fatma Said
Fatma Said is one of Egypt’s brightest stars in classical music, with a portfolio that includes significant accomplishments.
She was the first Egyptian singer to be accepted to La Scala Academy in Milan and went on to perform there in Mozart’s Magic Flute.
Said was also one of six musicians selected by BBC Radio 3 to take part in its New Generation Artist Scheme from 2016 to 2018.
BBC Music Magazine named Fatma Said the Newcomer of the Year as part of its 16th Annual Awards.
She also won the Vocal Award for her debut album Al-Nour, which was released by Warner Classics and featured pianist Malcolm Martineau.
Said is also an ambassador for Opera for Peace and is supported by the stART academy of Bayer Kultur.
