New album by Egyptian soprano

Egyptian soprano Fatma Saïd has released a new album that blends opera, French songs, and traditional Arabic melodies, accompanied by the Parisian Frivolités orchestra. The album highlights her versatility in performing across languages and musical styles.

Film discovery in 2025

A spectacular film titled Grand concert des pyramides was discovered in late 2025 and aired on France 4. It remained available until December 11 on the francetv.fr website.

Performance at the pyramids

In the film, Saïd, wearing a blue Majorelle dress, performed with conductor Sammy El Ghadab and the Parisian Frivolités orchestra in front of the pyramids of Giza. The performance took place without an audience.

Album's auditory focus

The album is described as entirely focused on the ear, with no loss in the transition from the film's mode of filming. It aims to capture the same quality and atmosphere as the visual performance.

Saïd's artistic vision

Saïd, noted for her ravishing voice and strong personality as a globetrotting and multilingual musician, designed this album as an autoportrait. It reflects her personal journey and artistic identity.
