Who is Fatima Saeed? Her first album is titled "The Light," a name befitting her illustrious career, which is renewed tonight at the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum.

Fatima Said was born in Cairo in 1991 into a family that cares about culture, sports and thought. She is the daughter of Ahmed Said, the well-known politician and vice president of Al-Ahly Club.

One of her teachers at school discovered her unique talent and introduced her to Dr. Nevin Allouba, who embraced her talent and presented her to the Egyptian Opera House, where she stood on stage for the first time in 2005, when she was only fourteen years old.

Fatima studied academic singing at the Nevin Allouba Studio at the Egyptian Opera House, before moving to the Hans Eisler School of Music in Berlin, where she honed her talent under the guidance of great professors, and in 2013 she received the Excellence Grant Award and the Start Up! Music Award.

Fatima Saeed was not content with academic success, but opened a wide door for herself in the theaters of Europe, where she was chosen to participate in an international singing competition organized annually in Germany, and won first place four times, which gave her a scholarship to Italy.

In Milan, she enrolled at the Teatro alla Scala Academy, becoming the first Egyptian soprano to sing at one of the world's most prestigious opera houses. That moment marked the major turning point in her international career, opening doors for her in theaters in Milan, Naples, Berlin, Leipzig, and eventually Cairo, Muscat, and Bonn.

Fatma Said has firmly established her presence on the global stage, winning the Grand Prize at the Julio Perotti International Opera Competition, the Veronica Dunn Award in Dublin, and the Leyla Gencer Award in Istanbul. In 2021, she also received the German Opus Classic Award for Best Young Artist, one of the most prestigious music awards in Europe.

In 2016, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi honored her during the first Youth Conference in recognition of her international achievements, and she also received the Creativity Award from the National Council for Women as the first opera singer to receive this honor.

Fatima Said’s presence was not limited to the stages only, but extended to international forums, as she represented Egypt at the United Nations Human Rights celebration in Geneva, and sang there for the right of children to education and human dignity.
