Mujer Fatal
Aigul Akhmetshina (soprano), Antonio Pappano (piano)
[ Decca / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 21 August 2026
One of the hottest stars in opera, Aigul Akhmetshina, releases her second album, with Antonio Pappano at the piano.
Redefining the "femme fatale," Mujer Fatal is "a reimagining, a woman in constant transformation, complex, emotional, strong and vulnerable at the same time."
The repertoire reflects this journey, moving across languages and cultures, with works by Bizet, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Britten, Weill, Bernstein, and Gershwin, alongside the title track Mujer Fatal, a new work by composer Elena Roussanova written especially for Akhmetshina and recorded here for the first time.
