    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.
