In this moving live performance, Fatma Said sings “Somewhere” from West Side Story, Leonard Bernstein’s timeless plea for hope and reconciliation. The excerpt comes from the ZDF Festkonzert at the Semperoper Dresden, with the Staatskapelle Dresden conducted by Karina Canellakis.
Written as the emotional core of West Side Story, “Somewhere” suspends the surrounding conflict in favour of a quiet, almost prayer-like vision of belonging. Said’s reading leans into intimacy rather than drama, shaping the line with warmth and clarity. Jonah Hoskins appears on stage alongside Said, framing the performance as a concert moment within the broader Festkonzert setting.
