Barbara Hannigan makes her debut as Mélisande in Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande at this year’s Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, directed by Katie Mitchell.

Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra in the Festival’s new production of the opera, which is in partnership with Teatr Wielki Opera Narodowa and the Beijing Music Festival. Performances take place on 2, 4, 7, 13 and 16 July at the Grand Théâtre de Provence.

The last time Barbara was at the Festival was in 2012 for the premiere of George Benjamin’s Written on Skin – a work which she performs in again at London’s Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in early 2017.
