Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Canti di vita e d'amore: Djamila Boupacha

An enticing Barbican programme from Barbara Hannigan, seeking light out of darkness in pieces spanning three different centuries, and an electrifying vocal performance by mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron. 

Hannigan plays with expectations, opening with a single spotlight after a complete stage blackout to dramatic effect, and I am pretty sure she was rocking slippers on stage. 

Un programme harmonieux, couronné d’une œuvre exaltante, un enchaînement sensible, une mise en scène efficace, des prestations investies : l'Orchestre symphonique de Montréal a réservé à son public un concert mémorable.
