Barbara Hannigan returns to Piazza Duomo for the Festival's most anticipated and well-attended event-the Final Concert-heading the Orchestra ofAccademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, in residence to Spoleto for the fourth year.

‍

Whether it's shouts, pops, whispers, clusters of consonants or soft melodies, Barbara Hannigan's pyrotechnic voice is always up to the task. Her virtuosity has made her the muse of the greatest contemporary composers, from John Zorn to Salvatore Sciarrino. A soprano and conductor, she creates one-of-a-kind performances, dissolving the boundary between the baton from which a musical phrase springs and the voice that intones it. Festival audiences remember her on the stage of Piazza Duomo, when in 2022 she dressed the role of Elle, the hallucinated protagonist of Francis Poulenc's La Voix Humaine, with a large screen that also made her gestures visible to the audience.


‍ Continuing the collection of out-of-the-ordinary female roles she favors, Hannigan brings Girl Crazy Suite to the Festival, in the adaptation she co-curated with composer Bill Elliott from George Gershwin's musical of the same name. First staged in 1930, it is among the greatest masterpieces of the American tradition and heralded Ginger Rogers' rise in the pantheon of actresses, while the film version's cast included Mickey Roneey and Judy Garland. The Suite was part of Hannigan's world tour with the Ludwig Orchestra in 2017, and the first album recorded the following year for Alpha Records from singer and conductor, which won a Grammy Award.

‍

In the first part of the concert, the juxtaposition of symphonic pieces from different eras is equally pungent. It begins with Le festin de l'araignée, a suite from Albert Roussel's ballet about a parade of insects trapped in a spider's web among the plants of a sunny garden. The same light filters through the pages of Haydn's "London" Symphony, among the composer's most sparkling inventions. Among Jean Sibelius' best-loved works, with its melancholy, crystalline atmospheres the Valse triste is to Finland as On the Beautiful Blue Danube is to Austria.
