Experience Barbara Hannigan live on December 17th

Barbara Hannigan will perform at Halle Aux Grains in Toulouse, France on December 17, 2026. Hannigan is a Canadian soprano and conductor recognized for her interpretations of 20th and 21st-century vocal repertoire, as well as works from the standard operatic and concert traditions. Her performances are often noted for their dramatic intensity, technical precision, and a commitment to contemporary music by composers such as Ligeti, Janáček, and Unsuk Chin. She frequently appears with leading orchestras worldwide and has garnered acclaim for both her singing and conducting engagements.

Halle Aux Grains is a significant concert venue in Toulouse, originally constructed in the mid-19th century (1848-1853) as a grain market – hence its name, translating to “Grain Market Hall.” It underwent renovations in the late 20th century to transform it into a performance space. The building showcases neoclassical architectural features and is known for its excellent acoustics. It primarily hosts classical music concerts but also accommodates other performing arts events. The hall is managed by the city of Toulouse and plays a central role in the region's cultural life, hosting both local and international artists.
