Barbara Hannigan live in Amsterdam

Experience Barbara Hannigan live on October 25th

Barbara Hannigan will perform at Muziekgebouw Amsterdam on October 25, 2026. Hannigan is a Canadian soprano and conductor renowned for her interpretations of 20th and 21st-century vocal repertoire, particularly the works of composers like Ligeti, Berg, and Stravinsky. Her performances are frequently noted for their dramatic intensity, technical precision, and emotional depth; she often undertakes both vocal and conducting roles within a single concert. She is also known for her commitment to contemporary music and collaborative projects.

Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, opened in 2005, is a leading concert hall dedicated to contemporary and new music. Designed by architect Wilhelm Holzbauer, the building’s acoustics were specifically engineered for a wide range of musical styles, with particular attention paid to electronic and experimental music. It houses several performance spaces including the Grote Zaal (Great Hall) – likely the venue for Hannigan’s concert – and smaller halls suitable for more intimate performances. The building is situated within the Amsterdam harbor area as part of a larger cultural complex that includes the Bimhuis jazz club and the IJ-hallen event space.
