Pablo Heras-Casado is a Spanish conductor internationally recognized for his interpretations of Spanish and Italian repertoire, as well as French composers like Debussy and Ravel.

He is known for championing contemporary composers alongside established masters.

The concert on November 15, 2026, will take place at the Opéra Bastille in Paris. Opened in 1989, the Opéra Bastille was conceived as a modern counterpart to the historic Palais Garnier, aiming to broaden access to opera and provide a more democratic performance space. Designed by architect Carlos Ott, its architecture is characterized by its massive scale and use of concrete, steel, and glass. It’s part of the Opéra national de Paris, offering a diverse program encompassing opera and ballet.

The Opéra Bastille was built following public demand for a second opera house in Paris; the Palais Garnier was considered insufficient for the city’s needs. The venue's acoustics have been subject to ongoing refinement since its opening, with adjustments made to optimize sound projection and clarity for both performers and audiences.
