Stéphane Degout live in London

Experience Stéphane Degout live on June 15th

Stéphane Degout, a French countertenor celebrated for his expressive interpretations and vocal agility, will perform at Wigmore Hall on June 15, 2026. Degout’s repertoire spans from Baroque masterpieces – particularly those of Handel and Vivaldi – to French mélodie and contemporary compositions. He is known for a nuanced approach to ornamentation and a warm, richly coloured tone, often performing with period instrument ensembles as well as modern orchestras. His discography includes acclaimed recordings of Bach cantatas and works by composers such as Rameau.

Wigmore Hall, located in central London, holds a distinguished position in the classical music world. Opened in 1901, it was originally built as a private recital room for the Bechstein piano company. Unlike larger concert venues, Wigmore Hall's intimate size – seating approximately 544 – contributes to its exceptional acoustics and creates a particularly close connection between performers and audience. Throughout its history, the hall has become renowned for its dedication to song recitals and chamber music, hosting performances by many of the most significant musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries.
