Longy's Edward M. Pickman Hall
French soprano Axelle Fanyo makes her Boston debut with a captivating program showcasing the vocal brilliance and emotional depth that have defined her rising career on opera and recital stages. Praised for her extraordinary expressiveness, Fanyo “does not only embody a character, she tells us the story. She clearly cultivates the art of communication, which gives her singing another dimension” (Forum Opéra).
A 2024 Grammy Award winner for her San Francisco Symphony debut in Saariaho’s Adriana Mater, Fanyo offers a vibrant program spanning the 20th century—from evocative depictions of far-flung destinations and life on the road to intimate cabaret vignettes that capture the charm of everyday moments.
Experience Axelle Fanyo’s artistry in intimate Pickman Hall in this must-hear, must-see debut.
“Best of all is Axelle Fanyo, passionate and declamatory throughout, so that the greatness of the poetry itself really hits home. ”
