FLEUR BARRON
mezzo soprano
“Barron brought incredible poise and expressive weight --
not to mention a thrillingly dark and rich-veined mezzo and
a striking stage presence" (Seen and Heard International)

The 2025-26 season features exciting operatic and symphonic debuts for Grammy-winning mezzo Fleur Barron. Highlights include her Salzburg Festival debut in One Morning Turns into an Eternity, a new production helmed by Esa-Pekka Salonen and Peter Sellars; her New York Philharmonic debut under Gustavo Dudamel in the world premiere of David Lang's oratorio The Wealth of Nations, her Berlin Philharmonic debut under Kirill Petrenko in Mahler's Symphony no.8, which also tours to the Salzburg Easter Festival; a house debut at Teatro dell'Opera di Roma in the title role of Saariaho's Adriana Mater directed by Peter Sellars, a house and role debut with Maggio Musicale in Florence as Cornelia in Handel's Giulio Cesare; a staged production of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde by Lemi Ponifasio at the Barbican. Fleur continues her relationship with conductors Nathalie Stutzmann and Semyon Bychkov in return invitations to the Czech Philharmonic (Mahler Kindertotenlieder), Atlanta Symphony (Bach B Minor Mass) and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (Mozart Requiem). She appears twice with the RAI National Symphony Orchestra, Torino, in Mahler's Kindertotenlieder and Alma Mahler's Fünf Lieder. On the recital platform, she performs an all-French program with Kirill Gerstein at Festival Ravel; tours with Julius Drake to South Korea, Genoa, Germany, Paris and London; and undertakes a U.S. tour with Trio Afiori, her new voice-clarinet-piano trio, alongside friends Anthony McGill and Gloria Chien.
