FLEUR BARRON

mezzo soprano 

Books

“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)

Fleur pink headshot_edited_edited.jpg

The 2024-25 season sees Fleur emerge as an exciting, leading voice in Mahlerian repertoire across a series of important symphonic debuts: Das Lied von der Erde with Daniel Harding on tour with the BRSO, with Harding on tour with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, with Kent Nagano at the Elbphilharmonie, and at the Oregon Bach Festival; Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn with Nathalie Stutzmann and the Atlanta Symphony; Mahler Symphony no.2 with the Orquesta de Valencia, the Rückert Lieder with PhilZuid, and the Kindertotenlieder at Het Concertgebouw's 2025 Mahler Festival. Other orchestral engagements include Lieberson's Neruda Songs with the Hawaii Symphony, Saariaho's Adriana Songs with the Turku Philharmonic, and orchestrated Schubert songs with the Orquesta Sinfonica di Oviedo. Fleur takes on three new opera roles: Concepcion in Ravel's L'Heure Espagnole with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra under Ludovic Morlot; Comrade Chin in Huang Ruo's M. Butterfly at the Barbican, and Galatea in Handel's Aci, Galatea e Polifermo with La Nuova Musica at Wigmore Hall. On the recital platform, Fleur undertakes a 6-city U.S. recital tour with pianist Kunal Lahiry, including her Carnegie Hall debut, as well as a U.S. recital tour with the Parker Quartet. She also joins regular collaborator Julius Drake for concerts at Het Concertgebouw, Wigmore Hall, Stuttgart, Madrid, Manchester and Oviedo. Fleur also teaches a series of masterclasses at major European and American insitutions.

Bio

"Fleur Barron was the charismatic star, projecting her character's sass but also her sincerity, with a tone that was idiomatically dark and smoky" (The Boston Globe)
