Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan (born 1971) is as renowned for the raw physicality of her performances as for her extended high register and affinity with contemporary music; roles written for her unique instrument and dramatic temperament include Ophelia in Brett Dean’s Hamlet and Hans Abrahamsen’s let me tell you, Agnès in George Benjamin’s Written on Skin, Isabelle in his Lessons in Love and Violence, and Gabi in Gerald Barry’s The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant. Concentrating almost exclusively on twentieth-century and contemporary repertoire, her more mainstream roles include Debussy’s Mélisande and Berg’s Lulu as well as Elle in Poulenc’s La Voix humaine.
