Simon Rattle conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in performances of Debussy's Pelleas et Melisande semi-staged by Peter Sellars with Magdalena Kozena, Christan Gerhaher and Gerald Finley. Other LSO highlights include a new children's opera by Peter Maxwell Davies, The Hogboon, and a number of concerts in the Shakespeare 400 celebrations such as John Eliot Gardiner conducting Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Nights Dream. (There is also a Shakespeare strand running through the Barbican Cinema season).
The LSO focuses on contemporary music with two concerts conducted by Thomas Adès and including his own work (Wednesday 9 & Wednesday 16 March), and the return of LSO Futures, concerts and events looking at the music of today. Works by graduates of the LSO composer schemes will be performed as well as workshopped by the LSO, with conductor François-Xavier Roth on Friday 11 and Sunday 13 March, and a conference, “Getting it right? New Music and Dance” curated by composer Julian Anderson is on Wednesday 9 March.
In the theatre Simon McBurney and Complicite present The Encounter, Ian Bostridge and the Britten Sinfonia will be directed by Netia Jones in Hans Zender's re-imagination of Winterreise, and there is a rare opportunity to see French actress Isabelle Huppert in Phaedra(s).
