An eclectic artist with a thousand lives, ambassador of French piano, and the winner of multiple Victoires de la Musique awards – there's no one quite like Alexandre Tharaud. This season, he is back to the Lyon Opera main stage.
Alexandre Tharaud goes from Mozart to Barbara with effortless grace. A soloist, chamber musician, transcriber, stage and screen performer – he captivates anyone who listens to him. This season, he offers a journey through the classical repertoire, improvisations, and French chanson. An inventive program full of delightful surprises.
