She's a phenomenon. Her Gershwin medley, concluding with I Got Rhythm soaring four octaves to a top E, is astonishing. Unfortunately she's phasing out singing in favour of conducting.

We saw Hannigan in London. Not only did she conduct, she got the whole orchestra to sing Gershwin's 'But Not For Me'. The audience left the theatre humming and even singing.

Always something new to learn - Barbara Hannigan is simply outstanding. Diane Damrau is fabulous. Poor bus driver.
