Set against the striking backdrop of the Archbishop’s Palace, this festival has an eclectic programme that mixes crowd-pleasers (Così Fan Tutte by Mozart) and lesser-known operas (Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Golden Cockerel) with classical concerts (Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra will play Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra and Mahler’s Symphony No 4 in G Major) and more unusual offerings, such as the UNESCO-recognised polyphonic songs of Sardinian ensemble Tenores di Bitti (www.festival-aix.com).
