The plutocratic Lucerne Festival has announced ‘diversity’ as the theme of next summer’s festival, where a pair of good seats can set you back half a grand.

The American singer Angel Blue (pictured) has been named Artiste Etoile.

There is also a focus on the drummer and instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey.

Composer in residence Thomas Adès will conduct the world premiere of his violin concerto with Anne-Sophie Mutter as soloist.
