Music – and specifically the one-off, live extravaganza – has defined Manchester International Festival since its inception, from Rufus Wainwright’s debut opera (2009) to Bjork’s Biophilia live debut (2011) and Massive Attack’s collaboration with Adam Curtis (2013). This year’s line-up was similarly impressive, with a multi-genre line-up that offered something for everyone; a sonic balm after a year without live music.
