In this concert, she will join hands with pianist Emmanuel Christian to present masterpieces of cello sonatas by Beethoven, Poulenc, Liszt and Chopin, leading the audience to feel the romantic poetry of autumn between the bow and keys.

She has performed with artists such as Patrice Fontanarosa, David Grimal, Paul Katz, Svetlin Roussev, François Salque, Jean-Guihen Queyras, Maxim Vengerov, Thierry Escaich, Raquele Magalhaes and Paolo Rigutto. As a soloist, Aurélien has performed with orchestras such as the Lille National Orchestra, the Baden-Baden Philharmonic, the Orchestre des Nord/Pas-de-Calais, the Orchestre National de Bordeaux-Aquitaine, the Lyon Chamber Orchestra. Her repertoire includes works by Lalo, Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák and the Brahms Double Concerto.

In February 2018, as a member of the Gallien Trio, she won third prize in the prestigious "Franz Schubert and Contemporary Music" in Glass together with Tristan Lier (violinist) and Emanuelle Christian (pianist). In September of the same year, she won first prize and the audience favorite award at the 23rd "Gaetano Zinetti" competition in Verona.

In April 2018, in collaboration with pianist Lorène de Ratuld, their CD "Crépuscule" was released by Anima-Records. In 2016, her recording of David Monrad Johansen's works for SIMAX Classic in Norway was nominated for a Norwegian Grammy Award. In 2010-11, she was selected to participate in the Holland International Music Festival as part of the New Music Masters Tour Program, with concert performances in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. In 2009, the Académie des Beaux-Arts awarded her the Fondation Del Duca award in recognition of her musical career. Aureliane plays on a cello made in 1859 by Nicolas François Vuillaume.

Guangzhou Opera House is a Chinese opera house in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it opened on the 9th of May in 2010.

In April 2002 an international architectural competition attracted Coop Himmelb(l)au, Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid – each producing detailed designs. In November 2002, Zaha Hadid's "double pebble" was announced the winner and the groundbreaking ceremony was held early in 2005.

The theatre has become the biggest performing centre in southern China and is one of the three biggest theatres in the nation alongside Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai's Shanghai Grand Theatre. May 2010 saw American filmmaker Shahar Stroh direct the premiere production of the opera house: Puccini's opera Turandot which had in previous years been a controversial opera in China.

The structure was designed by Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. It is conceived as two rocks washed away by the Pearl River. Its freestanding concrete auditorium set within an exposed granite and glass-clad steel frame took over five years to build, and was praised upon opening by architectural critic Jonathan Glancey in The Guardian, who called it "at once highly theatrical and insistently subtle."
