Engine 1 compressor stall required in flight shutdown. All ECAM actions were followed and First Officer was Pilot Flying. Priority handling was requested with ZZZ Center and we were given direct to ZZZ1. Dispatch was notified and FA communication was established. After being handed off to ZZZ1 approach we were vectored for an approach to RWY XX. ALL QRH follow-up procedures were completed and passenger PA accomplished. ZZZ1 approach assigned a discreet tower frequency that was monitored by ZZZ1 fire and rescue as well. Uneventful landing and roll out followed by inspection by ZZZ1 fire equipment in the east hold bay. After receiving the all clear we taxied to the open gate.The QRH has very good procedures for FA communications but a few salient bullet points should be added for the passenger PA announcements. All company and ATC people involved were at the highest professional level which reduced the overall stress of the situation.
